Download Complete Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Setup
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 there 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 problems with live installer…
- It may hang forever if you have slow internet connection like dial-up, GPRS, etc.
- You can not use it at all if your computer is not connected to internet
- Also if you are running pirated Windows better not to use any software/installer from Microsoft which connects to Internet.
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
- 32-bit version (Size: ~200MB)
# Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Setup
- 32-bit Version (Size: ~50MB)
- 64-bit Version (Size: ~90MB)
Do not worry about authenticity of above links as they are from Microsoft’s server!

OMG Thanx man!! Ive been looking for something like this. I dont know why I download it off the redistributed package. It just says re-establishing connection 1 of 5…I dont know whats going on.
@Ray
Your welcome buddy
I hope ur download has been completed by now
will this let me play my grand theft auto 5 i cant seem to play
oo its has. I have a pretty fast internet connection. I finished the download in 15 minutes!! =DD Thanx again!!
@Ray
Your welcome Ray
Also if you are running pirated Windows better not to use any software/installer from Microsoft which connects to Internet
lol thats why i stay away from microsoft site
had to sacrifice their sky drive too 
now using mediafire.com as online storage …mmmmm but wanted skydrive naaaaaaaaaa!
@adi
In this case you can use download manager to directly download .NET framework.
So I don’t think Windows validation comes into picture.
I dont have an internet connection at home, will this work for me?
@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

Great ! Thanks man.
Thank u so much, gorgeous …….
@ryan –

Thanks a lot for the upload i was tired of downloading the same 50 MB download every time on my 256 kbps connection.
Cheers!
@Dhawan -
Your welcome buddy…
Just for info… I didnt uploaded file anywhere. All download links are official download links hidden on Microsoft site.
Also just for safety never download files from unknown uploader…
thanks, it helps me a lot… i tried downloading the 2.9mb version from Microsoft but the DL always restart from the top… thanks a lot now i can install without those problems @_@
very useful dudez
thanks a lot RAHUL
When I download the link as shown above am I getting the entire NET Framework 3.5 application?
The reason I’m asking is because I downloaded it and tried to run an application that required the use of NET Framework but the application didn’t recognized NET Framework.
I wish I could download the application without the use of an installer.
Do you have a solution?
Hi, Rahul.
Great job! Do you’ve the link for full NET Framework 3.5 SP1? Why not add other free softwares from M$ such as DirectX 9.0c last edition/month?
Thanks for your kind support to many people. May God Bless U!
@Joni Goodell -
Hi Joni.. Thanks for your suggestions.
I will try to add links to other microsoft softwares.

I have used several programs including Paretologic RegCure to repair and optimize my pc however I continue to get the same error message whenever I try to reinstall Net Framework 3.5
Thanks Rahul
Thanks a ton man! GOD bless
@Fernando
May be your system files are corrupt.
Or please uninstall, if you have any previous versions of .NET framework.
thanks a lot guys!!!!!!! I was downloading this and it was going in a loop from 1% to 5% and then back to 1%, got it through the self installer dotnet35setup…
I dont know if my OS is licensed of pirated one, still went to Microsoft site and download that 2.84mb file, do you guys will I be having any problems??? from now on if mine is not licensed??
As an IT consultant it’s very annoying to download the .NET 3.5 installation over and over…
Finally a good solid way to implement the update from a USB Stick…
Thanks a million (also thanks from my wife, sincei’m home earlier every day
)
Regards
nice work ………………
dude.. .net framework 3.5 is not working properly..There is alert to install windows installer 3.1… Plz help me….

You may need to update windows installer to version 3.1
Just Google it. Its free for download on Microsoft’s official site.
@Fernando
Glad to know that buddy…
Hey Buddy, I downloaded the .net framework 3.5 and it says i need the new windows installer. However i’m running a pirated copy of windows XP Pro. Will that conflict with my system? Any ideas?

Hi Rahul,
Thanks a lot for the post with full setup file of .net frame. It has always been a pian in Butt to download this file.
I am now trying to install the 3.5 version and it says it encountered a problem and cannot install. I removed all the previous versions of .net frame manually, cleaned the registry before installing. I am using Windows XP SP3. I tried installing windows installer 3.1 but, it said since i am using the latest service pack its not needed.
please help me install this.
Thanks in adavance.

