How To Install .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows 10 and Windows Server 2019

thx, it`s realy works.

Thanks for the post. Pretty crazy this made it past QA… you’d think installing .NET 3.5 would be a pretty key thing to test 🙂

Impressive, i was just turning around and i found you, great
Thanks a lot

Great!!

Just used this to install SQL2012 on a Windows Server 2012 virtual box. It worked fine so thanks for the advice. Am going to use it to create a Sharepoint 2013 farm.

BTW I set up another test box and used the option that appears at the bottom of the same window as the error message (shown in yellow above) and this installed the feature very quickly. Am going to do this to all my servers as a precautionary measure.

Thank you, i actually used ps with Install-WindowsFeature NET-Framework-Core –Source D:\Sources\sxs, thanks for the tip.

My issue was then installing SQL server 2008r2 onto the server 2012 box, all default options, it failed to install, is there anything else i need to be aware of?

I tried the recommended solution, but I get the error 0x800f081f. I tried to copy the entire folder on the local disk and change path same problem

That worked like charm..There should be a patch for this

Hey Zero,

I was running into the samething you were. I mounted the OS installation ISO and ran the command it and ended up running succcessfully. Hope that helps.

wow, thanks for your suggestions! regards

This was very helpful, and I appreciate you documenting this.

That was Brilliant. Thanks Daniel!

Worked like a charm to install .NET Framework 3.5 on my server. Thanks for the simple fix!

Thanks a lot…. most helpfull

Nice blog most helpfull

.NET 3.5 sources are on the CD/.iso of Windows Server 2012 in
:\sources\sxs (as you mentionned).

But When adding up the .NET 3.5 feature via Server Manager on your Windows Server 2012, when on the “Confirm installation selections” screen, there is a link at the bottom named “Specify an alternate source path” where you give the path I wrote above. Clicking install will work add .NET 3.5 flaslessly.

I just re-read what I’ve typed late last night… didn’t know the path would come out distorted like that. The ‘backslashes’ were interpretted it seems (is your site protected from injections?).

Also, sorry for the typos… it was REALLY late for me! 🙂

Thanks, It really help

Thanks for sharing… Appreciate… great job ! =)

Thanks, its really helpfull

I did many times like you mentioned above with no result it is giving me this error Error:0x800f0906. Any help please

thank’s man

gr8 is working 🙂

Great Its working.

Thanks for Saving our times.

Amit

Thanks!!!!

“Error 87” is what i get while pushing the command ahead in the cmd.I am still guessing what to do next,probably the feature “NEWTECH”was the thing I need to know how to get in the cmd.I need a assistance in this,Is there any one who can help out…………………

Thank you! You saved me from pulling out my hair. 🙂

and without de instalatión CD? for a windows azure 2012 server?

thanks very useful

if the above method does not work for you. Use add feature via server manager tick to install .net35 framework and on the next page specify the sources\sxs\path which should be you iso dvd. this should work.

Many thanks

thnks a lot dear,

Fantastic! Works like a charm. Thank you!!!

Thanx for sharing it

Much Thanks. It works!

Thank you very much.

This command works perfect:
dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /all /Source:D:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess

Thanks so much

It works like a charm!
Thank you very much 🙂

What you’re missing is the bottom of that screenshot that allows you to select alternate paths. which is really all you’re doing via the cmdline specifying the CD as the location. so its not a bug, its just poorly designed UI. And perhaps its stupid that they force you to use the CD to get it installed.

Thanks heaps! really helped

The solution you gave worked perfect.
dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /all /Source:d:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess

I could not install the .NET 3.5 from the Server Manager on 2012 server. I was about to give up then, I googled a fix for the last time and I found your solution. A M A Z I N G… Thanks!

Thanks it was very simple , it worked for me

🙂 The believe only the first step is necessary. Thanks for this blog post. I have linked it here: http://mileyja.blogspot.com/2013/07/definitive-guide-to-installing.html

Thanks it was very simple , it worked for me

Yeah, it’s enough! 🙂 thanks for linking!

Thanks its really very helpful link

Thanks so much! You have just saved me a whole lot of pain.

This is really helpful and solved the issue. Thank you.

Got a 0x800f081f error with D:\ mapped and all. What a cluster fuck of an install this is. On the RC I could live with it, not after paying 2000 euros for a license. This will not do. Not to mention no WSUS support unless that’s installed on Windows 2012 too, which you need .net 3.5 for. I don’t even.. Windows 2012 looks more and more like an open source project, what are they doing?

Thanks, it worked brilliantly.

@Rick, are you sure your ISO mounted on D:\? With me, it mounted on E:\.

