Microsoft  NET framework 3 5 can be installed on windows 10 without having installation media  The file you need is called microsoft-windows-netfx3-ondemand-package cab  Just google it and you will get the download links   After downloading it  copy that file to C  dotnet35 and run the following command   Dism exe  online  enable-feature  featurename NetFX3  All  Source c  dotnet35  LimitAccess  Tested and worked in Windows 10 without any issue

Looks like you need the package from the installation media if you re you re offline  located at D  sources sxs  You could copy this to each machine that you require  NET 3 5 on  so technically you only need the installation media once to get the package  and get each machine to run the command      Dism exe  online  enable-feature  featurename NetFX3  All    Source c  dotnet35  LimitAccess   There s a guide on MSDN

After several month without real solution for this problem  I suppose that the best solution is to upgrade the application to  NET framework 4 0  which is supported by Windows 8  Windows 10 and Windows 2012 Server by default and it is still available as offline installation for Windows XP

You don t have to copy everything to C  dotnet35  Usually all the files are already copied to the folder C  Windows WinSxS  Then the command becomes  assuming Windows was installed to C     Dism exe  online  enable-feature  featurename NetFX3  All  Source C  Windows WinSxS  LimitAccess  If not you can also point the command to the DVD directly  Then the command becomes  assuming DVD is mounted to D     Dism exe  online  enable-feature  featurename NetFX3  All  Source D  sources sxs  LimitAccess
