    Hello, I'm new around here, I don't know if this post goes on this forum (sorry if it doesn't) but I have a more important question. I've made a Windows 8 AIO in which I included a WMC unlocked build but it can't be activated because no serials are found. I decided better than that to remove that image and include .net framework 3.5 preinstalled with windows in stead of enabling it from WU or using Dism.

    The problem is just that I don't know how to enable the feature in a .wim image. If anybody could give me a link to that I'd really appreciate it.

    Code:
    Dism /Image:C:\mount /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /All /Source:C:\ISO8\sources\sxs /LimitAccess
    C:\mount = mount location
    C:\ISO8\sources\sxs = location of sxs folder

    /All = Enable all parent features of the specified feature
    /LimitAccess = Prevent DISM from contacting Windows Update
    /Source = Specify the location of the files needed to restore the feature.
    /Image = Location of mounted image.

    Please note that you should do this before adding any language in your installation media if it was your plan, as doing it will prevent adding .NET 3.5 "offline".

    No, I just want to add the framework. The Language of my AIO is Spanish. Thanks a lot to both of you for enlightening me :) I'm deploying Enterprise x64 right now, so I'm finishing the job. Thanks again :)

    now I'm facing the problem that the iso exceeds the weight by 22 MB, so I'm forced to use a dvd9, now that the feature is preinstaled into de the win images I think that I can reduce the space by deleting the .net framework files for 3.5 in the sxs folder but exactly which files do I have to delete? Thanks a lot who can enlighten me.
