Win8 - Offline installation of .Net Framework 3.x

i tried , it says... Microsoft Windows [Version 6.2.9200] (c) 2012 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Windows\system32>Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFx3 /All /Sourc e:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess
Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 6.2.9200.16384
Image Version: 6.2.9200.16384
Enabling feature(s) [===========================65.8%====== ]
Error: 0x800f081f
The source files could not be found. Use the "Source" option to specify the location of the files that are required t o restore the feature. For more information on specifying a source location,.
The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log
C:\Windows\system32>... help me

 

Code:

dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /Source:X:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess

where X:\ is the Path to your Windows 8 files, CD, Mounted ISO or extracted to a folder.. whatever

 

awesome! I hated to install .net 3.5 online just to connect my xbox 360 controller when installing the driver
just a question? I did your suggestion with 8's files in a pen drive and it went too fast like 2 seconds to 100%, is it that fast?
cheers.

 

Fast or not, did it work ? That's essential

 

i can confirm it works, but not permanently on new installs, I need to do the dism thing
everytime I install W8 and adding .net 3.5 with turn windows features on or off or through
directx setup, or games for windows live to name some apps that need 3.5 and trigger the installer

anyway offline is way better than online, takes forever to get big files with this connection (3Mbit) and the default online installer, just like directx's web installer

gta iv made me learn this

 

I don't know about directx... but for sure turning on feature in of netfx 3.5 in install.wim will avoid this installation on every reinstall of win 8

yep I did that itself work like charm... and if trying to install from the offline package it says that to run this application u require netfx 3.5... and asks if the user wants to turn that feature on

 

Is there a way to do this by downloading the needed files. I have an all in one batch script for manipulating the wims and it would be better if i didn't need the sxs folder. I just have the needed wims where i need them and i don't want to have to bother with the other files in the sources directory.

Instead of
Dism /image:%mount% /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /Source:\sources\sxs /LimitAcces

something like

Dism /image:%mount% /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /ALL
to force it to get the needed files online.

This is what i have so far. I would also love to know if there is a way to run this and have it repeat the script but have it do it to the next index automatically without having to repeat all the code for every index. I currently run it fro an autoit exe that writes the new index to the bat and repeats the script.

Code:

@echo off
set mount=%~dp0MOUNT
md %mount%
set "details=%TEMP%\detail.log"
set "indexlog=%TEMP%\index.log"
set imagex=%TEMP%\imagex.exe
set index=1
set "WimSource=%~dp0sources\install.wim"

:START
Dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:%mount% /discard
Dism /get-wiminfo /wimfile:%WimSource% > %indexlog%
Dism /get-wiminfo /wimfile:%WimSource% /index:%index% > %details%
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set "cmd=findstr /R /N "^^" %indexlog% | find /C "Index""
for /f %%a in ('!cmd!') do set indexs=%%a

if exist %details% (
  FOR /F "tokens=* skip=2 usebackq" %%a IN (`FIND "Architecture" %details%`) DO (
  set str=%%a
  for /f "tokens=2 delims=: " %%b in ('echo !str!') do (
  set arch=%%b
  )) 
)

if exist %details% (
  FOR /F "tokens=* skip=2 usebackq" %%a IN (`FIND "Edition" %details%`) DO (
  set str=%%a
  for /f "tokens=2 delims=: " %%c in ('echo !str!') do (
  set Edition=%%c
  )) 
)

if exist %details% (
  FOR /F "tokens=* skip=2 usebackq" %%a IN (`FIND "Version" %details%`) DO (
  set str=%%a
  for /f "tokens=2 delims=: " %%d in ('echo !str!') do (
  set Version=%%d
  )) 
)

echo %VERSION% | find "6.2" > nul
if %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 goto :WIN8

echo %VERSION% | find "6.1" > nul
if %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 goto :WIN7

rem cls

I did this in 32bit version of windows 8 over and over again and it worked but not with the 64bit version of windows 8
can you help?
thanks.
EDIT: works now thanks for all..

 

this worked with 32bit version only not 64bit
EDIT: works now thanks for all..

 

Muito bom eu vou testar.... um momento...
Very good .... I'll test a moment.

 

cmds:

Dism /mount-wim /wimfile:X:\sources\install.wim /index:1 /mountdir:C:\mount

Dism.exe /Image:C:\mount /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /Source:X:\sources\sxs

Dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:C:\mount /commit

Adjust drive letters X: accordingly

Thanks @mictlan.

 

Seriously? Scroll a bit guys.

Welcome to 2 Months ago.

 

Does not work, get error message Maybe someone can make a simple automatic script for this? And the description of the folder placement.

 

Copy this code into notepad and save as Netfx3.cmd, you will need to replace the X with the drive letter of your dvd drive that has the windows 8 installtion disc in it...

Code:

CD C:\Program Files\Windows Kits\8.0\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Deployment Tools
DISM /Mount-Wim /WimFile:C:\WMC\install.wim /index:1 /MountDir:C:\WMC\mount
Dism /image:C:\wmc\mount /enable-Feature /Featurename:NetFx3 /all /Source:K:\sources\sxs
Dism /unmount-WIM /MountDir:C:\WMC\mount /Commit


pause

Create a folder "c:\WMC" - copy the Netfx3.cmd file into it and then copy install.wim into the same folder.
Create another folder called "mount" within the c:\WMC folder. You should have this

c:\WMC
Install.wim
NetFx3.cmd
Mount

Next run your Netfx.cmd (ran as administrator) and it will do it for you...

 

Thanks it worked. Is much easier with such auto complete script with explanation of folder placement like this. Any such automatic script is gold worthy and should have been collected in a place where it is easy to understand for those who are not good with typing command in cmd, like me

 

Thank you so much Moderate for your info.
I installed dism, sdk adk etc and ran the code you posted and i now have win8 x86 pro and win8x64 pro both with dotnetfx35 pre installed when i do a fresh install.
works perfectly, much appreciated, i just hated the "windows must download files etc" everytime i installed software lol

 

thnx "NICK" man it wrkd 4 me u r f**king awsum
