.NET Framework 4.7.2 update

You may have noticed that when you are trying to install AgExpert Analyst 2018-03 or Field Manager PRO/360 2019-01 you receive a pop-up message asking you to install a 4.7.2 .NET Framework update. This is not a virus! It is simply a security update developed by Windows that we now require to be installed before downloading the updated version of AgExpert Analyst.

.NET Framework 4.7.2 can be installed on the following versions of Windows only. If you have an older version of Windows it is recommended to upgrade as soon as you can.

• Windows 10 Creators Update
• Windows 10 Fall Creators Update
• Windows 10 Anniversary Update
• Windows 8.1
• Windows 7 SP1

If you are unsure what version of Windows you have on your computer follow these steps:

1. Press the Windows key on your keyboard and the letter R at the same time. This will launch the Run window.
2. Type Winver and click OK. 
   
   

OR

Windows 8 or newer: 

1. Click on the Windows Start buttin
2. Type About your PC in the search box and select About your PC.
