I am attempting to install .NET 3.5 Framework on a Windows 2012 Essentials server but am running into the following error: HRESULT = 0x80073701 - ERROR_SXS_ASSEMBLY_MISSING
After checking the CBS logs it seems to me that Microsoft-Windows-ServerCore Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.2.9200.16384 is the offending package. Here is a snippet of the logs:

EDIT: After reviewing the CBS logs more carefully, the actual error seems to be that the server is trying to install a Spanish version of .NET
