dotNET Framework 3.5 Offline Installer Tool

In the eventuality that you are using Windows 8 or later, then you also have the latest version of .NET Framework integrated with the operating system. While this ensures a good functionality of your operating system, sometimes you may need older version of the framework in order to run, test or debug certain applications.

As the name suggests, dotNET Framework 3.5 Offline Installer Tool is a program designed to help you install a non-specific version of .NET Framework on Windows 8. 8.1 and 10.

The program does not require installation or configuration whatsoever, but you should bear in mind that you need to use your Windows CD. As you can notice from the interface, the app is set to look for .NET Framework in a specific folder on C or the drive assigned for the CD-ROM.

Providing that you have the Windows CD, your next step entails that you select the drive location of the installation and then hit the Install button. As far as the options are concerned, you can choose whether you want the installation to be hidden and hence, not distract you from other tasks. At the same time, you can specify the tool used for the installation, namely CMD (DISM) or PowerShell.

As you probably hinted, the program has only one role, namely to install the 3.5 version of .NET Framework. If you need to use older versions of it, such as 2.0 for instance, then you need to do it manually or look for other third party software. It would have been nice if the app allowed you to install all of the previous versions of dotNet Framework.

Regardless of whether you are attempting to run a program or perhaps a developing an application or game for older versions of Window that requires a specific version, dotNET Framework 3.5 Offline Installer Tool enables you to do so.
