.Net Framework 3.5 (offline) installation failure is not detected

[alarkvell]

I am using Windows Server 2016 and AutoSPInstaller 3.99.60 and have configured it for offline installation of .Net Framework 3.5. If the installation fails, AutoSPInstaller does not detect the failure and continues. For example:

--------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------
 - Installing Prerequisite Software:
  - .Net Framework 3.5.1 from "C:\Install\2016\SharePoint\PrerequisiteInstallerFiles\sxs"...
Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool

Image Version: 10.0.14393.0

Enabling feature(s)

The source files could not be found.
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 http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=243077.

The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log
Done.
  - Running Prerequisite Installer (offline mode)......................

Would it be correct for AutoSPInstaller to stop on failure?

I just got a similar error with Windows Server 2019, SP2019 and AutoSPInstaller 3.99.60.

I had dotnetfx35sp1setup.exe in the 2019\SharePoint\PrerequisiteInstallerFiles\sxs\ folder, but this doesn't appear to be the version that Windows Server 2019 wants. If I run it manually, it says to use PowerShell or the Server Manager.

When I run from ServerManager, it want's a path to the install file(s) and looking at the Windows Server 2019 install media, it's looking for something quite different:

microsoft-windows-netfx3-ondemand-package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~.cab
Microsoft-Windows-NetFx3-OnDemand-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-US~.cab

Yep if you want to be covered for both Win2016 and Win2019 make sure these are in your \sxs\ folder:

microsoft-windows-netfx3-ondemand-package.cab microsoft-Windows-NetFx3-OnDemand-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-US~.cab microsoft-windows-netfx3-ondemand-package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~.cab

This is exactly what I was looking for to make it a Full offline Install. Thank You
