Can't install .Net Framework 3.5

[graF]

Hey guys,

 

So recently I reinstalled Windows 10 on my pc. For some programs, I'm required to install .NET Framework 3.5, but I don't seem to succeed. I've tried quite a few solutions, but none of them seem to work.

There was a solution that worked for many, which includes mounting Windows ISO and running a command in CMD: "DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /LimitAccess /Source:d:\sources\sxs", but for me it just hangs

Quote

C:\WINDOWS\system32>DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /LimitAccess /Source:d:\sources\sxs

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.10586.0

Image Version: 10.0.10586.0

and that's it.

Any suggestions?

When I try to run this, it tells me that I need .NET Framework 3.5 to run this. If I try to install it from there, it just keeps searching for hours

It tells you to install .NET Framework to install .NET Framework? I think windows is being more like windon't again.

Yeah, it just gives me the same window as when I try to run a program, that requires .NET Framework 3.5. When I press "Download and install this feature" it just keeps searching and searching without doing anything else

Try a newer version. IIRC they all are built on the previous.

It says that Win10 comes with .NET 4 and 4.5

You should be able to install it from the "Turn on Windows Features" menu In Programs and Features.

I don't remember if .Net Framework 3.5 is enabled by default on Windows 10. It may be disabled by default, just go double check.

Note: You can't run the .Net Framework updater on Windows 10 since that was originally made for Windows 8 and lower.

Thanks, I've tried this before, but it just kept searching for files. Just tried it, and now it works! Thanks
