windows 8 .net fix

Had good time with windows 8.W8 has .net frame work 4.5 as default but some applications need .netfix3.5.1 so we will have to enable them there are several ways to do this,

come to desktop>open my computer>then control panel >programs(icon used to uninstall softwares)>programs and features>on the left corner an option to turn on and off windows features>click it and open >then select .net framework 3.5.1 from the list and check it.then  click apply and ok.


If above method does not work then try below,

Put installation disk in dvd drive then ,create a folder dotnet35 in c drive then open command prompt and run following command,
xcopy e:\sources\sxs\*.* c:\dotnet35 /s

then go to c drive select dotnet35 then open file menu>command prompt>run command prompt as administrator(elevated command prompt)

then run the command,

Dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /All /Source:c:\dotnet35 /LimitAccess


here source will dvd drive so make the drive letter as appropraite for your system.

it will install the features.
