Stupid to require framework 4.6

I doubt that this application really requires Framework 4.6
I cant download and install 1.6 GIGABYTE on my disk that does not have so much space free.
It would have been VERY intelligent to write this software for an older framework !!
Hi.

Exactly, DotNET Framework 4.6.1:

I don't think so...
$ curl -I -fSsL 'https://download.visualstudio.microsoft.com/download/pr/8e396c75-4d0d-41d3-aea8-848babc2736a/80b431456d8866ebe053eb8b81a168b3/ndp462-kb3151800-x86-x64-allos-enu.exe' | grep 'Content-Length'

Where did you download the installer from? https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework/net462 ? You need to choose the download type of "Run apps - Runtime". A 1.6 GB download maybe means Visual Studio or something else wrong.
Hello
Obviously I downloaded the link that you put:
https://github.com/lucasg/Dependencies/releases/download/v1.11.1/Dependencies_x64_Release.zip
And I get this:
After downloading the framwork installer I get this:
My disk does not 1,6 Gigabyte free, so I cannot use you software.
It would be intelligent to compile it on VS 2010 so it runs on all computers.
OK, I've tried it on Windows 7 SP1, too. The "ndp462-kb3151800-x86-x64-allos-enu.exe" installer extracted about 490 MB files. I have no idea why it'd like to take 1662 MB on your PC though. For now, the only way might be performing Disk Cleanup, but the situation of your disk space is not so good, I think.

Well, I believe the author is not intentionally trying to embarrass Windows 7 users, but for some reason; in other words, migrating Dependencies to DotNET Framework 4.0 (VS 2010) might be infeasible.
Writing this tool in a fancy crappy framework was already a fatal mistake.
