Disable-DotNet3

Description​

This script will disable the .NET 3.5 Windows feature. It will attempt to install a new version of .NET prior to disabling .NET 3.5. If no new version exists and the script is unable to install a new version, it will not disable .NET 3.5.

Requirements​

  • PowerShell V5
  • The removal of the .NET 3.0 feature requires a reboot.

Usage​

  1. Determine if a new version of .NET exists (greater than or equal to .NET 4.0). If not, install it and verify the installation.
  2. Disable the .NET 3.5 feature only if a new version is present.
.\Disable-DotNet3.ps1

This command will ensure that a new version of .NET is installed and disable the old versions if a newer version is available.
