Offline install of .Net Framework 3.5 using DISM

Apr 1, 2020·Dustin

I’ve come across this issue several times where an application depends on .Net Framework 3.5. For some, this can either take a lot of time or fail completely for some odd reason. Here is how to manually install .Net Framework using DISM and a Windows 10 image.

  1. Insert your Windows 10 DVD/USB or mount your Windows 10 ISO image.
  2. At an elevated (Run as Administrator) command prompt, type the following command (substituting d: as your DVD/image location):
Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /All /Source:D:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess

This should start the install of the feature and you will get a notice saying that it has been successfully installed. From there, you can attempt the installation of the software with the .Net 3.5 dependency.
