I have installed a fresh copy of windows 8. Since, dot-net framework 3.5 is not installed in it. I used microsoft's dism tool to enable this feature. I inserted windows 8 dvd and create a cmd file as follows

Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /All /Source:E:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess

E: drive is my Windows 8 dvd drive. But i am getting an error 0x800f081f

dism enable feature dot-net framework 3.5

I have read many articles including https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3005628 but the update files given in this page are for windows 8.1 not for windows 8.
I have also tried the command 

dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
dism /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup

but none of these helped me out. Since it is a fresh window, so no windows updates are there to uninstall.

I wan to enable dotnet framework 3.5 in windows 8 using windows dvd or offline mode. Using dism command, i am getting this error

Error: 0x800f081f The source files could not be found.Use the "Source" option to specify the location of the files that are required to restore the feature.

  • update to 8.1 (8 is out of support) and try here again to install .net 3.5 before installing any Windows updates. Also this question belongs to useruser.com – magicandre1981 Jun 09 '16 at 04:13
  • most of my clients still have windows 8. So there is no other options ? – Er Mayank Jun 09 '16 at 06:19
  • again, Win8 is out of support and no longer gets any updates. To get new updates the users have to update to 8.1 (this is free for Win8 users) via the Windows Store. – magicandre1981 Jun 09 '16 at 14:40
