Press Windows Key + R, type gpedit.msc, and press Enter.
Go to:
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System
Double-click Specify settings for optional component installation and component repair.
Set it to Enabled, and enter the same source path: D:\sources\sxs.
Step 4: Restart the Server
Reboot the server to apply the changes made in the registry and group policy editor.
Step 5: Install .NET Framework 3.5
Once restarted:
Open Server Manager.
Go to Manage > Add Roles and Features.
