Answering my own question, the reason has been announced: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1s1bfci

Does anyone know if the UDC updater at xdot.tk will be updated with the final XP updates? It seems as if the last time it was updated was back in February.

After a long day of hair pulling, I believe I have a working .net 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, 3.5 installer. At least, Windows Update does not report any unmet updates, and netfx_setupverifier_new doesn't report any problems. Fair warning, I'm a Unix guy and know not of this Windows stuff. I'm writing this in the hopes that it might be helpful to someone else. If anyone who knows better wants to check my work, I would surely appreciate it! The list of files, and where to get them if not obvious. Note that I have thrown a 'z' in to the 7-digit names to get them to install in the proper order. Not sure this is strictly necessary in all cases, but it can't hurt. Note that you cannot insert a leading '0'. Don't even think about it. Files are extracted with IExpress -- search the thread for the tutorial PDF on how to extract them.
