Windows applications developed in .NET Framework 3.5 or lower versions like 3.0 or 2.0 requires
relevant .NET Framework installed or enabled on Windows to run properly. Starting from Windows 8,
.NET 4.0 is already a part of the OS and do not require manual installation except the updates.

But if you want to run a software that is programmed in .NET 3.5 on Windows 10 or 8, you need to
install .NET 3.5 on the system. Without it, you can’t run the software. To enable or install .NET
Framework 3.5 on Windows 10 and 8 you need to install it from “Turn Windows features on or off
utility”. And this will ask you to install it by downloading – which requires internet connection.

If you are on a PC that is not connected to internet, or you have limited bandwidth, you may find
difficulties installing it that way. Fortunately .NET Framework 3.5 installation packages are included in
Windows 8 and 10 setups and you can use a DOS command in CMD console window to offline install
.NET 3.5 on your system. Presuming that your Windows 10/8 installation media is F:, following is the
CMD command you need to use to install.NET Framework 3.5 without internet connection:

Dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /source:F:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess

This is a manual method and you may make mistakes while typing this on console. That’s why I made a
simple portable tool named .NET Framework 3.5 Offline Installer that can automatically install .NET
3.5 from your existing Windows 10/8 installation media for you. This makes use of the the above
command I showed.

How to Use .NET Framework 3.5 Offline Installer

1. Insert the Windows installation DVD (or if have the ISO file, right-click on it and Mount). Now
checkout the Drive letter.

2. Run .NET Framework 3.5 Offline Installer.

3. Under Easy Install tab, chose the drive from media selection drop-down menu. If the program finds
the source, it would say, “Found”. Click on Install button then
4. A CMD console window will run to show you the progress.

5. Once the installation is done, it should automatically close and show you a success message.
6. That’s it.

Advanced Options
I’ve made an Advanced Install tab which you can use to debug or control the commands. But most
users should use the Easy Install tab.

You can leave me comments if you encounter any problem with the tool.

I got Windows 10 when it was free and don't have installation media so I need to download these
files. Where can I get them? (I already downloaded the "Full Package" executable, which doesn't work
on Windows 10.)

Hi there,

I have tried EVERYTHING. I've tried your program. I've tried different ISOs. I've tried changing my
group policy and gpupdate /force after that.
No matter what I do, I always get the 0x800f081f error.
"...source files could not be found."

Please help me if you have any ideas.

I have Windows 10.

Thank you in advance.

I did everything as it was said and at the end it also said .net should be installed o your system.
but when I went to run the programme which required the .net framework, it says your pc needs the
foolowing feature showing .net framework 3.5 ! it sucks..
