I have a Windows Server 2003 server that I need to have at least .NET 2.x installed on.
Is there somewhere within the OS where I can tell it to download it from Microsoft?
or
Do I have to download the runtime from Microsoft manually and then install it?
(I know I can do it this way, but is there another way?)
Best Answer
You can get the .NET Framework 2.0 Redistributable and .NET Framework 3.5 Redistributable from Microsoft downloads and run them manually on the server. If you have more than one server, you should have them setup to recieve updates from a central area much like Zypher said.
Hope this helps some.
