Which Net Frameworks Version for XP 64-bit

Question

I am trying to install new software (PhaseOne.com, Capture One Pro 5) but before I can do so, I must install Net Frameworks. The install never works.

I read the other note about solving the problem http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/netfxsetup/thread/2f093bcd-8941-4d7f-85e7-fa5644814e36 but have a question.

Which version is intended for Windows XP pro, 64-bit. When I google it, I always find Microsoft sites with version 2. But that seems to be an old version. Is that necessary or does version 3.5 work with my OS?

Download details: .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable ...

1. Important: Make sure you have the latest service pack and critical updates for the version of Windows on the computer. To look for recent updates, visit Windows Update. In addition, make sure you have Windows Installer 3.1 installed before you install this service pack
   
2. Click the Download button on this page to start the download
   
3. To save the download to your computer for installation at a later time, click Save.
   
4. To cancel the installation, click Cancel.

Now, I am totally confused
