How do I uninstall .NET 4.6 RC?

Now I know I should have installed Visual Studio 2015 RC on the VM, but I didn't, so when I uninstalled it, .NET 4.6 RC didn't go away with it unfortunately. This is probably not a problem, but when I tried to install a specific extension in VS 2013, the installer would not proceed stating that it could not find the correct version of the .NET framework (it was looking for 4.5), 4.6 is an in-place update, so at it now runs VS 2013 and also when viewed in the Help -> About dialog box.

I see .NET 4.6 RC in the program list in the control panel, so I can just uninstall it there and be done with it. So this is really what I did and the uninstaller reported success.

Not. The extension still complains about the wrong version of the .NET framework, and VS 2013 still says it is running 4.6. I thought it was just a registry setting that the uninstaller forgot to reset, but when I looked at the System.dll located in the .NET 4 installation directory it actually shows the version number 4.6.000.30. I thought that a repair on VS 2013 might do the trick, but that didn't work either.

So how do I get rid of this sucker? Thank you in advance for your reply.

Uninstall every version of .Net Framework from Programs and Features from Windows Control Panel. You might want to use the .NET Framework Cleanup Tool User Guide .

Now, in order to completely uninstall the .Net Framework, you need to uninstall the updated Windows Update. As said when you try to uninstall .Net Framework using cmd command using / uninstall https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee942965(v=vs.110).aspx



So, go to "Programs and Features" in Windows Control Panel, show updates and uninstall KB3033095 (.Net Framework 4.6) update. I also had to uninstall KB2934520 (.Net Framework 4.5.2).

Repair Visual Studio 2012 or 2013 in Windows Control Panel Programs and Features.

I would recommend you go to installed updates and search for KB3102467 (for Windows Server 2012R2). Remove this update, restart the server. Hope this helps you!

Go to the "Add uninstaller programs" section In Control Panel it is located here Control Panel \ Programs \ Programs and Features

and press the M key to go to Microsoft. You should see Microsoft.Net 4.6 and related items, select one by one and click "Delete" at the top for each.
