In Windows 8 CP some features like NetFramework 3 and 3.5 are disabled by default, so you can enabled and install them via Windows Update and spend over 300mb for nothing because, all needed files you already had on your Windows 8 CP Disk.
---------------- First of all you must have installed Windows AIK for Windows 7 and Windows 8 CP ISO file.
And if you browse the iso you should find this in install.wim: This is only to check that everything is all right.
When finish your installation with new image, go in C:\offline\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\ and at this location you will find:
With enabling only recommended features and rebuild of wim file i get iso with size: 2.55GB for Windows 8 Consumer Preview 32-bit (English), for comparison size of the original iso is 2.52GB.

Ummm... Why not enable the feature in Control Panel instead of this much effort?
That is by simply just in case if you have internet on a given computer. In any other case doesn't have any sense, if you don't have internet, or if connection speed is too slow, or if you have multiple computers to install, then you must download 300 to 400 megabytes on each computer, and nobody has no need to doing that because Windows 8 DVD brings everything what is necessary, but for unknown reasons Microsoft has excluded some of the most needed features for each user.
All this work I still do not believe that's need a lot of effort, most of us (enthusiasts) have long ago Windows AIK 3 on our PCs, all job has need 6-7 commands, which overall can take away no more than 20 minutes work, which is permanently solution compared to waiting to be downloaded NetFramework via Windows Update for each new installation, over and over again.

It is really nice for someone like me, I have dial-up. And the computer I install my Windows 8 Builds on isn't hooked up to the Internet anyway.

Yeah, that is for online installation, I forgot to mention that like an option. That wasn't point of this topic - that is vice-versa method.
However, I recommend for those who will choose offline option to combine it with my method for timebomb removing, with which they will get more completed and more functional Windows 8 CP.

Oh, yes I see. That is a big problem right now, but I hope someone will try to crack Windows\ImmersiveControlPanel\SystemSettings.exe (PCSettings), for activation to not be necessary from this point of view.

This works on the Developer Preview (I saw very few reasons why it shouldn't). I also removed the Time Bomb from the ISO. Then after disabling Metro I got a very nice OS. First time I tried the Developer Preview for more than a few minutes. Before I found the Developer Preview pretty useless without .Net Framework 3.

How did you remove timebomb from DP ISO?
I mounted install.wim and then took ownership of Windows\System32\spp. I then replaced the store folder with the one from the 7850 activator. Then in the tokens folder I over writed the files in the folders issuance and ppdlic. Unfortunatly I believe that if you set the clock forward you get rebooted every two hours in the DP even if you are have never activated. I have yet to test to see if this is true or not, but it is was I was told.
