Install .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows Server 2012:
-run POWERSHELL (as admin)
-type: Install-WindowsFeature Net-Framework-Core
-wait 10 minutes.
That should do it! Congrats!
You can check to see if it installed by:
-type: Get-WindowsFeature
And if you install the GnuWin32, you can grep to your heart's content:
-type: Get-WindowsFeature | grep -i framework
