You need to install it as an optional feature (from Internet or (if you use a command line trick) from the Windows installation DVD). It is not possible to install .NET 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and .NET 3.0) using the normal installation file.

If you need to install it please insert your Windows DVD, open an administrative command prompt and enter the following command:

Code: Select all

Dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /All /Source:D:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess

(You need to replace "D:" with the letter of your CD/DVD-drive). Wait for the process to complete and reboot.

If you have .NET 3.5 installed, you also have 2.0 and 3.0 at the same time. .NET 3.5 includes them both. Thus it doesn't make sense to include 2.0/3.0 in WSUSOU.

Try to repair or reinstall your .NET 3.5 package.
