Try the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Redistributable Package page. Don't press the Download button! About half way down the page is a paragraph that says:

If you have troubles with the download manager, you can download the entire package for x86 or for x64 which are both .EXE files.

Click on the x86 link and it will download the whole 51MB package as an EXE.

(search in microsoft.com for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Redistributable if URL does not work)

Look 2/3rds way down for this sentence
"If you have troubles with the download manager, you can download the entire package for x86 or for x64 which are both .EXE files. "

You'll find a link for the exe you require. (~50MB)

that is a trick by MS to NOT get you what you wanted. The redist is supposed to be 100% whole. This one isn't for some reason.
