Unable to install .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows Server 2012 R2

I was recently attempting to install .NET Framework v. 3.5 on my Windows Server 2012 R2 virtual machine, when I suddenly discovered that the feature was never being installed!

Well, a quick search of the problem revealed this article: http://blogs.technet.com/b/askpfeplat/archive/2014/09/29/attempting-to-install-net-framework-3-5-on-windows-server-2012-r2-fails-with-error-code-0x800f0906-or-the-source-files-could-not-be-downloaded-even-when-supplying-source.aspx

This also led me to the following subsequent articles:

After installing the required update on my virtual machine, I was finally able to install .NET Framework v. 3.5 once again!
