Can't install .NET framework 3.5

[Reimu]

NOTE: Before you point out updates KB2966826 and KB2966828, here's one thing: they are not present on my system.

I need to run an app that requires .NET framework 3.5. This problem only happened right after I upgraded from Windows 8 to 8.1. I also installed .NET framework 4.5.2, but to no avail. The same goes for the DISM CMD command. Nothing happens (Gets stuck at 60.4%). Also tried without the /limitaccess, and that doesn't work as well.

I'm afraid that my system is a brick now.

Oh yeah. Win8.1 x64. I didn't download any updates or something.

Thanks a mill for the above, was driving me mad, but would also like to add that I needed to uncheck '.NET Framework 4.5 Advance Services'. Hope this helps too....
