    Would you please add .NET 3.5 SP1 too?

    Would this installer work in Windows Server 2012 R2?

    Theoretically yes, but not tested

    I have now tested the installer in Server 2012 R2; it worked faultlessly.

    May I humbly suggest that the text in posting #1 and the title of this thread are modified to reflect this finding?

    Thanks for verifying

    I can modify the post and internal title, but the main thread title will need a Mod to change it :biggrin:

    I usually enable net 3.5 through this command

    Dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /All /Source:L:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess (where L: is optical drive with win 8/8.1 dvd in it).

    I find the offline installer linked here more convenient but have not used it so far.
    Does this do the same thing as the above command. In that case, on fresh install I can first up install 3.5 in 8/8.1, and 4.5.1 in 8. Then apply other 3.5/4.5.1 updates.

    Can you please make a tool that makes this custom installation programs? So that you can pick the desired version out of a list, and it will build the installer for it?
    That would be really helpful.
    Because i need the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 installer for Windows 8.1, but i may also need all the other installers for the rest.

    I'll explain it further :p
    You have made the custom installer for .NET Framework 3.5 for Windows 8.1
    Can you make a tool that makes the custom installer for the .NET Framework you choose? So you can pick the .NET Frameworks you need and build a custom installer for it.
    Thanks in advance,
    Tim

    No
    3.5 and below are one Family, 4.x and above is a separate Family
    so you need/can install both

    in Windows 8.1, NET 4.5.1 is installed and ready
    whereas NET 3.5 is "Staged", meaning it's installed but disabled and payload (binaries files and lang resources) are removed from the system
    this payload is found in the ISO file in the folder sxs inside sources

    @abbodi1406

    Is your .NET Framework 3.5 Standalone Installer compatible to be used for the latest Windows 8.1 (with Spring Update) ISO?

    Sorry for digging up this thread up but I just reinstalled my Windows 8 after installing a new SSD and now I can't install Framework at all.
    I followed all your steps doing everything as administrator, installing through your smart-installers or doing everything manually through command line and I'm still getting the same error code:
    "Source files could not be found"
    View attachment 30312

    This is strange because I have an original windows 8 CD/DVD working and if not, then your smart-installers should have all the files anyway.
