I cannot find anywhere to download and install .NET40 with sources file
It was a while ago downloadable from:
http://referencesource.microsoft.com/netframework.aspx
but that link is dead in the meantime.

Original file name: net_4.msi file size:167MB

I know there are newer versions, still I am looking for this exact version
to download and install.

I tried to find that old archive with sources, but not succeed yet. I am sure that some developers had downloaded it and still kept it in their PC. I will be very grateful if someone can share/upload that source with me.

Thanks

Microsoft doesn't made the source downloadable in a way you download installers...
There are two source online however to examine the source...
Reference Source[^]
GitHub - Microsoft/dotnet: dotnet is the official home of .NET on GitHub. It's a great starting point to find many .NET OSS projects from Microsoft and the community, including many that are part of the .NET Foundation.[^]
