You should understand that all the necessary components are downloaded from the Microsoft site during installation and installation will take significant time.

After finishing of .NET Framework 4.5 installation, you can continue to install WM Restore Tool.

After finishing of .NET Framework 4.5 installation, you should restart WM Restore Tool setup program.

3.     WM Restore Tool setup program automatically detects whether WM Restore Tool is already installed and what version is installed, and offers to remove WM Restore Tool before starting of new installation. To continue with the installation click Next. When you reinstall or upgrade the software, you can choose which settings and files created in program operations should be retained, see details in the Removing the Software chapter of this user manual.

Wait for the finishing of removal of the previous version.
