ASP.NET 3.5 on Windows 2000

Question

I am trying to get an ASP.NET 3.5 site to run on a Windows 2000 machine (not my idea!!!) but am having some problems. I have been working through copying required DLL files from C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\v3.5 into my app bin directory. This succesfully got me past the "assembly not found" errors.

However, I am now getting the following error.

Compiler executable file csc.exe cannot be found"

How can I fix this? It is primarily LINQ functionality I am looking to utilise.

You are going to have many issues as .NET 3.5 is not supported on Windows 2000 (see System Requirements).
