Though why shyly call it a &amp;quot;service pack&amp;quot;, when it's really and obviously much more than that, is beyond me...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh yes, and bring it on! We're already waiting for Entity Framework 2 with full roundtrip here :)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;for the problem and my work-around&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, NTML auth breaks for the debugger under Win 2003, IIS6 and VS 2008 SP1. I simply cannot debug any sites with sp1. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hate to say it, but for the first time ever I am recommending that no-one installs this SP. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We're holding off on .NET 3.0 and later features until we can see if Silverlight will give us an almost WinForms development environment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Asp has been good to use since classic ASP, but we've not found enough overall value added to upgrade/rewrite our existing ASP.NET applications to .NET 3.5. &amp;nbsp;We base this on the estimated 5 year cost of a web application with 75% of that being after it goes into production. &amp;nbsp;In other words, maintenance costs are much too high for our existing ASP.NET applications (ASP.NET 1.x, ASP.NET 2.x). &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When will Silverlight be released with a Winforms like programming interface? &amp;nbsp;Version 1.x's current programming interface basically re-wraps existing web technology like we use in ASP.NET 2.0 along with the high maintenace costs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;1) &amp;nbsp;Anything that is installed when you install VS should uninstalled when you uninstall VS. &amp;nbsp;Don't drop 50 random pieces that have to be uninstalled separately.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2) &amp;nbsp;Make sure the blasted thing installs no matter what existing stuff is on the machine. &amp;nbsp;I haven't been able to install vs2008, I have no idea why. &amp;nbsp;The only way I managed to install VS2005 was on a freshly installed box. &amp;nbsp;This isn't right. &amp;nbsp;(It's failing to install rc.exe and for some reason needs that to build unmanaged C or C++.) &amp;nbsp;Checking msdn for help on the issue I see a bunch of suggestions &amp;quot;reinstall&amp;quot;. &amp;nbsp;I call BS. &amp;nbsp;If it didn't install correctly the first time, what are the chances it will reinstall correctly the second time ? &amp;nbsp;Does the reinstall require uninstall first ? &amp;nbsp;See #1.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Thank you for reporting the issue about NTLM auth not working for debugging with SP1 on Win2k3 for IIS6. &amp;nbsp;With your help we were able to narrow down the issue to a change which affects debugging on Win2k3 when using custom host headers in IIS.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The version of system.dll in SP1 contains a include a loopback check security feature that is designed to help prevent reflection attacks on your computer. &amp;nbsp;This same check also prevents debugging with custom host headers on Win2k3. &amp;nbsp;Fortunately a simple workaround exists to the the issue that enables debugging for this particular scenario. &amp;nbsp;The workaround is described in this KB article: &lt;A href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896861" target=_new rel=nofollow&gt;http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896861&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks again for your help in identifying the issue and bringing it to our attention.&lt;/P&gt;

Unfortunately i found no documentation how to enable it. After deep searching in the files of the SP1 update package found and option for TfsAdminUtil.exe that will enable this functionality. (TfsAdminUtil.exe configureconnections /TSWAUri:&amp;lt;uri&amp;gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was happy that i found it until I saw the result of it. The sourcecontrol checkin notification doesn't works well.&lt;/p&gt;

VS.NET, Service Packs, etc &amp;nbsp;must work with SQL Server 2008, Silverlight, and any other development/design products (like Expression Studio 2). Why does Microsoft expect users of its products to suffer un-install, re-install and other non-sense to get these common development products to work together in harmony everytime a new SP is released.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I must add that removing beta products is sometimes a nightmare situation. The transition from installed beta products to installing RTM products needs improvement.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After a full day Wednesday of removing everything Visual Studio and .NET related (hard, they broke, wouldn't repair, wouldn't uninstall, wouldn't force reinstall) and tweaking services I finally managed to get .NET versions back and only have no errors or warnings in logs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This morn I started by installing Visual Studio, partial install. &amp;nbsp;Succeeded with ony two odd errors in logs. &amp;nbsp;Whoa, what's this now, Service Pack 1 for VS 2008 and .NET FX 3.5. &amp;nbsp;Ok, let's get it over with. &amp;nbsp;First thing I noticed one hour into the install was that the service pack was installing things I chose not to install. &amp;nbsp;The trouble started when I rebooted though. &amp;nbsp;The install somehow trashed my administrator account. &amp;nbsp;Rolled back via system restore. &amp;nbsp;Ack! Everything Visual Studio and .NET is still wacky. &amp;nbsp;Can't repair, must roll back further and reinstall all. &amp;nbsp;Long day ahead of me - again.