Dear Readers, You may have sometimes noticed while using windows 8 that some apps wont Run properly and some even doesnt open up... Its because of a reason that the application are designed in .Net Framework Environment these days that requires .Net Framework 2.0,3.0,3.5,4.0,4.5 etc. (Different application need different versions of .Net Framework and may not work with most out dated or most recent version of .Net Framework). Now you need to just install .Net Framework 3.5.. Just follow these 2 simple steps...

Method 1 (Offline Installation using cmd):

Enter your Windows 8 Installation Disk into DVD Drive... or Mount the .iso file...
Now run Command Prompt as an Administrator... Hit Start --> type in "CMD" or "Command" without quotes, when you see command prompt listed on top of apps list, Right Click on Command Prompt and Select option "Run as Administrator" from the bottom area near taskbar.
Now type in " DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /LimitAccess /Source:G:sourcessxs " without quotes.. (where G: will be your drive letter of DVD Drive or Mounted Image Virtual Drive.. Replace G: with your actual drive letter if its other than G:)

Method 2 (Online Method using Windows Update):

For this, Go to Control Panel --> Programs and Features --> Turn Windows Features on or off --> Select the option .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0) --> Hit OK. A Pop-up windows will appear asking that Windows needs to download additional files from Windows Update... Select Install this feature.. Wait until its done..
