Where are LINQ assemblies located in Windows XP?

A:
My earlier answer was incorrect. The Framework directory under %WINDIR%
will not contain any of the LINQ assemblies. It only contains compiler related tasks. In order to get the LINQ assemblies you have 2 choices.
If you know the full framework is installed, not just the runtime components, then you can grab the reference assemblies from
%ProgramFiles%\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\v3.5
Otherwise the best bet is to go through the GAC
For the 64 bit runtime they will be at
%WINDIR%\Microsoft.Net\Framework64\v3.5

Thanks Jared. I have 3.5 and searched for Linq but couldn't find any. What's the name of the file?

It's very strange, I searched C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework for core, no dll came up.