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm beginning to think the Developer Division has lost their collective minds. The latest .NET redistributable is 231.5 MB! We are an ISV and we need to ship the Framework with our installer. &amp;nbsp;Is it really reasonable to expect us to ship a 231.5 MB installer? &amp;nbsp;I heard there was a forthcoming .NET Framework Client Profile and was really excited about that. &amp;nbsp;Unfortunately, I think it's still inadequate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It seems to really only addresses this one scenario:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(1) Windows XP, No .NET Framework 2.0 or greater installed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Otherwise, we have to use the full blown .NET 3.5 installer. &amp;nbsp;This includes any of the following scenarios,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(1) .NET 2.0 or greater installed&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(2) All Vista Users&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(3) All Windows Server users&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When I was at Mix, all the softies seemed pretty oblivious to the fact that microsoft was shipping a &amp;gt;200MB redistributable for .NET 3.5. &amp;nbsp;Just to make sure everybody understands this, if you click on the bottom of the following page to download the redistributable you'll be presented with a truly massive dowload:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=333325FD-AE52-4E35-B531-508D977D32A6&amp;amp;displaylang=en"&gt;http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=333325FD-AE52-4E35-B531-508D977D32A6&amp;amp;displaylang=en&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(EDIT: SP1's even bigger, coming it at 231.5MB)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We ship a client application and it's not realistic for us to say to our users &amp;quot;ok... go ahead and download this installer from Microsoft, run it, and then run our installer.&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp;This may be fine for development products like Expression Blend, but as we ship software for somewhat less technical users, we need to install the framework for them. &amp;nbsp;To have our own branded installer, it's looking like we're going to still have to ship that massive 200MB installer. &amp;nbsp;Please let me know if I'm wrong here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On a related note, I think the .NET Framework team has introduced a problem here that's worse than old DLL Hell. &amp;nbsp;Imagine... Just to get a development feature like LINQ, I have to ship a 200MB installer with my application! I'm actually fearful that I'm going to have to ship .NET 2.0 with our applications forever and will never be able to use new features of the .NET framework because the framework is only getting bigger! &amp;nbsp;Is it really so bad that i might ship System.Linq.dll and System.Linq.XML.dll with my own application. &amp;nbsp;Is it reasonable to make me pay 175MB of overhead just to get LINQ? &amp;nbsp;I've been truly frustrated about this and think that WPF and thereby .NET Client Apps might unfortunately be doomed because it's just so hard to get deployment right. &amp;nbsp;I don't think even Microsoft ships any apps that install the .NET Framework 3.5 other than Expression and Visual Studio.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don't mean to trash the teams that work on this, but the deployment scenarios are pretty horrible for the .NET Framework. &amp;nbsp;It's been truly frustrating for me and I think it's only getting worse with the decisions to make the Framework this Big Monolithic Thing. &amp;nbsp;I'm worried .NET 4.0 will be 400 megs. &amp;nbsp;I'm worried that just to use F# I'm going to have to balloon our installer to 10 times its original size. &amp;nbsp;Right now, I feel like the .NET Framework is a dead end for client applications. &amp;nbsp;Should I trust Silverlight after getting burned with the first iteration of .NET?&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Service Pack 1 for VS 2008 and .NET FX 3.5 released!</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/somasegar/archive/2008/08/11/service-pack-1-for-vs-2008-and-net-fx-3-5-released.aspx#8868226</link><pubDate>Fri, 15 Aug 2008 02:32:06 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:8868226</guid><dc:creator>Simon | ASP.NET</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Jim, (Jim Losi): We apologize for the inconvenience the ASP.NET compilation issue you reported has caused and really appreciate all the help you have been giving us to resolve the issue.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The behavior you are seeing is the original behavior of ASP.NET 2.0. When the .NET Framework 3.5 and Visual Studio 2008 were introduced, a bug was introduced that affected certain pageBaseType scenarios that unfortunately were not intended. It seems as if you might have run into one of these scenarios. In the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1, the bug was fixed and these scenarios no longer occur; pageBaseType again works the same as in ASP.NET 2.0, as requested by customers. Unfortunately, this means that customers who have relied on the unintended behavior that was introduced in the .NET Framework 3.5 will now encounter problems when they run their applications.