Is it possible to reinstall .NET 4.0 on windows 11 without having to rip stuff out of the registry manually? I found and tried NetFxRepairTool, but that was surprisingly useless since it only supports interacting with .NET installs of a certain age. I also downloaded the official dotNetFx40_Full_setup.exe tool in order to try and reinstall 4.0 directly and it gave some hilarious outputs.

the official readme for the tool has a whole section about uninstalling but nothing contained within
The tool when ran in a shell and explicitly told to uninstall is completely delusional
All this to try and get virtual desktop to install because it's having stack overflow exceptions with C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\clr.dll
I've run DISM and sfc for refreshing corrupted files multiple times but it hasn't seemed to help
I've also tried targeting the dll directly with sfc and it sees no issues with the file

Sorry to say but:
.NET 4 was a Standard when Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 were still around!
Try to upgrade your Application if you can, or contact someone from the Manufacturer
yea I had just hoped there was a way to force reinstall it
stack overflow exceptions with C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\clr.dll
this error caused by the application, not the runtime.
