    .net 3.5 on windows 10
    « on: November 22, 2019, 10:56:31 AM »
    How can you install .net 3.5 without internet connection or windows installation media. why is there not a full install package from Microsoft that doesn't use windows update to install the framework.

    I'd guess OP is familiar with the installers. Their problem is because those installers *do not work* on Windows 10. This is because .NET 3.5 is now a component of windows itself.

    If you run that standalone installer on Windows 10, you just get this dialog:



    You can either download and install it via Windows Update- or not install it at all.

    The only other option is to add it via Windows Features (Turn Windows features on or off) Which also requires either Windows Update, or some form of WIndows 10 installation media matching the installed version of Windows.

      BC_PROGRAMMER is correct. Hence my delima. I have not been able to find a offline installer package that does not require internet connection or using the dism command and pointing at the installation media.

        Ways to install .net 3.5 on windows 10:
        1. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/install/dotnet-35-windows-10
        2. https://www.dragonblogger.com/install-net-framework-3-5-windows-10-offline/

        Seems like you're trying to avoid the ONLY WAYS POSSIBLE to install .net 3.5
        (I'm not finding a fully offline installer that requires neither internet, windows update or use of DISM/install media either, if there is one, and I would've thought if one existed, it would be much easier to obtain and seems like many Microsoft Answers queries exist but only points to those two ways anyhow)...

          Why are you avoiding the update process ? ?...just curious.

          I am in a corporate environment where i just stared and did not have the resources. I ended up getting the .NET cab files form another organization and running the DISM command pointing to them on the desktop. I continued this post however out of curiosity and hopefully to help someone else. Unfortunately it looks like what i originally wanted is not possible.

          It looks like you are correct