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are now evaluating creating a HotFix for these scenarios and providing workarounds for customers to help with this issue. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here are some details about the issue; we &amp;nbsp;will post a more detailed description soon. The mismatch is caused by the class in the code file not being assignable to the pageBaseType that is defined in the web.config file. The sequence that occurs is this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- During code generation for a page (MyPage.aspx) in a Web site, ASP.NET creates a separate class from the class that is defined in the code-behind file source (MyPage.aspx.cs). The web.config file’s pageBaseType value can be used in cases where you want all pages to have certain properties. It applies to all pages, not just to pages that do not have code-behind files.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- If MyPage.aspx has a CodeFile attribute and therefore inherits from a class that is defined in MyPage.aspx.cs, the class defined in MyPage.aspx.cs must extend the pageBaseType class. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To work around this problem, you can do the following:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. If the pageBaseType class (for example, MyBasePage) is not needed for all pages, you can remove it from the web.config file, or;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. Where pages do require the pageBaseType value, modify the classes in the code-behind files to extend the base type. In the filename.aspx.cs code-behind file, make sure that the class inherits from the pageBaseType that is specified in the web.config file (for example, public partial class CodeFileClass : MyBasePage instead of public partial class CodeFileClass : System.Web.UI.Page).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. An alternative workaround will allow you to add the following attribute to your page directive: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CodeFileBaseClass=&amp;quot;System.Web.UI.Page&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Again, thank you for your help in resolving the problem.&lt;/p&gt;

No problems here since obviously I understand VS cannot function without .NET 3.5 and it is a redistributable for machines that don't have it. BUT WHY WILL MS NOT STATE THAT IT ALREADY INCLUDES THE .NET 3.5 RUNTIME? I ended up downloading the whole .NET 3.5 runtime first and then the 831 MB service pack ISO where the 231 MB was redundant. Another thing that spoils the experience unnecessarily is that the IA-64 runtime is for a totally different class of processors which is not mainstream. Why does MS include IA64 components with every download is beyond me. Common sense would dictate produce separate IA64 versions because those would be very lesser required/lesser downloaded versions. By not bundling IA64 and the whole .NET 3.5, MS can save a whopping 300 off the ISO. Microsoft needs to understand that not everyone in the world is on unlimited high-speed broadband connections and do the needful. I hope my feedback is not wasted.&lt;/p&gt;

</description></item><item><title>re: Service Pack 1 for VS 2008 and .NET FX 3.5 released!</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/somasegar/archive/2008/08/11/service-pack-1-for-vs-2008-and-net-fx-3-5-released.aspx#8871883</link><pubDate>Sat, 16 Aug 2008 20:05:43 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:8871883</guid><dc:creator>Kevin (MS)</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Martin and James:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 200mb package you’re referring to actually contains several versions of the framework - only one of which is installed on any given computer. &amp;nbsp;In fact, the bits downloaded and installed for the full x86 .Net 3.5 SP1 is typically 40-60mb depending on the computer. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The good news is that you only need include the install bootstrapper (just 280K) in your setup package to install the .NET Framework:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; We are providing a setup bootstrapper (280K) that will allow developers to customize the user interface and provide an integrated, consistent experience regardless of where it is being installed (ie. Vista, XP, Server 2003 or 2008).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• &amp;nbsp; The bootstrapper will download and install the appropriate components for a given computer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• &amp;nbsp; The Client Framework bootstrapper can be customized to deploy the client profile (by default) or the full .NET Framework &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• &amp;nbsp; For a full framework install, a typical x86 client computer download will only be 40 – 60 MB depending on the operating system. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• &amp;nbsp; The Client Profile is a new install option in .NET 3.5 SP1. It’s a smaller subset of the .NET Framework specifically targeted for client application deployments like yours.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• &amp;nbsp; Client Profile payload is ~28MB. The initial download of the web based installer again is 280KB.