Can I safely download and install .Net framework 3.5 SP1 without requiring my customers to upgrade their .Net Framework distributable?
EDIT: And without changing my build script
EDIT: I’m currently running 3.5

From hanselman,
On the .NET 3.5 side of things, since this is an SP (Service Pack), yes, some stuff goes in your GAC and gets changed. However, the changes are completely additive. That means if an API’s method signature has changed, that’s a bug that we need to fix. It will be a fully compatible service pack release. It shouldn’t break any of your existing code.
