2. Installing the .NET Framework 2.0 Software Development Kit (SDK) (x86)
Installation instructions for the software development kit
The .NET Framework 2.0 Software Development Kit (SDK) is the second file that needs to be installed. The SDK allows us to develop .NET 2.0 Framework applications, including ASP.NET 2.0 web applications. To install the SDK, download the installation file (setup.exe) from the following link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=FE6F2099-B7B4-4F47-A244-C96D69C35DEC&displaylang=en
Like the first file, once the installation file is downloaded, double click on it to start the installation process.
In the next step, select all the options to install the Framework completely.
After installing these two files, the next logical step is to download and install Visual C# 2005 Express Edition and SQL Sever 2005 Express Edition. The installation process of these programs are described in Appendix `B'.
