I have to run a windows msi installer application that demands .NET Framework 4.5.2 to be installed in the system.
Now in my system few versions of .NET framework are already installed namely 4.6, 3.5 and 4.8 are already installed. But I am unable to install version 4.5.2 because it conflicts with version 4.6 which is already installed. I am posting the commands I entered and the output, if anyone can answer how to proceed, it will be a great help (Thank you in advance):

Answering my own question. After some search I found the following link:
It says that one must not install the previous version in 4x series if a newer version is already installed. Now I have to try to uninstall 4.6 and 4.8 and then install 4.5.2.