Thanks!! 🙂

very Thanks

Thanks,You have just saved me a whole lot of pain.

This is brilliant. Many thanks.
You saved me from getting mad 😉

Thanks very powerful,

Is it possible that framework 3.5 cannot be installed on evaluation licence of WS2012 datacenter? I’ve tried this method after I’ve tried several times adding a feature. I even tried to run installer directly but result is the same….failed to install.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Excellent Buddy….. Thank u so much 🙂 🙂 🙂

Great. Works. Cheers.

Great stuff, thanks!

After downloading dotnetfx35, and trying every which way to get it to install (because this the way we did it in class)just using the 2012 windows install ISO was so easy. I guess since it will not install from add / remove features in Srv Mgr I just thought it was not in the 2012 windows package. Why include it but in the install medium, have a check box for it in add features and then not let it work. It’s Sooooooooooooooooo Microsoft.

Stupid Microsoft. Why can they not leave it as it was in server 2008 R2. There it was working fine. Now you need to go change the location of where to find the files. How dumb!!!

Thank you Daniel for taking the time and posting on this problem and the solution.

I say it AGAIN: STUPID MICROSOFT!!!

Thanks my man, i was a beginner at windows server, it really helped me alot

hi.. admin thanks a lot man….

Thanks a lot, it worked for me Win 2012 R2.
Many thanks from Honduras.

very very good
thanks

hello
it was very helpful.
thank you for everything

Thanks Man, That’s so helpful.
I can’t understand why Microsoft going on updating the .net framework and then ask you to install the old releases??
as Jim Sperry says “It’s Sooooooooooooooooo Microsoft”.

Agree with Peter (October 12, 2013 at 20:06). I cannot get it to install on the Evaluation Edition.

many many thanks mr daniel classon for the tutorial you post.. it helps me a lot

Thanks Man, That’s so helpful.

I have manually downloaded .NET Framework 3.5 installer from Microsoft website and on “Specify an alternate source path” form I’ve entered the path of my Downloads folder. Feature has been installed without error. It seems that it’s exactly the same installer as on Windows setup DVD. Your solution doesn’t require manual download but mine can be useful because sometimes the server is far away from your workstation and using DVD is not very handy.

Great stuff, thanks!

This worked perfectly! Thanks for your Help.

This worked great! Thanks

Great:)

its sioseeee o ni post nice sharing that’s great

Bravoo……….. thanks its working

,

Thanks It worked for me too. But I dont undyerstand why MS had to do this. its abit tiring

Bravoo……….. thanks its working

Worked for me as well. Thanks!

Thanks this helped me!
God Bless!

There are about 100 tutorials exactly like this one describing what to do if you have the disk, but not a single one describing what to do if you dont have the disk! Installing .net 3.5 on windows 8 without disk is not possible?? No this is not a pirated version, it’s legit but on a remote machine and running a virtual image. I cannot “insert disk”!!!!
Please a tutorial on how to do this _without_ the frigging disk.

Thanks for the article Daniel, worked a treat, though in my environment once I actioned the “dism” command .net 3.5 was then installed. No need to “choose” source.

@Supremo
I manage a virtual environment, you’ll probably want to find a way to Mount an ISO of the disk and perform the same operation as above.

Worked for me as well. Thank You

There’s no need to use UpperCase. In my (albeit limited) experience with powershell all commands can be entered as lowercase. But I realize that it makes the commands more readable.

Didn’t work for me. It failed and complained about non-matching verification information.

However one in PowerShell DID WORK:
Install-WindowsFeature NET-Framework-Core

It was the only solution that worked on my 2012 R2 Standard evaluation.

Great Article, Worked like a Charm. Thanks for posting it.

With PowerShell :
Install-WindowsFeature has a parameter by the name -Source where you can specify the path to alternate WinSxS directory on a mounted image, network path etc.

Install-WindowsFeature NET-Framework-Core -Source D:\source\sxs

The above will work too

Hi Daniel, helpful article, but didn’t work for me though 🙁

I tried the Step 2 first about 10 odd times, but was unsuccessful. Then I used Step 1, but it got stuck at 65.9% for something like 10 odd minutes, then moves onto 66.2% where it exits with error code: 14028. A component’s file does not match the verification information present in the component manifest.

Thanks very much, it worked very well for me

Thanks it was very simple , it worked for me.

Thanks!
Of course, since the files are on the CD/ISO anyway, do not know why the feature installation cannot find them on its own. . .

Thanks it was very simple , it worked for me

Thanks it was very simple , it worked for me

Great Article, Worked like a Charm. Thanks for posting it.

