Recently , I was working on installing a new Windows Server 2012 and as soon as I tried to do .Net framework 3.5 installation with Server manager ( as below ) , I got a notification for .Net framework 3.5 installation asking for specifying alternate source path for installation package(s).
I noticed a link at the bottom “Specify an alternate source path” , upon clicking a window opened explaining the situation and allow giving of the alternate source path .
Once the alternate source path was specified ( SxS folder at my Windows 2012 media ) installation was successfully completed . After a little bit of search for this behavior , I found that for Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8 .NET Framework 4.5 is default and .NET Framework 3.5 is optional which you can read more about on MSDN .
