I notice that W8 doesn't have netframework 3.5 installed. But everytime i want to installed my downloaded offline netframework 3.5 SP1 it still required to connect Windows Update. And for now i have it installed after connecting windows update. My question is: is there a way to install netframework 3.5 sp1 without connecting to windows update? Because i use to install and reinstall windows and i don't want everytime after reinstall i have to connect and download windows update all over again. Thanks in advance.
Already Installed Netframework 3.5 is already installed on Windows 8. You have to turn it on through "Windows Features"
In build 8102, when you turn on through "Windows Features", you still need to connect to Windows Update, download and install it.
Excellent and very detailed instructions MSMG, I hope M$ do this better on their next build that we don't have to work so much just for that.
In WDP, hoover your mouse over to bottom-left, click search, type cmd, press Enter, right click cmd and run as administrator, type dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /Source:X:\sources\sxs (X=DVD drive letter) press Enter. When it finish, you are done.
