I get an error code 0x800F0906 while installing the .netframework 3.5 update on Windows 8 pro. PLEAS

I can not install .Net 3.5 on my windows 8 pro.

I have tried to go through:

1. Enable windows features

2. Windows Update when I try to install an application that requires 3.5

3. The DISM command with a local image: dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /Source:G:sourcessxs /LimitAccess

4. The full .Net 3.5 installer package

And yes I have checked my internet connection.

When I run 1, 2 & 4 I get the following error:

The following feature couldn't be installed:

.Net Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)

Error code: 0x800F0906

When I run the DISM command in administrator mode I get:

F:sources>cd sxs

F:sourcessxs>dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /Source:F:sourcessxs /LimitAccess

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool

Version: 6.2.9200.16384

Image Version: 6.2.9200.16384

Enabling feature(s)

Use the "Source" option to specify the location of the files that are required to restore the feature. For more information on specifying a source location, see

PLEASE HELP. I need to install several applications that requires .Net 3.5. If I can not get this to work I have to go back to windows 7.
