Since this is not available yet on the jQuery home page, here is a way to get the file as it stands today:

1) Download MVC 2 Realease Canditate 2 from here (file name: AspNetMVC2_RC2_VS2008.exe)

2) Copy this file to somewhere “easy” to use with a DOS Prompt, I copied AspNetMVC2_RC2_VS2008.exe to “C:\Temp\MVC2RC2\”

3) Use a program like 7-zip or WinRar to extract the .exe to this folder using the “Extract Here” option (screenshot)

4) Open up a command prompt and type to get to this folder created by the extraction:

cd "C:\Temp\MVC2RC2\mvctoolsvs2008"

5) Type this MS DOS command (referenced from this blog post), when it’s complete, close the command window:

msiexec /a vs2008toolsmvc2.msi /qb TARGETDIR=C:\Temp\MVC2RC2\Extract

6) Back in windows explorer, you should be able to navigate to “C:\Temp\MVC2RC2\Extract\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET MVC 2\VisualStudio_PROJ_DIR\CSharp\Web\1033″, where there is a zip file named “EmptyMvcWebApplicationProjectTemplatev2.0.cs.zip”

7) Inside that zip file is “scripts/jquery-1.4.1-vsdoc.js”….

Enjoy!
