Does .NET Framework 4.5 work on Windows Server 2003?

Question

Can anyone tell me if Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 is compatible with Windows Server 2003 or not?

Answer 1

No. .NET 4 is the last framework version supported on Windows Server 2003. .NET 4.5 and higher are not supported on Windows Server 2003.

See .NET Framework Versions and Dependencies for more information.
