Installing .net 4 without Server Manager or PowerShell

 A software consultant uninstalled .net 4 breaking the Datto agent.

I instinctively go to open Server Manager, oh wait, it has no icon.

I go to PowerShell, it flashes a window and closes.


I go to CMD and run 
Dism /online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx4 /All

Reboot

Server Manager is still missing so I run 
dism /online /enable-feature /all /featurename:server-gui-mgmt

I had to unpin and re-pin Server Manager to Start to get the icon back.

All is good.
