You can use the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) command-line tool to create a modified image to deploy .NET Framework 3.5.

Important

The source files could not be found. Use the 'Source' option to specify the location of the files that are required to restore the feature. For more information on specifying a source location, see Configure a Windows Repair Source. The DISM log file can be found at C: WINDOWS Logs DISM dism.log'. The DISM error 0x800f0906: Source files could not be downloaded, occurred on a Windows 10 based computer after running the 'DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth' command. I have a Lenovo W530 laptop, that started with Windows 7 Pro, then got upgraded to Windows 8, then 8.1, and now 10 Pro. I have the factory setup disks for only 7 and 8. I ran DISM and it says the source files could not be found.

For images that will support more than one language, you must add .NET Framework 3.5 binaries before adding any language packs. This order ensures that .NET Framework 3.5 language resources are installed correctly in the reference image and available to users and applications.

Using DISM with Internet connectivity

Requirements

  • Internet connection
  • Access to Windows Update. If the PC or server is behind a firewall or uses a proxy server, see KB900935 - How the Windows Update client determines which proxy server to use to connect to the Windows Update Web site.
  • Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, or the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) tools.
  • Installation media
  • Administrator user rights. The current user must be a member of the local Administrators group to add or remove Windows features.

For an online reference image that can access Windows Update

  1. Open a command prompt with administrator user rights (Run as Administrator) in Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012.
  2. To Install .NET Framework 3.5 feature files from Windows Update, use the following command:

    Use /All to enable all parent features of the specified feature. For more information on DISM arguments, see Enable or Disable Windows Features Using DISM.

  3. On Windows 8 PCs, after installation .NET Framework 3.5 is displayed as enabled in Turn Windows features on or off in Control Panel. For Windows Server 2012 systems, feature installation state can be viewed in Server Manager.

For an offline reference image

Files
  1. Run the following DISM command (image mounted to the c:testoffline folder and the installation media in the D:drive) to install .NET 3.5:

    Use /All to enable all parent features of the specified feature.

    Use /LimitAccess to prevent DISM from contacting Windows Update/WSUS.

    Use /Source to specify the location of the files that are needed to restore the feature.

    To use DISM from an installation of the Windows ADK, locate the Windows ADK servicing folder and navigate to this directory. By default, DISM is installed at C:Program Files (x86)Windows Kits8.0Assessment and Deployment KitDeployment Tools. You can install DISM and other deployment and imaging tools, such as Windows System Image Manager (Windows SIM), on another supported operating system from the Windows ADK. For information about DISM-supported platforms, see DISM Supported Platforms.

  2. Run the following command to look up the status of .NET Framework 3.5 (offline image mounted to c:testoffline):

    A status of Enable Pending indicates that the image must be brought online to complete the installation.

Using DISM with no Internet connectivity

You can use DISM to add .NET Framework 3.5 and provide access to the sourcesSxS folder on the installation media to an installation of Windows that is not connected to the Internet.

Warning

If you're not relying on Windows Update as the source for installing the .NET Framework 3.5, make sure to use sources from the same corresponding Windows operating system version. Using a source path that doesn't correspond to the same version of Windows won't prevent a mismatched version of .NET Framework 3.5 from being installed. This can cause the system to be in an unsupported and unserviceable state.
