Hi,

I have a windows 10 computer that I can't connect to the web, and I need to install .net framework 3.5 on it. Where can I find offline installer package that doesn't need internet connection?

I tried to install with DISM and windows installation disk, as described here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/deploy-net-framework-35-by-using-deployment-image-servicing-and-management--dism?view=windows-11 

but DISM failed to find the required files, even though the files were there.

Is there another way?

Thanks

    Hi Avraham_Tz,

    I'm Ramesh, here to answer your query at the Microsoft Community.

    From another computer, download the Windows 10 ISO using the Media Creation Tool.

    Transfer the ISO to the subject computer where you want to install .NET Framework 3.5 offline.

    Right-click on the ISO and choose "Mount". The ISO will be assigned a drive letter.

    Suppose the ISO drive letter is E:\

    Run the following command from an admin Command Prompt to install .NET Framework 3.5:

    DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /LimitAccess /Source:E:\sources\sxs

    Hello. You may still need an internet connection, I have not tried to install it offline but you can try it and let me know if it installed offline. Press Win+R optionalfeatures.exe then choose the net 3.5 box then restart the PC when/if asked.

    Thanks, but I already tried that, and the computer tried to download the feature from windows update.
