I don't know if .Net 3.0 will work on Windows2003 Server. Here are the
instructions, though. You will want to be running SP-1 of Visual Studio
2005.
You can check the links below for requirements and see if they will run on
Windows2003 Server.
Installing the Software Required to Work With .Net 3.0 Applications
To configure your computer so that you can work with WPF you should follow
these steps:
1. WPF, WCF, and WF require Version 3.0 of the .NET Framework. While
this automatically comes with Windows Vista, if you are using Windows XP
you will have to download the installable from the Microsoft Website.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...0B-F857-4A14-83F5-25634C3BF043&displaylang=en
Once this has been installed you should see an entry at
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework which reads "v3.0".
2. Download and install the Windows SDK. This is required in order to
provide the help files. You should do this before installing the extensions
to Visual Studio (Step 3 below) because the help files must be present on
your computer in order for them to be linked to Visual Studio. Of course
you will find it much more convenient for help to be available just by
pressing F1 with a particular term highlighted rather than being forced to
manually open the help file and to search for a particular term via the
search box.
The Windows SDK for can be downloaded from the following location.

Even though this SDK is labeled "Windows SDK for Windows Vista", when you
begin to install it, one of the screens indicates that it is also the
correct version for Windows XP, provided that you already have Service Pack
2 installed.
3. If you want to develop WCF and WPF applications, you will need to
install the Visual Studio 2005 Extensions for WCF and WPF. Even if you are
running Windows Vista.

4. For WPF, to verify that you have correctly followed these
instructions, open Visual Studio and select Create a new Project. Look for
an entry below the C# or VB node in the treeview of project types which
reads "NET Framework 3.0". When you select this entry you should see in the
details pane to the right an entry under "Visual Studio installed
templates" called Windows Application (WPF). Create a new application and
select a term which is WPF related (eg. Application or Window). Press the
F1 key and if the correct context sensitive help comes up, you can be
confident that you have succeeded. Congratulations!
5. Here's the link to the Windows Workflow Foundation extensions for Visual
Studio 2005

Good luck.