Good article! .NET Framework 4.5 is installed by default in Windows Server 2012, it should not be removed! if you remove your NET Framework 4.5 for Windows Server 2012 you can excpect some problems, this is the solution. http://windowstechblog.nl/verwijderen-net-framework-4-5-server-2012

Worked for me! Many thanks indeed for a great article.

Thanks very much for putting this together.

It was so good, thanks

thank u so much. =)

Awesome! Thankyou very much worked like a charm.

Thanks a TON.. it worked. Great help!!

Congratulations for the excellent post. Keep that way.

It is important to understand why you get this message as this will help you choose what to do next.
1. If your machine is connected to the Internet, you can continue with the installation and the “Add Roles and Features” wizard will download the required binaries from the Internet. There is a logic behind this, as you get an updated version of the binaries.
2. We are talking about 200MB of data. If you have a slow connection and the latest .Net 3.5 SP downloaded, the method suggested by Daniel is a very good choice.
3. The installation fails, and the only way to install .Net 3.5 is the Daniel’s method when:
– There is no Internet connection
– There is a Proxy which blocks the connection to the download site
– The Download location is not available – down for maintenance or update

And yes, if you wonder why the installation of .Net 3.5 takes so long – you are downloading the 200MB binaries before they are installed

hello when i run the command see this error

The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log

I had best results referencing the server location where the SHARED .ISO/.WIM file resided via the FQDN of the server rather than NetBIOS as this may imply to others..

We tried everything and no go, but by some coincidence I found out that if the server is not in a domain (just a workgroup), the server installs the dotnet3.5 without any problem and fixes 🙂

Did not work for me until I removed my windows update GPO

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2734782

Many thanks for the info.

I tried it, the message I get is: ‘dism’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

It’s worth noting that the two methods use different authentication to the source media files when accessed remotely. For a locally attached disk or SXS copied locally, the two methods are roughly equivalent.

In the remote case:
Using dism.exe will access the files under your user credentials.
Using the wizard or install-windowsfeature cmdlet will access the source files under the machine$ account. This is similar to how hyper-V, for example, accesses VHDs on a remote shared storage.

Thanks for a great article.

Good Morning,

Remove update Security Update 2966827 and it will install just fine.Then reinstall the update.

The command line version worked for me, not the GUI. I had to burn a DVD and attach it to the virtual server before Install would find the files. Then NetFX3 installed. Strange that the GUI doesn’t let you browse to the alternate file location. THANK YOU for the solution!!!

Hi!
Had this problem on server 2012. Solution was to uninstall some Microsoft updates.
Credits go to:
http://www.askvg.com/fix-0x800f0906-and-0x800f081f-error-messages-while-installing-net-framework-3-5-in-windows-8/

The reason the install had failed in my setup was because WSUS was enabled on my servers. Once i disabled WSUS on my servers by deleting the keys in the registry all worked perfect.

Hi people,

I don’t have a installation CD but and ISO file of win server 2012. I copied this file to my desktop. When adding dotnet3.5 feature and need to specify path, I used the path c:\users\administrator\desktop\. Didn’t work for me. Been trying out many things a few days… Appreciate any help. Many thanks.

Cheers,
Boris

Thanks Shaun, “Remove update Security Update 2966827 and it will install just fine.Then reinstall the update.” Worked for me!

Removing security update 2966827 worked for me as well. Many thanks 🙂

Great it works!

Had to uninstall KB2966828

Note, the last number is 8 not 7

Great thanks Shawn!!!!!!!!!!!
Removing security update 2966827 all work fine!!!

Removing KB2966828 worked for me, thank you.

Had to remove the same KB. I wish I looked at the comments an hour ago though!! Thanks!

@Martin, Removing KB2966828 worked for me as well, thank you very much.

@Eddie – Had to uninstall KB2966828

Note, the last number is 8 not 7

—This worked for me – thank you!

What I find most people miss is that the INSTALL button is available. Most people see the warning and then see the NEXT button disabled and go looking for an answer. @NetoMeter points out the options (e.g. you have no or really slow Internet connection).

If you see this warning and have a half-way decent connection, just click Install and it will download what is required and install it for you.

Thanks for the article, managed to get our old Sage Accounts working on our new RDS server 2012 r2.

Its pretty annoying that the Server Manager/Add Features applet can’t go fetch the files it needs directly from the internet these days. You have to have DVD around, seriously? I understand leaving out optional components but this is just a bunch of makework. In a secure environment with no internet access, OK, I understand needing the DVD. It’s little things like this that drive us nuts.

Thanks for the instructions, though!

I removed KB2966826, KB2966827, KB2966828 and it worked for me.

