.Net Framewok Error on Windows 8 Fresh OSRI Systems/OOBE Systems


On an OOBE system with Windows 8, it is likely that you get error related to missing .Net Framework while installing certain programs. In such cases DO NOT DOWNLOAD any version of .Net separately form MS Download center as .Net framewok is a part of Windows 8 installation package. In order to enable it, do the following


1.        Open “Control Panel”
2.       Click on “Program and Features”
3.       Click on “Turned Windows features on or Off” which is at the top left side.
4.       A new box will come up with the features that can be enabled/disabled. Expand the option which will have .Net framework with 3.5 listed there. There are two boxes in the expansion , check both of them and click on “Ok”. It will configure and may ask if you want to download it from Windows update. Allow the same. It is a large file and can take upto 30 minutes for the download and the installation to complete. Usually a restart is not required.
5.       Continue with the software installation and it will complete successfully.

This issue has been observed especially on fresh OSRI systems and while installing DDD. Important for a better resolution.
