I have several console apps written in vb .net 2003 running on a windows 2003 server. All are being converted to 2008 and I need to find out what needs to be done to get framework 3.5 sp1 onto the windows 2003 server succuessfully (I am not server literate as you can tell). If someone can point me to a source it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, You can download framework 3.5 sp1 for windows 2003. Download and install it on windows 2003 server. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=ab99342f-5d1a-413d-8319-81da479ab0d7&displaylang=en Thanks.

Thanks for your response. I probably should have been clearer in my question. Are there things that I might need to do or check prior to installing the framework to be sure any "prerequisites" are in place? I did some research and found a lot of information with problems encountered in trying to install the framework, and I want to avoid as many of them as possible. So I guess I am looking for a checklist of things to do prior to the install.

From my expierience: I did not have any serious issues when installing .NET FRamework 3.5 sp1 on windows 2003, even if I encounter any problem it could be resolved quite fast.With kind regards Krystian Zieja http://www.projectnenvision.com Follow me on twitter My Blog
