Iam trying to install .net framework 3.5 onto windows server 2019 that is offline. I have downloaded the offline installer dotnetfx35.exe but I get an error when trying to install the exe when double clicking on it. Any advise online says to use the windows ISO but I do not have it. Is there anyway you can use the offline installer of dotnetfx35.exe on windows server 2019?
Hi,
I have a question. What is the best way to add a silent install of .NET 3.5 to the packet? On Windows 10 .net 3.5 is missing and I am going to add full dotnetfx35.exe to the packet and run cmd instruction dotnetfx35.exe /PASSIVE /QUIET /NORESTART. When .NET 3.5 has been installed earlier this command returns quickly with no output. When .NET is missing it starts a silent installation but I would like to wait for it to finish because a user cannot start my program without it. The installer cannot finish without .NET installed properly.
Could you give me an advice how to do it properly?
Thanks,
Roman
You can use a custom action Execute a program and set its property named WaitUntilEnd to true.
See
-program-file
You can also pass command-line parameters.
This is the perfect solution for what you want to do.
Thanks for your help. I followed your advice and everything works fine. There is one small flaw. I used wait message form to inform a user what is going on but the form is too small and it only shows 3 first words and the rest of the text is truncated. Is there any solution for that? How to show more text when an operation is pending?
Thanks,
Roman

How do I install .Net 3.5 FW onto a W10 computer? This is W10 10.0.0.17763. When I try to add it through Program and Features I get error code 0x800F0954. Using Powershell yields equally negative results. If I try to download the dotnetfx35.exe it fails as well. I am logged in as the local admin.
I didn't find anything specific to that error code and Dynamics GP, but did find the following article regarding .NET Framework 3.5 installations failing with the exact code, and it is referencing Windows 10 machines, so, it may be worth looking at:
From what I can make out from all the articles mentioning .NET and this error, with Windows 10 OS, it seems the issue occurs because WSUS (Windows Server Update Services) doesn't allow optional features install this software framework, commonly when installing .NET on Windows 10 while using a WSUS server.
I have tried installing many different components including gecko, dotnet, directx, dxvk and all of them give me a message saying
"An error happened during download.
Do you want to retry?"
Does anyone have any ideas on solving this one? For the most part I have been able to manually install components I need by finding appropriate windows installers and just running them with wine in my prefix but I'd love to be able to have the convenience of this Play On Mac UI.
This method with copying exe file to ressources folder does not seem to work on mac. I'm trying to install dotnet35 and as the link is broken I tried with copying dotnetfx35.exe to /Users/myusername/Library/PlayOnMac/ressources/dotnet35/dotnetfx35.exe and to /Users/myusername/Library/PlayOnMac/ressources/dotnetfx35.exe but it does not work. Did anyone find any method to fix broken links in mac version? Is there any way to edit those broken links somewhere?
It turned out that it actually works at least partially, the problem was that in fact it was trying to download dotnet20 first I found that by checking scripts in /Users/myusername/Library/PlayOnMac/tmp/ directory and it turned out that I can just copy links to those exe files that cannot be downloaded to web browser and download them in web browser and then put to ressources/dotnet20/... So it looks like downloading file in PlayOnMac install components does not work but you can download them manually with links from scripts in tmp folder. However still I have more errors after that which seem impossible to fix.
