Hello
I have one application which runs fine on other windows version except Windows 8. On windows 8 I am getting error for .net framework 3.5 not installed. As It is in prerequisite list in my windows installer . So when I select check box, It will start installing but then its throwing error So I want to know whether the source of .net framework set up for windows 8 is different then other? Or What should I do to include correct setup in installer which works fine on every version including windows 8.

Yes and I am able to install it offline by using executing command. But with the help of that I am able to enable feature. If I want to include this as prerequisite in my setup project what should I do ?

Why? This version of windows comes with .NET 4.5. To enable some other versions for compatibility, please read this:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/net-framework-windows-8[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh506443%28v=vs.110%29.aspx[^],

How to do it in your installer, depends on the installation toolkit you use. For example, you can use DISM in a custom installation action:
