Executables found in HFSVCPACK will be installed without switches so this folder is best used for silent/switchless installers; "normal" executables can also be placed in this folder but then you'll have to follow their installation wizard during Windows setup.

I have made at least three posts in this exact forum linking to RogueSpear's .NET 2.0 installer. Please search more closely before asking.

I found that link the other day in another post on this forum -- don't remember if it was you or someone else. But just like the other one, I get a page with a login box. So I went to that forum's main page and did a search for "framework" and for "net", neither of which got me what I was looking for. So I suppose it isn't located in a thread of its own. I also went to the root URL (main site) and couldn't find it there either.

FOLDERS
----------------------

10- create folder in Partition c: call it netfx.
11- create 3 subfolder in netfx call them fx1, fx2 and temp.


.NET framework v1.1
----------------------

12- run "dotnetfx1.exe" with the "/C" switch for extracting the contents to C:\netfx\temp folder.
13- run "NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe" with the "/XP" switch, a dialog box asking you where to save the MSP file, extract it to C:\netfx\temp folder.
14- run "NDP1.1sp1-KB886903-X86.exe" with the "/XP" switch, a dialog box asking you where to save the MSP file, extract it to C:\netfx\temp folder.
15- open your command prompt and type these instructions:

16(optional)- Extract the contents of language1.exe with the "/C" switch, a dialog box asking you where to save the files, extract them to C:\netfx\fx1\language

And Now
---------
You have the updated pack for 1.1 net framework in C:\netfx\fx1, delete all the contents in C:\netfx\temp, because we need a clean temp directory for integrate the hotfix for 2.0 net framework.

.NET framework v2.0
----------------------

17- run "dotnetfx2.exe" with the "/C" switch for extracting the contents to C:\netfx\temp folder.
18- run "NDP20-KB917283-X86.exe" with the "/EXTRACT" switch, a dialog box asking you where to save the MSP file, extract it to C:\netfx\temp folder.
19- run "NDP20-KB922770-X86.exe" with the "/EXTRACT" switch, a dialog box asking you where to save the MSP file, extract it to C:\netfx\temp folder.
20- open your command prompt and type these instructions:


And Now
---------
You have the updated pack for 1.1 net framework in C:\netfx\fx1, and 2.0 net framework in C:\netfx\fx2.
Delete the directory C:\netfx\temp with all inside contents, we don't need it at all.

Finalising
-------------

21- EXTRACT sleep.zip to directory c:\netfx\
22- Create a file named "inst.bat" and paste this code, NOTE: There is a line for 1.1 language pack that can be removed.



23- now you have in directory c:\netfx 2 folders and 2 files ( fx1,fx2,sleep.exe,inst.bat )
24- to do the rest you MUST have Winrar
25- add this "fx1 - fx2 - sleep.exe - inst.bat" to archive
26- in general select creat sfx archive
27- in advanced select sfx option
A-- PATH TO EXTRACT ENTER %SystemRoot%\system32\netfx
B-- RUN AFTER EXTRACTION %SystemRoot%\system32\netfx\inst.bat
C-- goto modes select 1- hide all 2- overwrite all files

<<THE CODE WILL BE LIKE>>
----------------------------------------------------------
;The comment below contains SFX script commands

Path=%SystemRoot%\system32\netfx
SavePath
Setup=%SystemRoot%\system32\netfx\z.bat
Silent=1
Overwrite=1
----------------------------------------------------------

D-- Hit OK and a sfx file will create, rename it to netfx.exe


Now you can add the file netfx.exe to HFSLIP\HFSVCPACK, for installing net framework contents!!!

Thanks for providing those instructions, but it would be more appropriate to link to them than to copy them onto the website.

@Tomcat, like Yzöwl noted, it is necessary to register on RogueSpear's forums. I don't really see what the concern is. The files are located in the linked forum under the thread "RogueSpear's Runtime Collection".

..... So this is my question: there is a way, in hfslip directory, to install this language pack at first logon like "RunOnceEx.cmd" (http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/59/) do?

Yes, you can create a cmd file and place it into the HFSVCPACK folder. HFSLIP will parse the CMD file at T-13. You can also place REG and INF files in the same folder and HFSLIP will parse them at T-13 too. Hope this helps.

@S3pHiroTh: give this a shot...

Is there a problem with using RyanVM's .NET1 and .NET2 silent installers in HFSVCPACK (linked from here), that I should be aware of? They appear to be up to date, at least Windows Update seems to think so. Is it that they are limited to U.S. English? Is it that some progress bars fly by so it's not completely silent? Is it that they are too slow?
