Hey, I’m happy to say that the .NET Framework 2.0 is finally finished, and the official RTM build (2.0.50727.42) is available for download on the Microsoft Download Center. Check out this location for a full list of .NET Framework 2.0 products that are available. Here are some of the most commonly requested downloads:
- .NET Framework 2.0 redistributable (x86)
- .NET Framework 2.0 SDK (x86)
- .NET Framework 2.0 redistributable (x64)
- .NET Framework 2.0 SDK (x64)
- .NET Framework 2.0 redistributable (ia64)
- .NET Framework 2.0 SDK (ia64)
A couple of important notes here:
- The .NET Framework 2.0 SDK requires that you install the .NET Framework 2.0 redistributable first, so if you want the SDK make sure to download both
- The .NET Framework 2.0 redistributable is a language-neutral package. Setup UI will appear in the language of the OS you are running setup on (more setup packaging details are here if you are interested). The resources inside of the package are English only. There will be language packs available soon that contain non-English product resources.
- The .NET Framework 2.0 SDK is English only. Non-English languages will be available soon.
