I'd like to skip the installing of the Net Framework 4.0 and install only the Net Framework 4.5 Is there any way for doing this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AlienVault Unified Security Management (USM) platform delivers complete security visibility with the essential security capabilities.
