Is it possible to manually install the .Net 2.0 framework?  What I mean is
can I simply copy the framework onto a machine that does not allow
installing software?  I already have 1.1 installed.

Hello,

no, you can't do this. What you can do, however, is to install the framework
silently (with no user interaction). There is a command line switch for
that.

Why don't you want to install it normally?

Best regards,
Henning Krause

I doubt it is possible to do that, reason being the installer does a number
of additional things such as writing to the registry, manipulating the
control panel and IIS, registering performance counters, etc.

But you can install it silently, either by using command line switches or
through group policy installation

Thanks.

Looks like I'll have to convince our IT people to install it. :(

Can you? Probably. Is it worth the research time? NOt a chance.

In order to install manually, you would have to load up al the bits.
Register the COM DLLs that undergird the framework, ngen the assemblies that
require ngen and put assemblies in the GAC. This is, of course, provided you
have signed bits already. How long will it take you to get it right? Your
guess is as good as mine.
