Where can I download the latest ngen.exe?

Tags:

.net

ngen

I am using ngen.exe (the .Net Native Image Generator) version 2.0.50727.312. Is this the latest version? If not, where can I download the latest version? This page on msdn does not appear to have a link to a download. If it matters, I need ngen.exe for .Net Framework 3.5.
