Windows 8 Previews .net 3.5 problem

In both the previews of windows 8, the developer and the consumer one, for home users, there is a big problem giving warning at startup and installation of several softwares. Before some apps start, a window opens warning that .net3.5 must be installed to run this software properly, and after proceeding with the installation, if fails in all cases.
Below is the sample screenshot.



So, there is a solution for this issue. This runtime can be installed offline. It will be a wrong descision to try installing this using the usual .net runtime installers, because their installation too asks for the same :).

Well to install this, the setup DVD of the windows 8 Preview is needed, you may use your physical disk or can just mount the ISO file.
All you have to do is just to open the command prompt with administrator previlages and run the folling command, and wait till this completes.

Dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /All /Source:H:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess


Note:- You may need to replace the "H" with your drive letter.
