Installing the .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows 8

Recommended Posts

Require to run an old program that requires Dotnet 2.

Have tried the following:

1. Enable through prog/features, errors out, says it cannot connect to WU to download files! WU works fine otherwise though!

2. Tried enabling with dism gets to 66% & errors also!

3. Tried changing Gpedit enable the policy to use Windows Update instead of WSUS, still no good.

I have a fully up to date install & no Lang packs were installed.

Have followed MS examples on this page : here

Any advice is appreciated?

run the DISM command with the LimitAccess flag. If this doesn't fix it, copy the folder C:\Windows\logs\CBS to the desktop, zip it and upload it.

Thanks, just tried it again using:

dism /online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFX3 /All /Source:C:\SxS /LimitAccess

Errors out approx 66.5%!

Checked the sxs dir & verified this on my original setup disk ok.

Please see CBS log attached.

Hi

Have copied the entire SxS dir 274mb to the root of C. Checked off the install media & removed all read only attributes too.

Checked the script & paths also!

It still gives the missing source error?

Screen capture below confirms the log.

If I drop the "/LimitAccess" from the script dism complains it cannot download the files.

I can see it copies the files but next it fails. I have no real idea. Download the Enterprise Eval DVD and mount the ISO and point to this SxS folder. Does this work?

Thanks M for your time, I read all over the net some get it to work others like me don't. Will keep plugging away.

I think that it's impossible to install .NET Framework 3.5 in Windows 8 once you've installed language packs. Have you installed any of them in your system?

Hi

I have an english en-gb OEM disk, obviously with en-us lang files built in. I did however remove all traces of the en-gb files from the source & boot.wim.

Remember no Lang packs were installed whatsoever!
