Problem
The .NET 3.5 Framework feature can not be added to a new Windows Server 2012 build. This problem is encountered during the build of a new SharePoint 2013 web front end (WFE):
No matter how the source disk is made available to the Add Feature wizard, whether using different network drives, mounting it locally, copying it to the local drive, etc., the error message is the same. A similar message is encountered when attempting to add the .NET 3.5 feature via PowerShell script. This is the first time you have encountered such an error building a new Windows Server 2012 instance for SharePoint 2013. You last successfully created a new Windows Server 2012 instance in July 2014.
