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. There is ...DLoad it on another PC and run it...it's a standolone installation.
If it doesn't work yer doin something wrong...Here is a link to the download ( 231MB )

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=25150I'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. Did you try his last SUGGESTION ? ?
Yes, but im trying to find a solution that doesn't require windows update or installation media.

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

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)...
