.Net 3.5 is a feature in Windows 8, that is "off" by default. Turning the feature "on" will have the same effect as installing it.

To turn the feature on, type "Windows Features" on the start screen and under settings you'll see "Turn Windows features on or off."

In there put a check mark next to .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)

Windows Features

It could take a few minutes and request a restart, but once it is done you will have .NET 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5.

You can also install it offline:

  1. Mount your Windows 8 installer (DVD/USB/ISO).

  2. Press Win + X, A.

  3. Run the following command: (Change X: to the letter of the Windows 8 installer)

    dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /All /Source:X:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess

You don't need to use the installer, simply go to "Turn Windows Features on or off", and enable .Net 3.5 in there.
