How to get .NET 4.x on Windows 2000?

[sunryze]

So I've been just looking around and working on getting the most modern Windows 2000 virtual machine as possible, but I haven't been able to find a way to get .NET 4.x working on 2000. Any way for this?

As far as I know, there's not .net 4.5 and newer for Windows XP and older. If you want to improve your experience with Win2000, don't forget to install BWC's Extended Kernel.

You can use the version of .NET 4 that Blackwingcat provides on his site. It will not work with vanilla 2000 though.
