I provisioned a new Windows 10 64-bit machine and immediately installed VisualStudio on it. During this installation it prompted me to install some .NET related dependencies.

Running:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319> .\MSBuild.exe -version

looks like 4.8.37520 is whats installed currently.

I am now trying to install another tool that requires .NET 3.5.1 installed.

So my thinking here was:

  1. Uninstall v4.8.x
  2. Download and install v3.5.1

So I go to Add or remove programs and type in ".NET" in the search bar and the only item that crops up is:

"Microsoft .NET Core SDK 3.0.100 (x64) from Visual Studio"

So now I'm at a total standstill: do I have 4.8.x installed, or 3.0.100? How does one properly downgrade from 4.8.x to 3.5.1?

.NET 3.5 is an add-on, it is not included in .NET 4.x. Just leave 4.8 alone, and also install 3.5.