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• &amp;nbsp; Client Profile contains the features needed by the client application developers; Windows Forms, ClickOnce, Common Language Runtime, Windows Presentation Foundation and Windows Communications Foundation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Finally, computers with .NET Framework versions 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5 will automatically update to 3.5 SP1 in the months following the release on Windows Update.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are still putting the finishing touches on the new bootstrapper and will provide further details on the Client Profile, the bootstrapper as well as some other deployment options for your client application needs soon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hope this helps&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks for your response. &amp;nbsp;The problem with the bootstrapper, as constructed is that the bootstrapper is only viable for a subset of our customers. &amp;nbsp;Pretty much anybody using a Proxy server can't use it to install and, to be frank, the on-demand installs have a pretty high failure rate, somewhere between 5-10% in my experience.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This means that for our full install, we'll still have to ship a 240MB installer (231 megs of .NET and 10 megs of our stuff).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To be frank, I don't know why the team bothered with the Client framework at all. &amp;nbsp;If the only way to ship it is with an on-demand install, it doesn't seem to provide much benefit. &amp;nbsp;Instead of downloading 40-60 megs on demand, it downloads 27. &amp;nbsp;It's not exactly a watershed savings. The way a client framework would have actually been useful is if all you ever needed was that 27MB runtime and it installed side by side with the full framework (ala Silverlight).&lt;/p&gt;

The only thing we installed is the IIS 7 and nothing else. But even so the server does not accept the installation of ASP.Net 3.5 SP1. We already tried to install the ASP.Net 3.5. After that, we tried to install ASP.Net 3.5 SP1 and even so the installation hangs out at the same point and the error log shows the same message above.&lt;/p&gt;

Kind of defeats the purpose. Also, the deployment guide states that the XPS Essentials Pack isn't included in the client profile. However the downloadable XPS Essentials Pack right now isn't installable on XP SP3 and gives an error message.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It used to allow you the option of having a merged single assembly, why has it been taken out? &amp;nbsp;I know you can do it through a web deployment project but how is this making any ones life easier?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is there some best practice being forced here?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;AFAIK Publish Web did not allow merging of assemblies at all... &amp;nbsp;In Publish Web we just call aspnet_compiler.exe which does the pre-compilation... &amp;nbsp;It was always WDP which use to do the merging by calling aspnet_merge.exe...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; I am very curious to understand the potential impact and the features that you are seeing missing, could you send me an email at Vishal.Joshi@Microsoft.com to discuss this further...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Is there any information on compatibility with 3.5 sp1 code deployed onto non-sp1 machines? &amp;nbsp;Specifically, what it will break? &amp;nbsp;I support apps for multiple clients and not all of them have upgraded to sp1 on their servers yet. &amp;nbsp;I want to upgrade to my local workstation &amp;amp; visual studio to sp1, but I don't know how to support multiple sp1 targets. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks for your post. &amp;nbsp;As for the compat question we worked hard to maintain a very high level of compat,ibility between 3.5 and 3.5 SP1. &amp;nbsp;We have received a small number of breaks, but we still believe that the release is very highly compatible. &amp;nbsp;As for those reports we will work hard to fix these compatibility issues for our customers when they arise.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As for the targeting question I would encourage you to target the RTM release and unless you want to use some of the new features in the SP, otherwise targeting the 3.5 RTM will work fine on the SP.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Why has this been ignored for so long? Why not accelerate it properly once and for all with those monster GPUs?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why is the footpring of WPF and Silverlight so huge that even pathetically slow WinForm outperforms it by a factor of 5?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why not fix the problems and actually invest in the tech you gave us before pushing another, even more bloated one?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The benefits are so huge I cannot believe your strategy at all. Most drop-outs from evaluating all your new tech are related to performance and poor rendering against real-world, heavy-stress, heavy-updating scenarios for the UI.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;WPF and Silverlight make it much worse, despite being a great tech, they are unusable for snappy apps users, put simply, demand.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm not exactly sure what you mean by “footprint” but WPF is significantly smaller and faster with SP1 and the Client Profile (thanks to increased hardware acceleration). Silverlight RC1 also has significant performance improvements that should be noticeable. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you wouldn’t mind sending me your scenarios in more detail I’ll look in to what the issues might be in more detail. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you install VS 2008 after you re-install Windows XP, you install .NET FX 3.5 as part of the VS install. &amp;nbsp;In that case, you need to install .NET FX 3.5 SP1 to get the latest framework bits.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm very confused...&lt;/p&gt;

