Iis – Get IIS to use .NET Framework > 4.6

iisnet

I have a newly installed Win Server 2016 with "IIS 10" installed (by "add features"->/guide/–> tick install IIS")

When I look at my app pools I see that thay have ".NET CLR Version" 4.0 and my apps uses v4.6.x. I cant change to any other versions in the dropdown.

When I check the win-registry (using this guide) at

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full

I get the number indicating .NET version 4.7. So how do I upgrade my IIS/App pools to support .NET FW > 4.0? This is a production server, so I dont want to start downloading and installing packages willy nilly here.

IIS and its App pools already support 4.7, there is nothing you need or can do about this.

Think of .NET CLR Version 4.0 to actually mean .NET CLR Version 4.x, there is only a single CLR 4 installed on your machine and IIS is using it.

No need to do anything, your application should run fine.
