Trying to install .NET 3.5 on Win Server 2012 but getting error that source files cannot be found
I've searched the web and tried all the suggestions but I still get the same error
I've tried using the GUI and pointing to the /sources/sxs folder on the CD
Tried using cmd prompt:
but just get the same error every time

you could also try powershell
Install-WindowsFeature Net-Framework-Core -source D:\Sources\SxS
Install-WindowsFeature Net-Framework-Core -source D:\Sources\SxS
ASKER
tried all that :(
same error

Do you have windows 2012 DVD in CD-ROM when you run the command?
Use a different copy of media or extract SXS folder from ISO and copy it to the server, then point the location to the copied SXS folder.

Ok so I tried the powershell option - same error
then tried copying the sources folder directly to the root 'C:\sources\sxs' - same problem :(
The media I have is actually an ISO file mounted to the DVD drive of the server which is virtual, if that makes any difference?
Regardless of which method I try, the install gets to about 68% then fails

shouldn't make a difference using a mounted iso
is this 2012 and not R2? in other words, does the media match - 2012 using 2012 iso and not an R2 iso?

Running Windows Update did the trick

are you running R2?
Try this command from CMD
dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /all /Source:d:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess
insert OS disk
Go down to “Specify an alternate source path” and enter “d:\sources\sxs” as the path.
