dot net framework 3.5 error while installing or running a game

some of the gamers see a notification saying they don't have dot net framework 3.5 and they should install it and when they try to do so, they see some error.
here is the solution-
jump to windows 8.1 instead of 8. actually windows 8 has so many bugs that won't let you play your games properly.
other solutions are as follow-
1-
1. Type gpedit.msc in RUN or Start search box and press Enter. It'll open Group Policy Editor.
2. Now go to:
Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System
3. In right-side pane, look for "Specify settings for optional component installation and component repair" option.

4. The option would be set to Not Configured. Double-click on it, set it to Enabled and enable "Contact Windows Update directly to download repair content instead of Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)" option.

That's it. Now try to install .NET Framework 3.5 again using Control Panel -> Programs and Features or by using DISM command and now you'll not face any problem.
---------------------
A simple solution for many is to go to control panel / uninstall a program / view installed updates (top left corner) and then delete these two updates: KB2966826 and KB2966828. Then go back to windows update / view installed updates / enable windows features and check the .net framework 3.5. Then windows update will download it without saying it cannot connect to the internet. Windows update will reinstall the two removed updates later without any ill effect.
