About the .NET Framework 4.7

The .NET Framework 4.7 Developer Pack lets developers build applications that target the .NET Framework 4.7 by using Visual Studio 2015, or third-party IDEs. This is a single package that bundles the .NET Framework 4.7, the .NET 4.7 Targeting Pack, and the .NET Framework 4.7 SDK. The associated language packs for Developer Pack contain the language-specific resources for the .NET Framework 4.7 and the .NET Framework 4.7 SDK.

This package installs the following components:

The .NET Framework 4.7 Developer Pack (NDP47-DevPack-KB3186612-ENU.exe): Contains the .NET Framework 4.7, the .NET Framework 4.7 Targeting Pack, the .NET Framework 4.7 SDK, and the ENU IntelliSense.

Notes

The .NET Framework 4.7 WPF features take a dependency on D3DCompiler_47.dll. By default, this D3DCompiler_47.dll isn't present in Windows 7 SP1, Windows 2008 R2 SP1 or Windows 2012 OS platform. Therefore, these OS platforms require D3DCompiler_47.dll to be installed for the .NET Framework 4.7 WPF features to work as expected. For D3DCompiler_47.dll install information details, see known issues article.
This package should not be used if you intend to redistribute the .NET Framework. Instead, you should download the web installer.
