.net framework 3.5 setup on Windows 10 – Error : 0x800f081f

Posted on December 2017, 7 by FrenchW

I’ve been …. how to say …. “annoyed” to be able to install the .net framework 3.5 on my Windows 10 development system. This is a prerequisite for installing WixToolset (excellent program for generating installation files).

Going through the addition of functionality, I ran into the error 0x800f081f that I choose (or not), recover files on Windows update. Ditto trying to install it from the runtime binaries available at MS.

After having read the useless article of the technet concerning this error, I finally found the solution:

Start a PowerShell session “as administrator” (clic on the french capture below)

Connect the installation media (CD or iso) of your windows 10
Type in the PowerShell window:
DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /LimitAccess /Source:<YOUR_CD_DRIVE>:\sources\sxs
Force a system update by launching Windows Update

NB: <YOUR_CD_DRIVE> is the drive letter containing Windows 10 sources

Kawasaki Z800 Angel Eyes

It will not have been easy but installing Angel Eyes on the Z800 is still worth the effort, given the result 🙂

I bought them on AliExpress as of the green LED. You can find both also on Amazon

Test : Sena SMH5-FM duo – Bluetooth bike headset

Posted on January 2017, 3 by FrenchW

Christmas 2016 brought me, among other joys, a Bluetooth intercom helmet for the bike, in addition to Angel Eyes! I wanted the opportunity to communicate with both my passenger and the rest of the world without leaving my trusty steed. I was a little tired of waiting for the red lights to talk to my son or having to put myself dangerously on the side to see the messages when I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket.

My choice was therefore on the Sena SMH5-Univ Dual (see more on Sena website) in duo mode, which allows to equip 2 helmets completely. At about the same price but, I haven’t tried it, I have also found at Amazon:

For only one person, the Univ version, cheaper, could be a reasonnable choice : amazon
