.net framework 3.5 error 0x800b0101

Hi!

I'm trying to run the sims 3 on my utm virtual machine on my mac. Now I have windows 11 and it goes perfectly, but when I try to install .net framework 3.5 it doesn't work and there is this error code 0x800b0101. I tried really everything I could find, starting from date and time, going to install the program from the microsoft official site, but nothing changes.

I really hope someone can help me :) Thanks for reading

Hi Rita,

Can you try installing .NET 3.5 from the ISO?

Download the Windows 11 ISO, mount it, and run the DISM command mentioning the source (X:\Sources\SxS) folder.

Example:

dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /Source:h:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess

Install .NET Framework from local installation source (offline)

If that doesn't work, upload your CBS logs. Here's how to collect them:

 

1. Open the folder "C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\"

2. Select all files, right-click on the section, click Send to → Compressed (zipped) folder.

3. Click Yes when you see the following prompt:

 

Windows cannot create the Compressed (zipped) Folder here.

 

Do you want it to be placed on the desktop instead?

 

4. Upload the zip file to your OneDrive/Dropbox and share the link here.
