Windows 8 .NET Framework Fix

How to fix missing .Net Framework from Windows 8.

Step 1: dism /online /get-features

Result: Feature Name: NetFx3
State : Disabled with Payload Removed

Step 2: xcopy d:\sxs\*.* c:\sxs /s

Alternate - go to your DVD drive, USB or .ISO file with your copy of Windows 8 and copy the 'sxs' folder to your computer.

Step 3: dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFx3 /All /SourceC:\sxs /LimitAccess

result: this will install the Framework from your sxs file.

@bazilione: The file can be found on your windows 8 cd, it can also be found on the .iso file for Windows 8 if you have that. If you do not have either you can google search windows 8 .iso and should be able to find a copy of the consumer beta released. The .NET Framework information can be accessed from that .iso, using the command prompt method in the video. Let me know if you are still having issues.

i need some help i had my .iso on my computer and when i installed windows 8 i installed it and wiped all my files... so i no longer have an sxs file on my computer.. how can i sort this problem out ? please help

I got an Error : 87 The sourcec option is not recognized in this context. For more information, refer to the help. The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log

Mine is just disabled, Payload Removed is not showed.
Probably, that's why at the end of installation command I get this Error 2  System cannot find the specified file.

Please help!

I got error 87 but I still do not have net framework installed.

[mwojable]

hey dkraciun, I did everything you said, and at the end it says error 87, but when I check it still says disabled with payload removed, can you plz help?

c:\sxs\*.* c:\sxs /s is NOT a location. And I only have the c drive . . . Is it because windows already came installed on my computer?

[chhorthongkeo]

Excuse me, sir!
Could you tell me? when i run cmd as administration to review my .NET Framework 3.5. I also see the problem with it.
Feature: NetFx3
State: Disable with Payload Removed
So, how can i fix it?

[abrahamdiaz]

thx bra it really means a lot  was trying to open a program and it said that stupid error but now it fixed

[osamaradwan]

Hey man....the error 87 that happened with u in the end of the video is happening with me can i fix it??

[zachzimmerman]

Im using my personal computer, and its telling me that i need elevated permissions to do step 1, and giving me error: 740

[MkeMan]

i think step 3 should be:

dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFx3 /All /Source:C:\sxs /LimitAccess

[Sjofetim]

so I had to come back to try step 3, because 1 and 2 did not work, giving me Error 87. Following step 3 also gave the same Error. It says: enable-feature option is unknown.and I need to refer to help by running DISM.exe

In short, this video did not help me fixing Error 1935 with .NET Framework. I am glad it helps for others...

Got this error constantly and then also got an error 87, called microsoft and they want me to pay 60 dollars to fix it. So stupid. 

[DannyLDorito]

you can try to DL the actual file from the internet. Google the file name.Good Luck.

Step 3: dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFx3 /All /Source:C:\sxs /LimitAccess

[podunavac]

/Source:C:\sxs is valid one,  not SourceC, thats why you get location error! 

Also check out this important note on microsoft support site:
"Installing a Windows language pack before installing the .NET Framework 3.5 will cause the .NET Framework 3.5 installation to fail. Install the .NET Framework 3.5 before installing any Windows language packs."
