.net framework 3.5 Installing .NET Framework 3.5 on Server 2012 R2

[Shammikit]

i have already done a google search on this and the only solution i found was to use the installation disk and set its path as the installation files but i dont have the installation disk or an ISO. isnt it possible to download just .net 3.5 installation files from Microsoft site like in windows 10?

err, you can install .net in server features in the server dashboard?

 

Just click Manage on the top of the Server Dashboard

Add Roles and Features

Keep pressing next until you get to the list of features.

and .net is at the top.

 

That is unless I'm not understanding your question correctly?

That's really odd.

 

Well, you can get a ISO file from here:

Scroll down to the blue download list and you'll see Windows Server 2012 R2 ISO for download.

i did try that and the image below shows the error i got. the solutions i found on the internet says specify alternate source path to ISO of server 2012 or installation disk. i got none of those.is there a way to download only .NET framework 3.5 and install it without going to download the entire OS installation again just to install .NET

Try turning Windows Firewall off and try to install may be that will work...

If still not open CMD as Administrator

Type Command "powershell"

Then in powershell cmd type

"Install-WindowsFeature Net-Framework-Core -source \\network\share\sxs"

Then type Command

"Get-WindowsFeature"
