FYI all... the DISM command line I specified above __works__ for installing .Net 3.5.1 from a specified local source _without_ having to go to the Internet at all (as opposed to the original PowerShell-based approach).
What this means is that for a fully-offline SP2013 install on Win2012, you don't necessarily need to stage your Win2012 servers with .Net Framework in advance - if you don't mind a couple of reboots while AutoSPInstaller is running (which of course it will, after each reboot, automatically pick up where it left off). I will include the change from Install-WindowsFeature to DISM in the next release, as well as guidance within AutoSPInstallerFolderStructure.txt about where to put the \sxs files.

I'm still having the issue that there's no Progress in the step:
"Running Prerequisites Installer (offline mode)..."
When running:
DISM.exe -ArgumentList "/Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /LimitAccess /Source:`"$env:SPbits\PrerequisiteInstallerFiles\sxs`"
manually on the Server where SharePoint should be installed Fx3.5.1 is installed fine.
When cancelling AutoSPInstaller and re-running the script it also does continue.
It's just not continuing on the first execution.
any ideas how to fix that?
thanks
