- Are .NET Framework 3.5 and Framework 3.5 redistributable package same?
nothing
Answers
- Both refers to the same file
dotNetFx35setup.exe
This is a 2 mb file, which will download the complete package through internet. The complete offline installer will be around 200-300mb in size.Thanks,

Hi Vallayil,
Just as A.m.a.L mentioned:
dotNetFx35setup.exe - .NET Framework 3.5 bootstrapper installer
Bootstrapper is a very lightweight setup package, which determines what needs to be installed and attempts to download these required components from the web during installation.
dotnetfx35.exe - .NET Framework 3.5 full redistributable package
Full package is a stand-alone installer package that contains all required components to deploy different platforms.
Hope this answers your question. If you have any further concern, please feel free to let me know.
Thanks
