Message: <blockquote data-quote="EK_SheSH" data-source="post: 15860894" data-attributes="member: 491927">One of the prerequisites for a complete SQL Server 2012 installation is that the operating system has the <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21" target="_blank">.NET Framework 3.5</a>  installed.  As you might know, Windows 8 has the .NET Framework 4.5  built-in and you can optionally activate .NET Framework 3.5 using the  Windows Features panel (see the image below), but the problem is that  once you activate the .NET Framework 3.5 the computer will want to  access to Microsoft servers on the Internet to get the binaries. <a href="http://blogs.technet.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-92-37-metablogapi/2068.clip_5F00_image001_5F00_08F4281D.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://blogs.technet.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-92-37-metablogapi/7776.clip_5F00_image001_5F00_thumb_5F00_0007268F.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> But what do you do if you have no Internet connection? The solution emerges with the Windows 8 ISO and <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744256%28WS.10%29.aspx" target="_blank">DISM</a>. Have  a look below for a quick step-by-step guide on how to install  and activate the .NET Framework 3.5 without Internet access: <ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Create a folder on your system drive called NET35 (example: C:\NET35)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Mount your Windows 8 ISO file or DVD</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Copy the folder sources\sxs\ from the Windows 8 ISO into the newly created NET35 folder. I recommend using XCOPY for it, for example: xcopy G:\sources\sxs\*.* C:\NET35 /s [Ed: Note that this copies the contents of the SXS folder into C:\NET35, but not the folder itself]</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Once you copy all the files, you can now utilize DISM to enable the  .NET Framework 3.5 feature by entering the following command in an  elevated command prompt (Start, Type "CMD", press Ctrl+Shift+Enter or  right-click the Command Prompt item and choose Run as Administrator): DISM.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /All /Source:c:\net35 /LimitAccess [Ed:  Note the above is one line but may wrap in this blog depending on  formatting - if in doubt, it should be typed as in the screenshot  below.]</li> </ol>If everything runs smoothly you should now have the .NET Framework  3.5 installed without the computer needing access to the Internet. <a href="http://blogs.technet.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-92-37-metablogapi/3527.clip_5F00_image003_5F00_43B67DBB.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://blogs.technet.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-92-37-metablogapi/2068.clip_5F00_image003_5F00_thumb_5F00_29E2478C.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></blockquote>
