  • Run the DISM command to enable .NET 3.5 from the installation source:

    DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /LimitAccess /Source:D:\sources\sxs
    
  • Wait for completion. You should see a success message when the feature is enabled.

  • Verify installation:

  • The installation will progress slowly from 1% to 100%. Do not close the window. It takes roughly 3–5 minutes on an SSD.

    Cause: You typed the wrong path or the sxs folder is missing. Solution: Verify the sxs folder exists on your mounted ISO. It should contain files like netfx3.cab.

    If you double-click dotnetfx35.exe without switches, it will still ask for online download. Ignore that – use DISM or the command-line trick instead.
