Where can I download the latest ngen.exe?

.net ngen

Solution 1

The .NET Runtime itself has been upgraded with what amounts to a "service pack" in the 3.5 version. If you have .NET 3.5 installed on that box, you are running the latest version of NGEN, even if the version number is 2.0.50727. Check out this article for more details:

Solution 2

ngen.exe is stored in framework installation path

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 or C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322

My passion is designing and programming really fun and creative games, which I have been doing for about as long as I can remember. My portfolio of personal, team, school, and professional projects contains a variety of games ranging from a multiplayer tank arcade game to a game about Matryoshka dolls to a cooperative platformer in which two players must communicate with each other by puppeteering their characters. I am a generalist programmer highly proficient in C++, C#, Python, and Java. I have experience with OpenGL, DirectX, game networking, multithreading, physics engines, user interface implementation and design, AI, pathfinding, level design tools, and iPhone programming. I am also familiar with game engines Unity3D and Panda3D. My past professional experience includes a game engineer job at Schell Games, an internship at Walt Disney Imagineering (where I prototyped new interactive technologies), and two years at Aid Networks (where I wrote firmware, user interfaces, and server software for patient monitoring devices). I have a Master of Entertainment Technology degree from Carnegie Mellon University as well as a B.S. in Computer Science and a B.A. in Theatre Performance from the University of Maryland.

I am using ngen.exe (the .Net Native Image Generator) version 2.0.50727.312. Is this the latest version? If not, where can I download the latest version? This page on msdn does not appear to have a link to a download. If it matters, I need ngen.exe for .Net Framework 3.5.
