Does Win 2008 r2 x64 server come with .net 3 sp1 package already installed?


same as in title? I have a test server with mentioned OS and my app is .net 3.5 based. I do want to know if win 2008 r2 comes with service pack 1 for .net 3.5 from the box. And does it come with .net 3.5 sp1 family update as WELL, since after I downloaded the update, the installer says I do not have software required to update. Could some win 2008 guru perhaps explain it to me? thanks luke


Solution

  • Windows Server 2008 R2 does come with .NET 3.5 SP1, however it is not an installed feature by default. You can find the details for installing it here (because for R2, the directions are different than they previously have been)