Followed by VS 2008 Express SP1 DVD, which i burned from the all-in-one download. I did not bother downloading the MSDN so there is NO local help; As per instructions, went to Tools -&amp;gt; Options -&amp;gt; Environment -&amp;gt; Help -&amp;gt; Online, and tried to change &amp;quot;Try online first, then local&amp;quot; and clicked OK.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Problem is this does NOT stick, upon opening Tools/Options again, it was back to &amp;quot;Try local only, not online&amp;quot;! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This problem occurred for C# Express, VB Express, Web Express. How pathetic i thought, considering a clean install. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But i got around it to work by:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- change it to &amp;quot;Try online first, then local&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- DON'T click OK. Instead click on the ? mark icon (Top right hand corner beside the Close X box); Some other pop-up opens and choose Online etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- NOW Click OK. This time it &amp;quot;Sticks&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In VS 08 SP1 a new frmwork called &amp;quot;Client Profile frmwork 3.5 sp1&amp;quot; has been provided. &amp;nbsp;can you help me how to provide this frmwork with deployment project(offline installation) or installables?? &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There's one important caveat associated with offline installations of the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 Client Profile. If the target machine does not support the Client Profile, either because it's not an XP machine or because the machine already has a previous version of the Framework installed, the full .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 installer will be downloaded and executed instead.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This means for offline scenarios you'll potentially only gain on installation speed. If that suffices for you as a motivator, continue reading. If not, it might be easier just to roll out the full .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 installer as part of your package. The main scenario for Client Profile is fast web installs where we download while installing, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now to the real stuff. Considering the primary goal of using the Client Profile for web deployment scenarios, Visual Studio 2008 SP1 comes with the &amp;quot;product definition&amp;quot; for an online Client Profile installation. See %ProgramFiles%\microsoft sdks\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\DotNetFx35Client for this definition, which is where the Prerequisites dialog in Visual Studio 2008 SP1 gets its data from.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All this product.xml file tells the bootstrapper is how the executable installer for the Client Profile is called (i.e. DotNetFx35ClientSetup.exe). During build time of your Setup and Deployment Project, that binary gets included in the offline package and copied from the aforementioned location. You can find this online package at &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=8cea6cd1-15bc-4664-b27d-8ceba808b28b&amp;amp;DisplayLang=en"&gt;http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=8cea6cd1-15bc-4664-b27d-8ceba808b28b&amp;amp;DisplayLang=en&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This explains how the online scenario is intended to work. However, as you want to go for an offline installation, you should grab the offline installer from &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=992cffcb-f8ce-41d9-8bd6-31f3e216285c&amp;amp;DisplayLang=en"&gt;http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=992cffcb-f8ce-41d9-8bd6-31f3e216285c&amp;amp;DisplayLang=en&lt;/a&gt; and place it in that folder. &amp;nbsp;You'll have to rename it from DotNetFx35Client.exe to DotNetFx35ClientSetup.exe for Visual Studio to pick it up based on the product.xml file that points to it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Notice the file size of the offline package. This is the combined size of the installers for both the Client Profile, around 25 MB, and the full framework, around 230 MB. To be truly offline and for reasons explained at the beginning of this comment post, we have to include both in the offline package.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Keep in mind this is merely a work-around as the Client Profile was primarily designed and tested for online scenarios. If you have further questions, feel free to contact me directly at bartde at microsoft dot com.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hope this helps,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-Bart&lt;/p&gt;
