Microsoft Windows 8/8.1 comes with the .NET 4 but it doesn't include .NET 3.5(include .NET 2.0 and 3.0). But if you have upgraded your windows 7 into 8 then you will get .NET Framework 3.5 fully enabled. To check that .NET Framework 3.5 is enabled in your computer, follow the below steps:

Step 1: Open Control Panel and click on Uninstall or change a program.













Step 2: Click on Turn windows features on or off



As you can  see that .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0) feature is disabled. You can enable the feature using the following two methods.

Installing .NET 3.5 online

If you see the following error while installing or running a software that means that software requires .NET 3.5. So, if you have an internet connection then you can simply click on Install this feature and install the feature from the internet.


You can also enable this feature by opening Turn Windows features on or off and then click on .NET Framework 3.5 (include .NET 2.0 and 3.0) and select it and click OK. After this step, it will download the entire package from internet and install the .NET Framework 3.5 feature.

Installing .NET 3.5 offline

You can still install .NET 3.5 if you don't have an internet connection in your PC. All you need is your Windows installation CD/DVD or iso image. Follow the steps to install .NET 3.5 offline:

Step 1: Insert your Windows CD/DVD or mount the iso image. The source of the feature can be found in folder H:\sources\sxs (In this case H: is the drive where i have loaded Windows Media).













Step 2: Open cmd.exe as an administrator and type: 
Dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /All /Source:E:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess and hit Enter.
















After completing you will see the installation 100% completed. If you face any error during the installation then check your code written in cmd and try it again.
















Now, just open the Windows Features and see that the feature is now enabled.