Is there a way to simply get the dot.net 3.5 image and designate it as the source?

Thank you for the instructions

Great, its working and saved my lot of time.

Awesome. Worked for me. New install of a Server 2012 R2 instance for a VM on Stratus everRun. Not sure why it didn’t take on this install as it has worked before on other builds but, this one was not taking it until this work-around. Thanks again.

Dirk

Thanks for this Help.

But, we had removed the server from the domain before that procedure running correctly

Very relevant and to the point. I did not need to go back and specify the path after following these instructions as the feature was added. Thank you so much for this fix.

This is information is the best … thank you ..

the solution only work if connected to internet access

Good article … Thanks it saved my time to troubleshoot…

perfect. it is work corectly for me.
Thank for your article.

For 2 days , I tried every thing , even downloaded it from Microsoft , nothing had worked, your method worked so beautifully , thanks a lot , your are a champion
Joe

Many thanks Daniel. I had similar experience as Sam (March 15th) where nothing worked, even an offline installer. Tried your command line version and this worked a treat. Many hours of head scratching saved !!
Cheers, Alan.

Important!!! during the net 3.5 Installation the Server try to connect to Windows update Server. But if u put Server already into WSUS/OU where WSUS is configured by GPO: Server can not connect to Windows update Server anymore. you will get error message anyway. Solution: put Server to an OU where WSUS is not configured. make gpupdate /force or reboot afterwards. Now Server is aible to get latest net 3.5 files from Internet and Features install will walk through properly

@Jacques Lafalize – by the way. of course you will get same result if u remove Server from Domain. 😉 But it is not neccessary

Worked for me.
Thankyou

Thank you soooo much!
This saved not only my mind but truly made me look like a hero!!!

This really made my day.
thanks,

Awesome, thanx! This is what I needed to get 3.5 installed.

Brilliant – thanks!. We had an .iso of Server 2012 Open Licence which had worked before on many VM installs but failed on one machine. The tip to put d:\sources\sxs as an alternative source in the GUI resolved it.

Thanks a lot.This is what I needed to get 3.5 installed.

Thanks a lot, it worked fine for me.

Thank you, only solution that worked for me.

thank you very mush

Nice Find! Big help for me!

Thanks alot it worked fine.

Thanks so much. saved me a lot of time!

I´m not able locate my Windows Installation Disc. Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks a lot… this really works!!! 🙂

Just want to add one thing:- if you are not connected to Windows update Server, mount OS installation DVD, and specify the same drive in the path mentioned.

Thanks very much for this – exactly right.

Thanks! Really helpful. 🙂

thanks, Great Article, Worked like a Charm. Thanks for posting it.

thanks ,, Thanks a lot.This is what I needed to get 3.5 installed.

Rather than remove the server from the domain to get it to talk to Windows Update. just change the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU\UseWUServer to 0, restart the Windows Update service and then try to install it. After installation, change the key back to 1 and restart Windows Update service again.

Thanks bro, it’s help me a lot!!

thanks u’re amazing

You Rock! Thanks for the help!

Thanks. I am not a Windows guy but occasionally have to install Windows applications. Your blog fixed my issue quickly and effectively. I really appreciate the trouble you took to publish this.

Disabling your firewall solve this issues

Thank you! This initially failed but I tried again, this time capitalizing the D: for the path to opt drive and it worked. (don’t know why that mattered). This works on Server 2016 preview as well.

Really helpful article:) thanks

Awesome!!! I could not get this to work on my own, thanks for your help!!!

Yeah, it worked. Thanks a zillion times.

For those who have windows install media as ISO (image) file, the following works:
1. Right click on the ISO file and open with “Windows Explorer”.
2. Wait for few seconds to get the content on the explorer. You can see the following directories:
a. boot
b. efi
c. sources
d. support, other files.
3. Now, go to “sources”->”sxs”
4. In the address bar, copy the path and paste in the command given in step #1.
Ex: dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /all /Source: /LimitAccess

This worked for me.

Thanks

Hi Dude,

I want to install only .net framework 3.0, do not want install .net 2.0, so any option is there?

Thanks.

this is very helpful, saved me a lot of time thank you.

Hello…. Sir
I am form India. i have a lenovo server ST550. i am Installed Server OS 2016R2. now i want to installed on system .net 3.5 version for my ERP Softwre work.
how to Install install ??? or .net 3.5 ver Its install on 2016 or not install ???

Hi, thanks for help, i manage to resolve the issue.

Amazing
Bill

Thank you very much

Do the source files need to be pulled from the ISO that matches the Windows 10 version they are being installed on? For instance, I used source files from 1903 on a 1903 system, however when I tried on a different version of windows (1809 or 1803 I believe) the feature didn’t install.

