Two types of redistributable installations for framework 4.5 are available:

1. Web installer (requires internet connection)
2. Offline installer

These can be found on: Installing the .NET Framework[^]

I would not recommend using the offline installer however, the web installer seems to do a better job to install missing parts.

In the past when running a .NET framework application it would automatically check for the presence of the .NET framework and show a dialog offering to download it if not found, sadly this functionality seems to be gone in recent versions (at least in my opinion, correct me if I'm wrong).

You MUST install the .NET Framework version your application is written against.

If your machine has slowed down, it's not because of the .NET Framework. It doesn't really do anything at all unless a .NET app is running.

The Redistributable is the only thing you need, unless your app is using something like SQL Server. Then you're going to have to install anything else your app needs to run.
