Microsoft recommends installing .NET framework using web installer. But web installer is not suitable for every user. It is nothing but a small file of size less than 1 MB which again downloads the original content. The major drawback of web installer is you need stable internet connection during the installation process. Also, web installer makes no sense if you share the .NET framework with someone since it needs the internet connection again while installing the .NET framework.

The one advantage for web installers over offline installers is you’ll get the latest version of .NET framework even if you try to install it after a year since it downloads the content freshly again
