.NET 3.5 SP1 is a disaster

What updates are installed?

I don't know, I just googled to find out why a 29 MB file is 256 when you download the full install, and why it's so slow.

So, .NET 3.5 SP1 can take an hour to install because it ships with a ton of windows updates ( which is why a 29 MB install ships as 256 MB ). Result ? We're not shipping SP1 with our brand new product, we're just shipping .NET 3.5.

We had a load of issues with 3.5 SP1 breaking things and had to install some extra hotfix for it. It might be this update for 3.5 SP1/[^] but not sure. But we had various problems with CruiseControl, SQL Server 2005 and IIS which we think the SP1 may have caused. Someone else at work was dealing with it so I'm not sure if the update resolved them.

Full install includes components for both x86 and x64 (x64 distro is larger, by the way). I'd like to see the list of updates it installs.

John! Christian! Stop fooling around using each other's accounts, please!

No, the Titanic striking an iceberg was a disaster. The starvation in Darfur is a disaster. .Net anything is an annoyance at best.
fair enough. .NET 3.5 SP1 is another example of poor to no planning on the part of Microsoft. An attempt to push a lot of service pack stuff out in side it, will simply mean most people won't adopt it at all.

FYI, that's the one that will be distributed with Win7.

Think of all the hours of online download time you'd save your customers, though! It's got to be faster to do it from a CD. Is there any way to separate the updates from the .NET 3.5 package and make it a separate, optional installation? No, Microsoft didn't think of that? Amazing...

Bollocks, I've installed it on 100+ computers, 20 minutes maximum. You must have a screwed up PC.

Same here no problems.
