i've managed to glean from microsoft.com and from http://unattended.sourceforge.net/installers.html which says you can silently install Net Framework with the following Run dotnetfx.exe /q /c:"install /q" to perform a silent installation. my concern is that i'm using RunOnce
Ex:

REG ADD %KEY%\026 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\dotnetfw.exe /q /c:"install /q" /f

i know i have to put in "and / somewhere but don't know where...help!
Thankx

If you look around (search) you will find a nice silent .net fw 1.1 sp1 installer on this forum. No switches needed or anything.

keyword: RyanVM

but like stated earlier, the one that is posted would be better; as it has all the sp1 update to it.

I cannot seem to download anything from RYANS site. i can goto ftp.microft.com for example. Not sure whats going on.

Make sure you're using Passive mode for FTP transfers (use the help files of your web browser if you don't know what that is)

EDIT: It's also available for download from the MSFN Unattended site. But I'm sure you already knew that since you've surely read that site before posting redundant questions in the forum . Since you've apparently forgotten what you already read, here's a link to "refresh" your memory:

Seriously, DOES ANYONE EVER BOTHER TO READ THE MSFN UNATTENDED SITE BEFORE POSTING HERE?

FWIW, your link is no longer valid, but I'm sure you knew that...

Well, given that the post was made three months ago...

Also, my site is up and running on my new host, so you can just download it from there. I'll be uploading shortly a new version which includes last week's security update as well.
