Take the 2-minute tour ×  As I follow it, there's a full
installer for .NET 3.5   And a .NET 3.5 SP1 installer   Also as
I follow it, the first of those two links is what you use when
you have, say, a clean XP machine with no previous versions of
.NET on it (or at least nothing past 1.1). The second link is
what you use if you have .NET 3.5 already and just need .NET 3.5
SP1 on top of it.  Is there an installer that assumes you have
no previous version of .NET on your machine but also has .NET
3.5 SP1 as well? Or am I wrong and that second link does that?
