To determine which version of Microsoft .Net Framework (.NET Framework 4.5 and later) is installed on your machine and being used by SAS Enterprise Guide, look in your Registry Editor. Follow the steps below.
Note: You must have administrative credentials to run regedit.exe.
- Click Start or Start ► Run, depending on your operating system.
- In the command box, enter regedit.exe.
- In the Registry Editor dialog box, open the following subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full
Note: The path to the Full subkey includes the subkey Net Framework rather than .NET Framework.
If the Full subkey is not present, then you do not have the .NET Framework 4.5 or later installed.
4. Check for the REG_DWORD value Release. The existence of the Release REG_DWORD, as shown below, indicates that .NET Framework 4.5 or later has been installed on that computer.
The Data value of the Release DWORD indicates which version of .NET Framework is installed and which one SAS Enterprise Guide is using. In the example above, the value is 378389.
| Value of the Release DWORD | Version |
| 378389 | .NET Framework 4.5 |
| 378675 | .NET Framework 4.5.1 installed with Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2 |
| 378758 | .NET Framework 4.5.1 installed on Windows 8, Windows 7 SP1, or Windows Vista SP2 |
| 379893 | .NET Framework 4.5.2 |
| On Windows 10 systems: 393295 On all other OS versions: 393297 | .NET Framework 4.6 |
