1. Insert Windows Server 2012 DVD or iso to  drive.
2. Open Add Roles and Features Wizard
3. Select .NET Framework 3.5 Features and then click next,
4. Select Specify an alternate source path link in the Confirm installation selections screen.

5. Path: :\Sources\SxS and then click OK.

6. Finally click Install button.
