Windows 10: Net Framework 3.5 searching for required files problem

So im having a problem installing Net framework 3.5 it shows searching for required files and nothing else, if i try DISM method it just stays stuck on windows version. any help?

:)

 

how to reinstall framework .net in windows 10

I enable the framework 4.6 in th program&features but there's another problem about >NET framework 3.5. It's just stuck downloading required files. The reason i diable this to it's becuase of another program

crushing and i search then says uninstall NET. framework 4.5 but i can't see that but then i see .NET framework 3.5 i disable it then when i able it it's just stuck dowloading req files.

 

unexpected error occurred while troubleshooting

Upgraded to 1607 but unable to get .Net framework 3.5 windows update as it is required , when tried to install .Net 3.5 framework.

Why windows update is required for installing .Net framework 3.5?

 

Go to Start/Search and type appwiz.cpl and press enter. Click on Turn Windows Features On or Off. Put a check box in .Net Framework 3.5

 

I've tried that, it shows the "Searching for required files" and nothing else happens,

 

Run CMD as admin and copy/paste:

 

Ims sorry i have nothing to add to this conversation but I made this account just so I can thank you TairikuOkami so much for this fix. I have been trying for days to fix this problem and this finally worked and I can use new programs again. Thank you again.

 

This is the thing that worked. I was trying to find a solution for so long.

God Bless You! *Smile

 

When I do this I get a progress bar that just gets stuck, same as the GUI version does.

If you are running into the same problem, here is another solution. It requires you to have a Windows 10 installation USB stick (DVD might work as well). Plug it it and run the command posted by TairikuOkami, but replace the last line with:
Code: ​Dism /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /Source:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess[/quote] where D: is the drive letter of the Windows 10 installation USB stick/DVD.

This command will install NetFx3 from the local file on the USB stick/DVD (microsoft-windows-netfx3-ondemand-package.cab) instead of attempting to download it and getting stuck.

Tairiku,

I am having a similar problem activating .net Framework 3.5 as a result of my Source files missing. I was hoping by using your command above i might have an easier time repairing this than i have had with Microsoft's suggestion but when I ran it nothing changed and this is what happened in the elevated command window:

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17040.1000]

C:\Windows\system32>taskkill /im TiWorker.exe /f

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3521.


C:\Windows\system32>rmdir "%systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution\Download" /s /q

C:\Windows\system32>​Dism /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All
'​Dism' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

C:\Windows\system32>

I really could use some thorough guidance with using DISM to correct this problem. I don't even understand where the Sources file exists in order to verify it is missing!

I do have the Insiders build 17040 that I am currently running made into a bootable installation usb stick that I created with UUP2ISO but I no longer have the ISO that was created. Can this be used in place of the Windows Installation disk that is required to be pointed to in the DISM command?

Please let me know when you can...

Thanks,

Try post #7 suggestion.

 

cereberus,

This looks like the suggestion I read on Microsoft.com although the process seems much less daunting posted the way it is here as opposed to how it was posted there. Hmmm.

I will try this and post my result later today.

Thanks!

I pasted the command with the last line replaced as instructed with the Drive letter changed to E where my usb stick is and as soon as I pasted I was very quickly looking at a CleanManager window which I checked all but one line to delete and hit Enter. I got the above message back immediately with no netfx3 installation being completed.

Now what?
