Here's the link for downloading .NET 2.0 : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Save it to disk and install from there.
You may be able to install over the original one.

Let .NET 3.0 alone for now.

For customers that already have the .NET Framework 2.0 installed, this .NET Framework 3.0 redistributable package installs only the new Windows Vista components. This ensures that any .NET Framework 2.0-based applications work seamlessly when the .NET Framework 3.0 is installed, with no application migration or updates of any kind required
