4. Install Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0

5. Install Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0

6. Now go to : Start>All Programs> Windows Update

7. Install all the updates that is displayed.

Thanks for this recipe.
It gave me a thought and I tried a modified version of the recipe.
I turned off "automatic updates" completely.
I ran "dotnetfx.exe".
Next, I rebooted.
Then, I downloaded and applied "Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0"
Then, I reactivated "automatic updates"

What if I don't actually want to install .net?

Is there anyway to prevent this from downloading? I've already removed the .net framework.
