About Dot Net 3.5

This installs the .NET Framework version 3.5 (includes versions 2.0 and 3.0). You may want to use this package as a dependency for packages requiring .NET 3.5. If .NET 3.5 is already installed, this package does nothing.

On Windows builds below 28000, .NET 3.5 is enabled via DISM as a Windows optional component. Depending on your OS version, Windows may download components via Windows Update.

On Windows 11 26H1 (build 28000) and later, .NET 3.5 is no longer a Windows optional component. On those systems this package downloads and runs the Microsoft standalone installer.
