How To Fix DOT NET 3.5 Error In Windows 8

Windows 8 is the most popular operating system these days and it got a lot of positive feedback. But I noticed that while installing some games and other applications like Visual Studio 2008, it asked to install windows feature - .Net Framework 3.5 (includes .Net 2.0 and 3.0)

When I tried to install it online, it failed. If you are also facing this problem, then I have the solution for this problem. Using this trick, you can easily fix this problem and install your applications easily.

Follow the instructions:

1. Open Control Panel > Programs and Features and then click Turn Windows Features On or Off.
Now Windows Features dialog box will appear. Select .Net Framework 3.5 (includes .Net 2.0 and 3.0) and click OK button.

2. Now your computer will start downloading the required files from the internet and after that, the problem should be fixed.
3. If you are still facing the same problem, then open command prompt and type the following code (Windows 8 installation disk must be inserted in the optical drive of your computer):

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

4. In the above command, X: is the drive letter where Windows 8 installation disk is inserted. You must change the drive letter according to your computer.
5. Now press enter and a process will start which will take a few minutes to complete.

6. After completion of the command process, you can see that .Net Framework 3.5 (includes .Net 2.0 and 3.0) feature is enabled.

7. Now you can install your application without any error.
