For future reference...I highly doubt that any rom on this site doesn't contain .net 3.5. There are several programs that require this and
afaik it runs all programs that are compatible with .net 2.0. That does suck that you spent all day trying to install it. My only question is why? Was there a program you wanted to install that said it needed it? if so did you ever try to install it to see if it worked or were you still on step 1.) install .net 3.5? either way, you know now that it does indeed have .net 3.5 installed.
