Is this possible?

If so, how?

It's already included as part of the operating system, you don't need to install it.

Of which 2.0 is a part.

Am trying to Install the Channel 4 On-Demand client in VIsta, it reports that 2.0 isnt installed...

Hence why I need a way of installing that over 3.0

3.0 is just 2.0 with some additional libraries. Not really sure why they called it 3.0 as it's basically just a "bonus pack" of extra programming libraries.

If some software is saying 2.0 isn't installed then it's probably just the install program throwing a fit because it's running on Vista. 90% of compatibility problems are caused, unfortunately, by the install program being too restrictive.

40d doesn't work with vista. It won't even let me download it through vista as it fails the test to see if it will work on my pc.

Used my xp download and got the same issue as you will .net 2.0 not being installed.
