Download Complete Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Setup

ADVERTISEMENTS

DOT_NET_framework Many new windows applications requires latest version of Microsoft .NET framework which is version 3.5 at the time of of writing of this post.

If you go to Microsoft download center, then by default you will get live installer of approximately 2-3 MB’s while complete .NET framework requires 50-200 MB. Actually on the same page they are links to complete setup but they are placed in a way that anyone can hardly notice them. Seems like Microsoft wants you to download live installer but there are problem with live installer…

  1. It may hang forever if you have slow internet connection like dial-up, GPRS, etc.
  2. You can not use it at all if your computer is not connected to internet :-(
  3. Also if you are running pirated Windows better not to use any software/installer from Microsoft which connects to Internet

So here I am giving you links to complete Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 & 3.5 setups which are gathered from Microsoft pages (links: v3.5 & v3.0)

# Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Setup

# Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Setup

Do not worry about authenticity of above links as they are from Microsoft’s server only! :-)

    @adi
    In this case you can use download manager to directly download .NET framework.
    So I don’t think Windows validation comes into picture.

    @humanas
    You can download this from a cyber cafe.
    Once downloaded, you will not need internet connection at the time of installation.
    Let me know if you have further questions… :-)

    This link is very very useful, can download the framwork in one big download rather than downloading the first 2.5Mb download and then waiting it to download by it self

    Thank u for who have done this great job

    Rahul,

    Thanks for making life easier for the rest of us. I have a computer that I never connect to the internet, so I really needed this. Microsoft is terrible about these things.

    Great work.

    Your welcome buddy… :-) I really hate Microsoft for such small things. Why don’t they highlight links to offline installers!
