Is Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2 Developer Pack safe to download?

Yes, in the sense we can actually verify: the installer downloads from microsoft.com, which is a domain we have tied to Microsoft Corporation.

Every one of the 4 installers on this page comes with the SHA-256 Microsoft Corporation declared, so you do not have to take our word for it: hash the file you downloaded and compare.

What this does not tell you is whether the software itself is any good, or whether you want what it does once installed. A publisher can ship something you would rather not run and the download is still authentic. We answer the question we can measure and leave the other one to you.
