How do I get specific versions of the .NET runtime for use in windbg?

Question

I am debugging an old process dump from one of our servers. It was created about a month ago. To work with SOS, I need version 2.0.50727.4016 of mscorwks.dll and mscordacwks.dll for the AMD64 architecture.

Is there some official place to get these dlls? I found one question on StackOverflow that somewhat addresses the issue, but the solution seems a bit hackish and roundabout.

What is the official Microsoft channel for getting old framework dlls?

Answer 1

If i'm not mistaken this is an official .NET 2.0 x64 build. You can take it here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=B44A0000-ACF8-4FA1-AFFB-40E78D788B00&displaylang=en

Just install and find it under \Microsoft.NET
