Run:
```
dism /online /disable-feature /featurename:NetFX3
```
And then reboot Windows.

Then run the following command to reinstall it:
```
dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /All

Note the error messages if any.

May I know what is C:\Sources\SxS? Does the folder exist?

Did you copy the CAB file to that folder?

Also, what's the exact command line did you use?
