Symptoms

When you attempt to install adTempus 4 on a computer running Windows Server 2012, setup may cause Windows to display the following message:

Windows Features

The following feature couldn't be installed:

.NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)

This occurs even though Windows Server 2012 already has .NET 4.5, and adTempus requires .NET 4.0.

Cause

This problem occurs because the setup bootstrapper is configured to use .NET 2.0 and Windows does not automatically run it against the newer version of .NET.

Workaround

Close the setup launcher, leaving the setup files extracted to their temporary location, which is "C:\adTempus 4 setup" by default. This folder contains a "setup.exe" program.

Download adTempus_setup_config.zip and extract the "setup.exe.config" file from the ZIP into the setup folder where setup.exe is located.

Now run setup.exe to complete setup.

You can then delete the folder containing the setup files.
