Hi, Everyone
Today I’m going to tell you about a serious problem for offline users. Microsoft .net framework 3.5(includes 3.0 and 2.5) is an essential component of Windows which runs many programs and installations.
Windows 8 does not include .NET 3.5 (include .NET 2.0 and 3.0) by default. But if you are upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8, .NET Framework 3.5 is fully enabled. You can make sure this feature is enabled by check in Program and Features.
There is a list of steps that you can do to check it :
Online Installation
Step 1:
Go to Settings. Choose Control Panel then choose Programs.
Step 2 :
Click Turn Windows features on or off, and the user will see window as image below.
The User can enable this feature by click on .NET Framework 3.5 (include .NET 2.0 and 3.0) select it and click OK. After this step, it will download the entire package from internet and install the .NET Framework 3.5 feature.
But if the user does not have an internet connection, this steps can not be applied.
Offline Installation
You can enable this feature in offline mode if you have Windows 8 DVD or ISO image.
Step 1 :
Insert Windows 8 DVD or mount ISO image. The source of this feature can be found in folder E:\sources\sxs. (In this case E:the user’s drive letter on which the user has loaded Windows 8 Media.)
Step 2 :
Open CMD.EXE with Administrative Privileges.
Step 3 :
Run the following command:
Dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /All /Source:E:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess
and hit Enter.
After completing the installation of .NET Framework 3.5 you can see that the feature is enabled.
For user not having Windows 8 DVD or ISO Image
If you don’t have the Windows 8 DVD or ISO image. Then no problem,you can download the Windows update package which will install Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5( includes 3.0 and 2.0) on your computer.This is as easy as updating your Windows.

HI, Use the following steps, if you’ve Windows 8 DVD
Insert the Windows 8 Installation Disk and note the drive. Check for the folders /source/sxs.
Run a Command Prompt as Administrator.
a) From the Windows Start Page, right-click any open space and click ‘All apps’.
b) Find Command Prompt, right-click the application, and choose ‘Run as administrator’.
c) If the User Account Control prompt appears, choose Yes.
Type the following command in the Command Prompt window and hit Enter:
Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFx3 /All /Source:”Path to installation media”:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess
For example, if the ‘Path to installation media’ is drive D: the code would look like the following:
Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFx3 /All /Source:D:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess
let me know if you’ve any issue 🙂
