Lately, I've noticed a lot more software requiring the .NET
framework be installed. I guess if you want the latest version,
you don't have a choice. But, if it was needed just to update a
driver for a piece of hardware that's already working properly?
That I might think awhile about.
FYI, I've never run into a problem on any of the computers that
I've installed .NET framework on. The only occasional issue that
I'm aware of is that some users have to redo the settings that
log them onto Windows automatically. That's discussed here:

You can download the .NET framework directly from this site:

Good luck