Thanks!

For anyone in 2019 still dealing with this issue like I was and completely confused as to why the /sources/sxs path didn’t exist…

Initially I tried all 3 of the methods above and couldn’t get anything to work. Then I realized the path was actually coming from the OS installation .iso that I had since ejected from the VM. I re-mounted it, and sure enough, the ‘sources’ folder was right there in the D drive. I was able to specify the path as an alternate source in Server Manager, and now I’m good to go!

Just a quick update for people on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud.
I ran into this issue as well.

The only way to get this to work is to download the trial version of Windows Server 2019 from: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-server-2019

1 – Open the ISO extract the sxs folder, located \sources\sxs\
2 – Now you have that folder you can move that folder to each of your servers without the need to copy the full ISO to every server.
3 – when you install .NET3.5 make sure you select the location of that folder you copied over to on the server (Daniel has explained how to do that in this blog post)

Done.

Is this possible to install without the Windows CD/Install folder on the machine?

Work in a lab environment, some of the older instruments need 3.5 on Windows 10 PCs…

No matter how you do it, the source files are NEVER seen as valid on any windows image I’ve downloaded from them. Either mounting the ISO, putting them in c:\sxs or any other location. It always fails.

I am able to install .net 3.5 via DISM just fine, but I’m not getting the feature names for HTTP Activation and Non-HTTP Activation. We want those included so it’s automated. Using /all for netfx3 doesn’t add those other two features automatically.

Likewise. I’ve tried varying methods, different ISO’s and sources matching installed versions, etc. The only thing that seems to work is downloading them over the Internet, which can be slow and occasionally freeze up, at least IME.

AWS provides public snapshots of all of the Windows install media. in EC2 go to snapshots, switch from “Private Snapshots” to “Public Snapshots” and search for your OS, example “Server 2019” and pick your language. Create a volume in the same availability zone as your instance from the snapshot, attach it and match the drive letter up with the rest of this article.

I’ve never had success installing .NET Framework 3.5 from the windows feature install option and have been using the DISM method, but it wouldn’t work this time. Your information about the DISM method and needing the disc with the same version of windows 10 on it was the key to a successful install of .NET Framework 3.5 this time. Thanks so much for this article!

It’s September 2021, and I am still having to install .net 3.5 to the Windows 10 installation. It is as if Microsoft do not care which features of its’ OS customers are, or are not, still using.

Thanks for such a DETAILED explanation, dear Mr. Engberg! Nothing else on the Web worked for me. The KEY was YOUR information about the DISM method and requiring the disc with the SAME version of Windows 10 as installed on MY computer.

Invaluable explanation, great help to the team, Love it Thanks

Unfortunately the “offline installer” isn’t, and doesn’t work.
It simply starts an MS program that tries to download from Windows Update – no good if you’re on a corporate network that blocks all automated downloads.

There is a problem in the command line, this command is not working in “How to Install .NET 3.5 using DISM”

The command should be:

dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /all /Source:G:sources/sxs /LimitAccess

nice site thank you

Sadly the direct full version download link from MS no longer works, it immediately tries to connect to Windows Update – if I was able to connect to update I could just use the “add feature” option!
The reason I need an offline installer is that Update is blocked in my environment!
Stupid MS

Tried everything, then tried: https://windows-repair-toolbox.com/
Not affiliated.
It sent me to the troubleshooters and I ran the win update one.
Worked first time 😊

In any case we couldn’t to install even via Server Manager from file dotnetfx35.exe of signed by MS at Jul.03.2021 (Pic.1; Pic.2). After it on our Windows XP we’ve unpacked dotnetfx35.exe by WinRAR v.5.70 archivier to new folder. Then we’ve copied from DVDROMWS2019 a cab file to this folder, because we haven’t DVD drive on server. (Pic.3). Then this folder has been placed on the C:\ of server, and the path “C:\dotNetFramework35” has been inserted to the Server Manager. Only then already all ok. (Pic.4) Links on screenshots – Pic.1 – imageup.ru/img240/4011535/pic1.jpg Pic.2 – imageup.ru/img211/4011537/pic2.jpg Pic.3 – imageup.ru/img95/4011539/pic3.jpg Pic.4 – imageup.ru/img250/4011540/pic4.jpg

Surprised this has been up for over a year and you haven’t fixed your mistake:

dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /all /Source:d:sourcessxs /LimitAccess will not work.

dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /all /Source:d:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess is what you need to make it work.

Good and complete step by step explanation. And also thank for Kevin.
