Microsoft has launched Windows 8 RTM to the public. What can be downloaded here. In fact, Windows 8 contains Dot NET Framework 4, but for applications developed in Dot Net 3.5 Framework require the same version of run.Windows 8 allows users to enable this feature through the Internet. But as time consuming as the size of the last update is about 230MB.
The interesting thing is that it actually contains the Windows 8 DVD Dot Net 3.5 upgrade installation, but can not be used directly. That can only be used via cmd.

Update: This method is applicable to all editions of Windows 8, including RTM.

Follow the instructions to install Dot Net Framework 3.5 offline via cmd:
1. Insert the Windows Developer Preview DVD in the player.
2. Go to "C: \ Windows \ System32" and find cmd.exe.
3. Right-click the file and select Run as administrator.
4. Copy and paste the following code in the cmd window:

       DISM.exe / online / enable-feature / featurename: NetFX3 / Source: "Z: \ sources \ SxS"

Change the drive letter Z with DVD RW and press Enter.
The process may take several minutes to complete. Restart the computer after the process is complete. Sharing is sexy
