Hi, I tried that link and I get this message:

.NET Framework 4.7.2 or a later update is already installed on this computer.

When I go into add features and roles. Only ASP.NET 3.5 and 4.5 are available.

Hi，

For your first question:

“Is it possible to have ASP.NET 4.7 for IIS on windows 2012 R2?”

The answer is YES and .NET Framework 4.7 can be installed on Windows Server. You can refer to the following picture:

More details you can refer to the following link:

.NET Framework versions and dependencies

/en-us/dotnet/framework/migration-guide/versions-and-dependencies

Besides, the second question:

“*.NET Framework 4.7.2 or a later update is already installed on this computer. When I go into add features and roles. Only ASP.NET 3.5 and 4.5 are available.”*****

Try the following steps:

Check your windows update whether is up to date, if not, try to update it;
Run registry and navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full, check for a DWORD entry named Release. Its value is a release key that corresponds to a particular version of the .NET Framework. In the following figure, for example, the value of the Release entry is 461814, which is the release key for .NET Framework 4.7.2.

If your release value is same as me, you don’t have to install any extra .net.

Please feel free to let me know if it works.
