Unable to install .Net 3.5 on a new Windows 10 install

JaredBusch

I have a clean Windows 10 rev 1511 install from the upgrade ISO
Did Windows Updates
Installed Office 2013
Joined to Domain

Now I want to install the .Net 3.5/2.0 framework for an application that requires it.

Typically you do this from here. Windows simply goes and downloads it and you move on.
0_1464389070398_upload-95124ae0-6d97-4725-bdb1-88905849e507

When that fails (typically due to WSUS), you can install with DISM and your install media.

Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /All /Source:D:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess

My media is in D:\x64\sources\sxs
0_1464390095866_upload-17ed96a7-f70c-45bc-9986-c0ada34deff5

But I get a fail even with local media (tried 3 different ISO files).

I had similar issues, turned out W10 had it installed already. Try your install without it.

I shouldn't be working right now, good grief

dism sxs fails? That's ugly...

Have you seen this (blocking GPO)? http://superuser.com/questions/946988/cant-install-net-3-5-on-windows-10#comment1449644_947660

Edit: Won't help I think. GPO is about loading additional dependencies directly from Windows Update. Shouldn't relate to offline sxs.

That GPO would make sure that MS servers were contacted. I set it anyway. no difference online or media.

@JaredBusch yeah, sorry, realized it the second after hitting "submit".

Still not able to install? Any errors in the event log?

Not worth the time to figure out anymore. Told Windows to reset. Do not have physical access right now.

Windows reset completed, enabled .Net 35 first, worked perfectly.

Up yours Microsoft.

I'm pretty sure when I had this issue, sfc /scannow did the trick.
It was a while ago though...

That GPO Never seems to work..

@jaredbusch, 1803 fresh install doing the same thing, fresh iso downloaded via latest Media Creation Tool for the source location.
Tried numerous options including an installer program, a command line to install a specified package, and copying the sxs folder locally instead of mounted iso.

nadnerB's suggestion to run sfc didn't do anything, but runnings DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth appears to have done the trick. Net 3.5 finally installed successfully and didn't require a reset and repeat of 3 hours' setup.

I wonder if you could grab the cab file without needing to get it from the iso

https://github.com/Microsoft/dotnet-framework-docker/blob/master/3.5/runtime/windowsservercore-ltsc2016/Dockerfile

the download URI used in the script does seem to be specific to ltsc2016, but I wonder if that matters
