Answer 1

I also met the same issue when installing .NET framework 4.7 on the PC with Win 7 sp1 system.

The solution with detailed steps is below can be seen in:

Then the issue will hopefully be resolved.

Update: Recently down-voted. Please let others know what didn't work. I have not looked at this issue for a long time.

Heath Stewart's Blog: I think you will find the explanation here: A certificate chain could not be built to a trusted root authority. Essentially some components in Visual Studio 2012 were signed with a SHA256 hash certificate not installed on all Windows versions.

Are you on a virtual? It might not be updated - running Windows Update might fix the whole problem? You need a root certificate update. I would try that before reading the information below. I would assume the problem would be fixed by now via Windows Update, but perhaps not?

You will find links in the above, linked blog. I will just inline a few of the links here (in case the blog disappears):

• KB2746268
• From MSDN Forums
• Configure Trusted Roots and Disallowed Certificates

And a general link just for reference: .NET Framework deployment guide for developers.

Thank you but ı already ı added microsoft root certifacete and d3d compiler.dll.Now it works good. – Archduchy

Not sure I understand, you got it working some other way? – Pentacle

Answer 3

A solution that worked for .NET Framework 4.8 (and hopefully 4.7 as well):

Your PC may be missing a certificate: For my problem, I needed to import MicRooCerAut2011.crt to console root (windows + R, type "mmc", then press Enter).

Here are step-by-step instructions on how to do this (the text is in Indonesian, but the images should make sense anyway) and where to download the certificate file from.

A link to a non-English website is not very useful. It's preferable to simply add all the necessary details to the answer, and avoid the link entirely. – Christcrossrow
