title: dism The source files could not be found. Use the "Source" option to specify the location of the files
body: <p>I have installed a fresh copy of windows 8. Since, dot-net framework 3.5 is not installed in it. I used microsoft's <strong><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/tags/dism/info">dism tool </a></strong> to enable this feature. I inserted windows 8 dvd and create a cmd file as follows</p>
  
  <pre><code>Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /All /Source:E:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>E: drive is my Windows 8 dvd drive. But i am getting an error 0x800f081f <br></p>

  <p>I have read many articles including <a href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3005628" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3005628</a> but the update files given in this page are for windows 8.1 not for windows 8. 
   <br>
  I have also tried the command </p>
  
  <pre><code>dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
  dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
  dism /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but none of these helped me out. Since it is a fresh window, so no windows updates are there to uninstall. </p>
  
  <p>I wan to enable dotnet framework 3.5 in windows 8 using windows dvd or offline mode. Using dism command, i am getting this error </p>
