Visual Studio 2013 error installing microsoft.net framework 4.51

Question

Hi guys, I had a problem installing vs 2013, the image below shows an error

I researched a lot at Google, I found out that in Windows 8.1 the .NET Framework 4.5.1 is already part of the OS now, when vs 2013 is trying to install the .NET Framework 4.5.1, then an error will appear.

below is the installation log

please help thank you

Answer 1

All in all, this seems like a problem during the installation of NetFx 4.51. Try installing NetFX 4.5.1 manually from http://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=40779 . If you are still having problems, try google for netfxfullredist_43 and try to solve the problems around these search results.

Or, interestingly, I just got the question 0x800713ec: In this case. The root partition of the hard drive is too full. NetFX 4.5.1 requires a lot of space here; -)

Answer 2

If netFX 4.5.1 says that what it does is installed, does the VS 2013 Ultimate installer raise the problem? Then it should be different, as above.

In general, the root partition also needs a lot of free space. Not sure how much VS Ultimate is needed, but suppose something like 2 GB ++

Answer 3

I installed .NET 4.5.1 and uninstalled the Visual Studio installation and it worked.

Answer 4

In my case, this did not work due to the very high resolution of the screen.

The .net framework seems to need to check the status of ui, and high resolution can ruin this.

I used Windows 7 under a parallel desktop virtual machine, and the macbook host included full resolution, which is more than 1080p for Windows without retina support.

The solution is to resize Parallels Desktop to reduce resolution.
