When I unzip it and start it, it says that .Net 3.5 is needed, and prompts me to automatically install it before running the program. When I click on the menu item to install it, it gives me an error, and says make sure you're connected to internet.

Edit: I had shut off all of the Windows Update stuff via Shutup10. Once I re-allowed some of the update options and rebooted, then it was able to net-install .Net 3.5 on Win10.

Uncheck the DirectX installation option; Win10 already includes the latest version.

I am using OCCT as my "goto quick OC testing tool" for ages already, the "latest", 4.4.1 NEVER worked on my Win8 and probably also not on my Win10 machine. At some point I simply gave up installing 4.4.1 and use 4.4.0. It sure is not a problem with my computer(s), it's some net-related problem with OCCT 4.4.1

here's how to install .net 3.5:

you will need your win 10 disk or usb install.
go to control panel and click on Programs and Features
then look for and click Turn Windows features on or off
Check if the “.NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)” option is available in it
check it off and click ok.
follow whatever instructions pop up.

alternatively you can use this in an elevated command prompt:

Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /All /Source: D : \sources\sxs /LimitAccess

make sure that D is replaced with the correct drive letter that has your win 10 iso on it.

PS: remove the spaces before and after the D and the :
