Before we go further – First, either insert your windows 8 DVD or mount windows 8 iso image or your recovery folder. Have you done that?
Now, let’s see if the “sxs” folder is present in our CD by going to your drive where your windows 8 disk is (Drive E) and click to explore it.
In the explore folder, click “Sources” and check if you’ll see the “sxs” folder… is it there? See image below to know what exactly i am talking about
Now let’s go to the main show…
With “administrative privilege”, open your “cmd” Program… are you there? If not, click on your search box to take you there.
Now, type the below command…
Dism.exe/online/enable-feature/featurename:NetFX3/All/Source:E:sourcessxs/LimitAccess
Have you typed the above command? Now hit the Enter key.
Wait… wait… wait… and voila! You have successfully installed your .Net Framework. Now you can see it in your windows feature that it is active. See the activation image below.
