Resolving Error Code 0x800f0930: Installation Issues with .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows Server 2012

Follow these essential steps to address error code 0x800f0930 during .NET Framework 3.5 installation on Windows Server 2012:

  1. Verify the .NET Framework 3.5 installation: Access Server Manager and navigate to the 'Add Roles and Features' wizard. Ensure the .NET Framework 3.5 is installed. If found, consider removing and reinstalling.
  2. Utilise the DISM tool: Launch Command Prompt with admin rights and execute: DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /LimitAccess /Source:D:\sources\sxs (substitute 'D:' with the appropriate drive letter of your installation media). This command facilitates the .NET Framework 3.5 setup using your installation disk.
  3. Update through Windows Update: Access the Windows Update settings and search for updates. Install any updates related to .NET Framework and attempt the .NET Framework 3.5 installation once more.
  4. Adjust Group Policy configurations: If your server is managed within a domain, inspect the Group Policy settings for .NET Framework setups. Confirm the 'Specify settings for optional component installation and component repair' setting is active and the 'Download repair content and optional features directly from Windows Update instead of Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)' setting is enabled.
  5. Inspect antivirus interference: Certain antivirus solutions might block the .NET Framework installation. Temporarily disable your antivirus and try installing the .NET Framework 3.5 once again.
  6. Ensure the Windows Installer service is operational: Open the Services console to verify that the Windows Installer service is active. If it is not, initiate it and proceed with the .NET Framework 3.5 installation.
