The Windows Agent installation requires .NET 2.0. With Windows Server 2012, .NET 4.5 is installed by default. .NET 2.0
is an optional component that must be explicitly configured as part of .NET 3.5. Follow the steps below to install the
required .NET 2.0 for the Windows Agent.

Note: On the Windows Server 2012, .NET is installed by default as a Windows feature and it does not show up as an
option in the Control Panel Add/Remove programs user interface.

To configure .NET 3.5 (including .NET 2.0) for the Windows Agent:

Open the Add Roles and Features Wizard.

Select both ".NET Framework 3.5 Features" and ".NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)" as shown here:

Apply your changes.
