Whenever I install the .NET framework in a new Windows installation there is a huge number of updates to download from Windows Update.
I go through the Windows Update process once, reboot, then find there's more. Install every update again, reboot - oh wait, there's still more .NET framework updates. Install them, reboot again - but wait, there's still more! After the third time it seems to be done, but it's a huge waste of time, because it downloads about 3x the size of the original installer and has to ngen everything for every update as well. This is on XP x64, but I'm pretty sure even on Windows 7 there are at least 2 "rounds" of updates, each as big as the original installer.
Where could I download the complete installer that would install the latest version of .NET framework with all critical updates released at that time without any further downloads? (Even if it's "unofficial".)
