Is there a 2.0 SP2 .NET redistributable?

I'm a bit confused over the .net "redistributables"...

Our C# code uses some API calls that require .net 2.0 sp2. We do not want to require the user to download anything at the time of installation (this is a Winforms app with and installer) for various reasons. We currently include the 2.0 redistributable, and of course the functions requiring sp2 throws.

Is there a redistributable package for 2.0 SP2 to be found somewhere?

If not, what would be the best alternative?

+4 A:

.NET 2.0 SP2 or .NET 3.5 SP1

Unfortunately, these are not "redistributables" and therefore may require downloading content at installation time. I edited the question, bolding this requirement to clarify...

According to http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=396538, that .Net 2.0 SP2 download is the redistributable package. Note however: 'IMPORTANT: After installing the .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 update you should immediately install the update KB959209 to address a set of known application compatibility issues.' So unless you visit your users' workstations and install SP2 yourselves, it looks like they will have to run at least a couple of installers.

For the .Net 3.5 SP1 installer, scroll down on the page provided in the answer to the 'Instructions' section. There you will find a link to the .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 (Full Package) (http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/0/e/20e90413-712f-438c-988e-fdaa79a8ac3d/dotnetfx35.exe). Again note that an install of KB959209 is required.
