In this instance, the Azure VM did not have Internet connectivity. Once connectivity was allowed, the installation worked normally. Without Internet, additional source files would have been required with a bit of fussing (there's documentation generally available for that.)

Hello

Thank you for your question and reaching out. I can understand you are having query\issues related to .net framework install on Windows server.

Disable any Antivirus program or Windows firewall you may have for temporary purpose.
Run sfc /scannow from elevated prompt.
Please mount original iso using which you have installed Windows server, then run below command to install it.

dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /all /Source:d:sourcessxs /LimitAccess

Note : Change the source to the ISO/Media
