I'm currently trying to install .NET 3.5 SP1 on a Windows 2003 SP1 Server and it gives me an error saying that this needs to be done with the "role-management tool".
Where do I find that tool and how to use it?!
.NET 3.5 SP1 needs “role-management tool” for installation
netwindows-server-2003
Best Answer
Hm the role management tool only exists on Windows Server 2008. It's the replacement of Add / Remove Windows Components of the Windows Server 2003.
Is it possible that you need at least SP2 on your windows server 2003? Or try to install the newest .Net Framework 2.0 Release prior to install the 3.5 release.
Maybe you will find some usefull information in the 3.5 Readme:
