Hades hath skating rinks! 
I am soooo tempted to download that - any idea how big it is? Chrome just says it's an ASPX file and doesn't give me a total size. And with a 3.5mb/s connection...

Took me a good hour on my 6mb connection, I downloaded it but I cannot figure out what actual type of file it is, tried zip and rar, no joy yet.

Interesting because I got the file "DotNet.msi", not an ASPX file.

What browser are you using?
|
|

Ah! IE does indeed get the name right - but no idea of size, or estimate of completion time. 
Any idea how big it was (I'm trying the Net_4.msi since that's the version I use)?

Only 167MB - not as bad as I was expecting...

Well, source code does compress rather nicely being straight text and all.

Ahh, seems it works just fine in IE, but not in Chrome...
|

Why, I wonder, does that not surprise me?

Strange. You are correct. It's downloads the file content correctly, but give it the wrong filename in Chrome 31.0. Rename the resulting file to "DotNet.msi" and it works correctly.
Well, I guess MS does have a bit of a preference when using browsers on their own web properties.

As other have said, .net isn't open source.
You can use a de-compiler (e.g. http://www.jetbrains.com/decompiler/[^]) to decompile the dlls, it won't give you the original source code, but will let you know what is happening under the hood.

See my reply to OG and Marco, you can get the .NET framework sources from Microsoft "Reference Sources" website.

Do you hear that sound? That sort of crackling/grinding noise? I think that is hell actually freezing over.
What a fascinating modern age we live in!

If you are interested in debugging it, you can download the framework symbol files. More details can be found here[^].

The .Net Framework is not open source code - It's propietary licensed by Microsoft and Microsoft has probably no interest in sharing their code with you. However, there is still the Mono-Framework, which is an open-source, binary-compatible port of the .Net Framework and not associated with Microsoft at all. You can find the Mono-Source code at Github[^].
I hope the Mono-Source code will help you....

While true, not open source, you can download the source for .NET directly from Microsoft here.[^]
The OP's question was already answered in Q&A.

You don't. You create an package installer for it.
Read this[^]
|
|
|
|
|
You could do this using programming that offer functions like InstallHinfSection[^].