@Purushotham
What error message did you get?
Try pasting that error message on “Google”. You will find some help.
thanks is useful and nice link to my connection. gbu
Hi Rahul,
Thanks for the link but when I install the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5, it required to connect to internet. May I know what wrongs? I thought this the standalone/full installation….
Any ideal and please help….
Thank you.
@Jeffrey
What is size of file you have downloaded?
Because once you directly download entire setup file, it will get install without connecting to Internet.
Hi Buddy,
Thanks a lot for keeping such type of tool. it is very gr8 to have it. THANKS A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks man. i was lookin for it from last 2 days.

Hello dear Rahul Bansal thanks for your link about Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 for download my ‎windows is Xp professional I need your suggestion which one should I install 200 MB or 50 MB.‎
Thanks
@Ahmad
Both are different version. But if you are not sure about your requirements please go for 200MB version.
HI Rahul,
I downloaded the 200MB file size but if I disconnected from the internet, it will slowly install. When I check the log file, it trying to install those multiple language pack which I don’t need…….very strange and no ideal what wrong….
@Jeffrey
If you have Internet then keep it on while running 200MB installer.
I really don’t remember if my Internet was on or off while running installer.
tanks for you, this site is very good.
Thanks a Lot Rahul,
i am try as many time to direct download Framwork 3.5 but never sucess ..you are doing excellant JOb.
Cool site man great net frameworks
I had to uninstall Net.Framework because the files got corrupted. When I tried to reinstall Net.Framework. I was able to reinstall Net.Framework 1, 2 and 3 However I cannot see Net.Framework 3 and cannot install Net.Framework 3.5 and 3.5 SP1. I continually get error 1935 and 2908. I have run registry cleanup and spyware several times and I am running out of patiences.
Shot for the stuff man. Also had same issue that it kept wanting to reestablish connection. Annoying. Apparently net.framework 4.0 is out. true??? should we try get it or waste of time??
thanks again. chuz
@Fernando Cancel
I guess you need Windows XP SP3 to install .NET framework 3.5.
@Veron
I am not updated with recent status of .NET framework releases. But if I come across any recent version like 4.0 I will post about it.
I have a Dell Inspiron 9200 with windows XP. I had to much corruption with my OS. I did a new reinstall of my OS. I did not reinstall explorer 8 or Net Framework 3.5 SP1 and everything seem to be working fine. Thanks F Cancel
@Fernando
Great to know things working for fine at your end.
By the way if you are having problem with 3.5 try installing .NET framework 3.0 first!
Thanks
i tried as many time to direct download Framwork 3.5 but never sucess ..you are doing excellant job.

Man whats the problem with microsoft setup for net framework. It has become a headache to download. And its inmportant because new nokia pc suite requires net framework 3.0 or greater
I downloaded this 3-4 times and all goes well until the final install.I keep getting an error and all files are then removed.I utilize windows-xp,exployer 8 .I currently have network 1.1 as shown on my contol panel (add/remove list).I’ve given up on this cause I can’t figure out just why it keeps failing to install.
Thanks Buddy.
Thanx for .net framework 3.5
Thank you mate is working!!
thnx!!!
Big thanks to you, Because I don’t have need to update it in Microsoft Its already updated thanks again and GBU…
lets say you do have a pirated version and started to download the framework, do you think that person would be okay
@Al Boltar
Pirated versions should be fine with this update.
So I just rebooted my computer and manually installing all my drivers, and of course…the most important drivers for the internet require .NET Framework which itself requires Internet. What a mess.
Thanks so much; you don’t know how much this saved me time and also stress from bothering techie friends who don’t want to be bothered =)
awesome job. thank you.
gr8 cheif xellent stuff
thanx buddy…..u totally rocks….!!
Doesn’t work complete at @60 of 71MB of the extra data it fails, and tries to reconnect 5 times. After all reconnect options fail, the installer continues. But is missing
I’m going to build an administrative installation-point. That can be used for the full setup. I’ll post a link here!
