title: Installing .NET Framework
body: <p>I'm currently updating our software installer and have a few questions about getting the .NET framework installed.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>What are the installer(s) (.exe or .msi) required to install .NET 2.0 SP2?</p></li>
  <li><p>What are the installer(s) (.exe or .msi) required to install .NET 3.5 SP1?</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Microsoft's download pages are slightly ambiguous. I belive I need <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=5B2C0358-915B-4EB5-9B1D-10E506DA9D0F&amp;displaylang=en" rel="nofollow noreferrer">.Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2</a> and Microsoft <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=d0e5dea7-ac26-4ad7-b68c-fe5076bba986&amp;displaylang=en" rel="nofollow noreferrer">.NET Framework 3.5 Service pack 1 (Full Package)</a>.</p>
  
  <p>We need the .NET 2.0 SP2 for windows 2000; .NET 3.5 SP1 is for Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista x86 &amp; x64, Windows Server 2008 x86 &amp; x64 and Windows 7 x86 &amp; x64.</p>
  
  <p>These are to be run from Advanced Installer as software prerequisits. .NET 3.5 must support both x86 and x64 operating systems.</p>
