Web Platform Installer - ProductId NETFramework4 not found

After setting a custom feed in Web Platform Installer when trying to set up mojoPortal the program crashed with the error ProductId NETFramework4 not found:

When trying to launch the program again the same error happened upon launch.

I tried re-installing the program but the problem remained.

Solution

  • The fix that worked for me was to delete the configuration file webpi.preferences found in the folder:

    C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Web Platform Installer

    To get there you can:

    1. Press: Win + R

    2. Type: %APPDATA% Enter

    3. And then navigate to the folder mentioned above and delete the preferences file.
