I found cabinet file "microsoft-windows-netfx3-ondemand-package" at \sources\sxs.
Do we need to extract it or pass directly as source?
Just specifiy <drive>:\sources\sxs. I just did that and it worked fine.

Are you connected setup to use a WSUS server? If so then see .NET Framework 3.5 installation error: 0x800F0906, 0x800F081F, 0x800F0907 and the sections on telling Windows to use Windows Updates servers.

On the Azure Windows Server 2016 TP5 VM, there is an SxS folder at C:\Windows\WinSxS\ Unfortunately, although referring to that folder worked with the TP4 VM, it doesn't seem to work for the TP5 VM.

I did specify E:\sources\sxs, but that did not work.
I think your answer is not for an Azure VM.

I have the same problem.
How did you fix it? I also tried to point to local sxs source.

Hi Floris,
<drive>:\sources\sxs is for local as well as azure VM.
I was able to install .Net Framework 3.5 on my local as well as azure Win server 2016 TP5 VMs.
What I did actually was, I downloaded Win server 2016 TP5 iso file and extract "sources\sxs" folder from it.
Copied it to azure VM and then specified the path of "sources\sxs" in server manager for installation and it was successful.
Followed the same for my local VM and it works there as well.
C:\Windows\WinSxS didn't work for TP5.
regards,
Pratik

Did your have the TP media mounted to drive E:?

Mounting the TP media. <drive>:\sources\sxs, and then specifying it as alternate source path did not fix the issue for me. I had to copy the whole folder <drive>:\sources\sxs to a local drive, and specify this copied path as Alternate Source Path.
Hope that helps someone...

With the microsoft-windows-netfx3-ondemand-package.cab file copied from a source install package to the server, it would still not accept it in the 'add roles and features' menu(after changing the source path ofcourse).
Finally got it with DISM in Powershell(elevated) to install:
Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /All /Source:D:\sources\SxS /LimitAccess
Replace 'D:\sources\SxS ' for the drive with the cab file.

When I go that link, it gives me this error.

Download the required cab file from this site.
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120760819
After it has been downloaded, give the location of the file as 'Specify an alternate source path'.
Regards.

Note that this post was marked as answered nearly three years ago. Also, the product, Windows Server 2016 TP5, for which the note was opened is no longer available as it was a technical preview. You should not be attempting to use that product as the official product, Windows Server 2016 has been officially released.

SXS folder contain cab files that .net use for installation.
I would suggest to copy sxs contents from other server to the local folder (under the path mentioned in the command below) and run the command (with admin privileges):
> DISM /online /enable-feature /featurename:netfx3 /all /source:c:\temp\sources\sxs
