.NET Framework is a software framework used by many Windows applications. Some programs developed on a specific version of Visual Studio require a particular version of the .NET Framework.\u00a0Many companies develop their apps to run using the .NET Framework, and these apps target a specific version. If you see this pop-up, you’re trying to run an application that requires the .NET Framework version 3.5, but that version is not installed on your system.<\/p>\n

\".net<\/p>\n

Clicking Install this feature will install .NET Framework 3.5 via Windows Update. Alternatively, you can enable the .NET Framework 3.5 through the Windows Control Panel. This option requires an Internet connection.<\/p>\n

Install .NET Framework 3.5 Using Windows Features<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Right-click Start, click Run. Type OptionalFeatures.exe<\/code>, and press Enter.<\/li>\n
  2. In the “Turn Windows features on or off” dialog box that appears, select the .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0) check box.
    \n\"enable<\/li>\n
  3. Select OK, and reboot your computer if prompted.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You don’t need to select the sub-items “Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) HTTP Activation” and “Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) Non-HTTP Activation” unless you’re a developer or server administrator who requires this functionality.<\/em><\/p>\n

    Install .NET Framework 3.5 Using DISM<\/h2>\n

    You use the following DISM command to install .NET Framework.<\/p>\n

    dism \/online \/enable-feature \/featurename:NetFX3<\/pre>\n
    The above command installs Install .NET Framework 3.5 feature files from Windows Update.<\/p>\n
    \nOn some systems, the .NET Framework 3.5 installation error 0x800f0950<\/code>, 0x800F0906<\/code>, 0x800F081F<\/code> or 0x800F0907<\/code> may occur.\u00a0If Windows Update is not functioning correctly on your system or WU is blocked, the following error may occur.<\/p>\n
    \".net<\/p>\n
    Error: 0x800f0950\n\nDISM failed. No operation was performed.<\/pre>\n
    Here is another error message:<\/p>\n
    The following feature couldn't be installed:\n\n.NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)\nError code: 0x800F081F\n<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
    RESOLUTION: Windows 10\/11 Setup media as the source (DISM)<\/h2>\n
    If the above DISM command fails with the error such as 0x800f0950, install the feature from the Windows 10\/11 ISO. However, you must ensure that<\/strong> the Windows 10\/11 version on your USB setup disk or ISO corresponds to the version<\/strong> of Windows installed on your system.<\/p>\n
      \n
    1. Obtain the latest Windows 10\/11 ISO (assuming that your Windows 10 system is running the newest build) using the Media Creation Tool<\/a>, and then mount the ISO image.\n
      \"mct
