Nowadays almost all 3rd party software require

Microsoft .NET Framework installed in your system. The
required .NET Framework version might be different for
different software and the most required .NET
Framework version is 3.5 which comes preinstalled in
Windows 7.

If you are using Windows 8, you might face a problem

while trying to run a program which requires .NET
Framework 3.5 version. Windows 8 doesn't come with
.NET Framework 3.5 version. It comes with the latest .NET Latest Articles
Framework 4.5 version preinstalled.

There are 2 buttons given to install the .NET Framework

version or to skip the installation. If you decide to install
it, Windows tries to connect to Internet to download the
setup files of .NET Framework 3.5.

That's strange because Windows 8 setup contains .NET

Framework 3.5 setup files but still Windows tries to
connect to Internet. It would have been better and easier
if Windows 8 installed the .NET Framework 3.5 without
Internet connection just like it does for other Windows
components such as Media Center, Internet Explorer, etc
which can be installed or uninstalled using "Programs
and Features" applet in Control Panel.

If you don't have an Internet connection or if you don't

want to waste time and bandwidth in downloading the
setup files, here is a way to install .NET Framework 3.5
offline in Windows 8.

Today in this tutorial, we'll tell you how to install .NET

Framework 3.5 in Windows 8 without any need of
Internet connection. You can install it offline with the
help of a single command. This method requires
Windows 8 setup disc or ISO file so make sure you have
Windows 8 setup files with you.

So without wasting time lets start the tutorial:

1. First you'll need to copy Windows 8 setup files to your

hard disk. If you have Windows 8 setup ISO copied in
http://www.askvg.com/howtoinstallmicrosoftnetframework35offlineinwindows8withoutinternetconnection/ 2/8
10/21/2015 HowtoInstallMicrosoft.NETFramework3.5OfflineinWindows8andLaterwithoutInternetConnection?AskVG

your system, you can mount it by rightclick on it and

select "Mount" option or you can extract its content
using 7Zip.

If you have Windows 8 setup disc and don't want to copy

its content, its ok. Just insert the disc in your CD/DVD
drive so that Windows can access its content.

2. Now open Command Prompt as Administrator as

mentioned here and then provide following command:

Dism /online /enablefeature /featurename:NetFx3

/All /Source:F:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess

Here "F:" represents the CD/DVD drive letter in your

system which contains Windows 8 setup disc. Replace it
with the correct drive letter according to your system.

If you extracted Windows 8 setup files in a directory,

replace F:\sources\sxs with the correct path.

3. As soon as you execute the above mentioned

command, Windows will start installing .NET Framework
3.5 in your system and it'll not require Internet
connection.

It'll take a few minutes and you'll get a message that the
operation completed successfully.

4. That's it. Now you have installed .NET Framework 3.5

in Windows 8 without using Internet connection.

PS: If you face any problem while using this method, you
