When selecting the .net link in the pre-requisite checker for the Dashbard takes you to the service pack installation for .net. This will not install since I am missing the full version of .net that is required how to I get the needed version?

Resolution

To download the full version go to the link below to the Microsoft page and at the bottom of the page select link .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 (Full Package)   listed under Full Package.
