Leave a reply

In this post I explain how to install .NET Framework 3.5 (including 2.0 and 3.0) to Windows 8 or Windows 8.1.

  • Insert or mount Windows 8/8.1 installation media.
  • Run Command Prompt as Administator.
  • Execute the following command:
    DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /LimitAccess /Source:d:\sources\sxs
    Don’t forget to replace d:\ with your installation drive letter.
