I downloaded the .net framework 3.5 from Microsoft and tried to install it but it won't install on Windows 10. My system doesn't have access to the Internet because the wireless adapter is not working, that's why I downloaded the framework and tried to install it manually.

That message is trying to tell you that you need to install .NET 3.5 a different way under Windows 7. Because it's included as part of the operating system, you use the "Turn Windows features on or off" function to get to it, instead of installing a downloaded redistributable package.
- Open the Start menu and click "Control Panel".
- Under the "Programs" category, click the "Turn Windows features on or off" link text.
Yes, there is an easy way, but you must have installation media for Windows 8 (could be a DVD or even a mounted .ISO with a Windows 8 installation) and make sure the media is for the correct version of Windows (x32 or x64). Otherwise, the command line will fail (not harmful, just annoying):
- Run a command prompt (
cmd) with elevated rights ('as Administrator'). - Run the following command:
dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /All /Source:E:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess
where "E:\sources\sxs" is the sxs path of your Windows 8 installation media.
- That's it, .NET 3.5 is installed on your machine. Reboot and everything that requires .NET 3.5 will work.

This is probably because your machine is wanting to go out to the net to get the install media for the .net framework.
If you have your windows 10 media available, try the following in a command prompt (run as administrator)
(where d:\ is your windows 10 media)
