Why we need .NET Framework during installation of some applications?
Many of the applications which has been developed nowadays requires .NET Framework of particular version in place prior to installation.
They are not embedded as part of software suite since the size of the .NET Framework which is used for development is huge. So they left it to the end user to deal with .NET Framework installation.
In general, you will get an error only if you are running lower version of .NET Framework, while trying to install application which was created with higher version of .NET Framework.
How to get the latest .NET Framework?
"Windows Updates" will update the latest avalilable .NET Framework as well.
You can explicitly download and install, if you are about to install particular application which needs the higher version of .NET Framework other than what you have.
Backward Compatibility for earlier versions are supported by higher versions but there are some applications that are configured to require a specific version of the .NET Framework, even if later versions of the .NET Framework are installed.
If you have any such application then it will throw an error when you try to install, asking for that specific version to be in place for processing the installation.
