How to Install Microsoft .NET
Framework 3.5 Offline in Windows 8
and 8.1 without Internet Connection?
1. First you'll need to copy Windows 8 setup files to your hard disk. If you
have Windows 8 setup ISO copied in
your system, you can mount it by
right-click on it and select "Mount"
option or you can extract its content
using 7-Zip. 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 /enable-feature /
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.
