       .NET Framework 3.5 is missing
       By: Lion_Heart Date: January 30, 2013, 12:32 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       By some weird happenstance, Microsoft decided to omit the .NET
       Framework 3.5 from its Windows 8 Developer Preview, which has
       version 4.0 running only. If you're trying to install an
       application that requires 3.5, you'll be faced with a dialog
       saying it needs to download the required components.
       Unfortunately, this process either takes half an eternity (45
       minutes on some of my machines!) or results in error messages.
       Solution: Gladly, there's a way to run the offline installer on
       the Windows 8 Developer DVD. Just make sure that the DVD is in
       the drive (or the ISO is properly mounted), fire up a command
       prompt and type in:
       dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3
       /Source:x:\sources\sxs
       Note: X is the letter of your DVD or ISO drive. This should
       launch the installer immediately.
