September 7, 201312 yr Well for some reason, DOS_Probie's original script wasn't working for me on 8.1 x64 so I slightly modded it. But this "offline" method means one without internet access. MS also uses the word "offline" for DISM image servicing operations in which case this isn't applicable.@echo off&color atitle, [ + OFFLINE INSTALL OF NET 3.5 FRAMEWORK - DOS_PROBIE.2012 + ] :: =Windows 8 includes .Net 4.5 by default but not .NET 3.5 =::NOTE: INSTALLS .NET 3.5 FRAMWORK FEATURE ON DEMAND (FoD) FROM INSTALL DISC.::NetFx35.cmd:: SCAN_ACTIVE DRIVES;set "drv="for %%a in (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist "%%a:\bootmgr.efi" set drv=%%a:&goto :Install:Installif defined drv (echo == Installing NET 3.5 From Drive %drv%Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /All /Source:%drv%\sources\sxs /LimitAccess:: LOGdism /online /Get-FeatureInfo /FeatureName:NetFx3 >%systemdrive%\NetFx3.logecho.&echo.clsecho * DONE *echo.&echo.echo == Press any [KEY] to Close This Screen. &pause>nul) else (:: NO_DRIVEecho == No Active Drive Found!..Insert DVD or USB then Start Over. &pause>nul echo.)

September 7, 201312 yr A slightly more offline method. Should save everyone about 3 minutes per re-installation.Dism /Mount-WIM /WimFile:C:\test\images\install.wim /Name:"Windows 8 Professional" /MountDir:C:\test\offlineDism /Image:C:\test\offline /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /Source:X:\sources\sxsDism /Unmount-WIM /MountDir:C:\test\offline /Commit Edited September 7, 201312 yr by MrJinje
September 7, 201312 yr Author Good Stuff Guys! Also for those of you doing the post install method with 8.1 9600 and having error messages aboutnot finding the source etc. confirm the file size of your sxs directory it should be 275 MB (287,798,829 bytes) with 1,175 Files and 775 Folders. And for Non Admin accounts dism requires an elevated prompt so don't forget the right-click as Admin.. DP
