Net Framework 4.6.2 Offline Installer
Tina Larzelere
The offline package can be used in situations in which the web installer cannot be used because of a lack of Internet connectivity. This package is larger than the web installer and does not include the language packs. We recommend that you use the web installer instead of the offline installer for optimal efficiency and bandwidth requirements.
For Windows RT 8.1:
The hotfix has been superseded with the latest updates of .NET Framework, which contain all fixes that were previously included in the hotfix. It is recommended to install the latest updates of .NET Framework.

Fixes an issue in which the .NET Framework API SqlConnection.ConnectionString property is used to set a null or empty connection string. In this situation, a Null Reference Exception (NRE) occurs when you use the API together with .NET Framework 4.7.2. [611802, System.Data.dll, Bug]
Fixes an issue in which you connect to Azure SQL DB and MultipleActiveResultSets=true is used in the connection string together with System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection. In this situation, the async query operations cause a bad TDS protocol request stream to be sent from the client. This causes the Async Query APIs to fail. [620109, System.Data.dll , Bug]
Adds an AppContext switch that opts out of some work that was done during AppDomain or process shutdown. This issue can reduce (but not eliminate) the possibility of a crash in applications that make unwarranted assumptions about the timing of the finalizer thread. [593963, WindowsBase.dll, Bug]
Fixes a crash in WPF that occurs when you multiple characters are replaced by a single character (in a different language than the original text) by using IMEPad. [605996, PresentationFramework.dll, Bug]
Applications that rely on .NET Framework to initialize a COM component and that run with restricted permissions may fail to start or run correctly, and return "access denied," "class not registered," or "internal failure occurred for unknown reasons" errors.

Fixed a handle leak during creation of a Window in WPF applications that are manifested for Per Monitor DPI V2 Awareness. This leak may lead to extraneous GC.Collect calls that can impact performance in Window creation scenarios.
I am running the .NET 3.5 offline installer on windows 8.1 from Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service pack 1 (Full Package) . Though, when I run this exe, it still prompts me to install from windows update. The same thing happens with the pre-service pack installer.
I was unable to DISM for this because the sxs folder diddnt exist on my 8.1 DVD so I did a search and found the update on the DVD, its under \support\framework_3.5\I ran that and it updated it, works fine.Brian.
Microsoft released the final version of the .NET Framework 4.8 on April 18, 2019. The new version is available as both web installer and offline installer. Since Microsoft prefers distribution via the web installer, it is difficult to find working offline installer links.
The .NET Framework is offered as web and offline installers. The core difference is that the web installer requires an active Internet connection during installation as it needs to download components from Microsoft servers.
Use this link to download the official .NET Framework 4.8 Language Packs for offline installation. The language packs include translated error messages and user interface text; the text is displayed in English if no language pack is installed.
The Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 is a new version of Microsoft's popular framework. It includes new features, fixes, and improvements compared to previous versions.
Microsoft released the .NET Framework 4.8 for Windows 7 Service Pack 1, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10, and all server platforms starting with Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (means Server 2012 R2, 2016, and 2019 are supported as well).
The changelog on the Microsoft Docs website highlights new features and changes in the new release. The log is quite technical in nature and intended for programmers who use the framework more than it is for Windows users and administrators who install it.
New features in .NET Framework 4.8 include high-DPI improvements such as improved support for Windows Forms interoperation in high-DPI WMF applications on platforms that support mixed-mode DPI scaling or support for Per-Monitor V2 DPI Awareness.
Another batch of Microsoft disk-clutter and complexity. Why? So programs may call some functions if programmers want to use it rather than write their own. It all means more complexity, more potential security risks and more patching. Where does it end!
@Yoann same issue here. Clean install of Windows Server 2019 latest build, install .NET Framework offline installer 4.8, reboot and boom. Many native control panels, like Server Manager, requesting some 4.0.... version of .NET framework instead, failing to load.
I had the same issue and received zero help or support from Microsoft. Dell support googled and read back to me everything I had googled and tried already. Importing the above registry information fixed it without a reboot.
@DavidSherrill This is the exact fix! For us, our RMM tool stopped working on a server 2019 standard server. It's services wouldn't start. Event Viewer complained about .net. Also server manager wouldn't open with the exact message you mentioned. Applying this fixed it all. thanks!!
YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND! THANK YOU! THIS IS THE ONLY SOLUTION THAT WORKED! Every other solution I've googled of this problem has been some variation of "turn net framework on/off in the "turn windows features on or off" app" or "reinstall the newest version of .net" or "did you try restarting your computer?" (OF COURSE I TRIED RESTARTING MY COMPUTER!! DO THEY THINK I'M AN INFANT??)
Please excuse my novice status displayed in this question, but does one simply copy/paste the text in your registry update file, and does the resulting text file require the line number entries as displayed in your post?
This post will show you how to install .NET Framework 3.5 in Windows 11 offline from an installation media with DISM. By default, Windows 11 only includes .NET Framework 4.8. However, there are still a huge number of useful apps built against the .NET framework v3.5.
Such apps were created for Windows 7 and even for Windows Vista, where version 3.5 was available out of the box. Once you try to run such an app, you will see a prompt to install the missing component from the Internet.
This method has a number of disadvantages. First of all, it is your Internet traffic, and it can be limited. Secondly, the download process is not reliable and can fail. If your Internet connection is unstable, it turns into hell. Finally, you can simply work offline.
That's why it is important to know how to offline install .NET Framework 3.5 in Windows 11. You will only need an installation media of Windows 11, such as ISO file, bootable flash drive, or its DVD disk, so no Internet connection will be required.
Now you can run any older apps coded in C#, VB.NET, and C++ that are built around older versions of the software platform. Note that .NET Framework 3.5 also includes .NET 2.0, which is also the runtime version.
Tip: You can easily find what versions of the .NET framework software you have installed using the following guide. It will give you ideas what apps will work on your computer without installing additional system components.
Finally, if you don't have the installation media for Windows 11, and also have no troubles with the Internet, you can give the online .NET Framework installation a try. Since we have already mentioned it in the post, let's review it for the sake of completeness.
i think you are taking a long root, no use to open terminal window. u just have to open the cmd with admin elevation then copy the below command and change the path for OS then hit enter. Its similar to windows 10
