Hi, i need your help.Im creating a VM with Windows server 2012 R2, SQL Server 2014 BI, and now that i'm installing SQL Server, i got the information that i have to install framework .NET 3.5 SP1.

The question is, after searching on the internet, all pages mention a directory that i don't have in my ISO file (i've i seen wrong?!)

something like "\xxxxxx\sxs" and in my directory i only see this:

Directory \Sources\SxS is available only in windows server image version. So you need to get a Windows Server image version and mount the same.

Hope this helps.

You require sources\sxs folder which in windows setup cd or collect from any resources , you copy into folder in d drive ..

you can use following command .

dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /all /Source:d:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess

Refer following will help you..

Just to clarify, .NET 3.5 is a Windows Server feature, not a SQL Server feature.

Please see:

Jesus, i haven't noticed that it was on Windows image!

Just to mention one detail: i've downloaded the executable, changed extension to zip, to try to unzip the file and then point the installation to the folder, but i couldn't.

Regards.

EDIT: this time SQL Server wants framework 3.5 service pack 1... how can i install it?

I'm not sure what you did as you have to install .net 3.5 as windows server feature. So you need to go to manage roles and features and then point to image to install it. To get 3.5 sp1, you would use windows update.

If you are looking for full executable for sp1, you can find it here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=25150.

Hope this helps.
