I downloaded the switchless version of Net Framework 1.1 from RyanVm's website, however upon instillation it still gives me the option "Do you wish to install Net. Framework" I dont want this I just want it to install and USSF cannot find a silent install. Could someone plz help me out.

ryanvm has his own forum. and he has instructions on how to install his netframework

as i recall his is totally silent without a gui

why not just download .Net Framework 1.1 and run it with the parameter:

dotnetfx.exe /q:a /c:"install /l /q"

not quite sure what exactly every switch does, but works for me.

RyanVM's is much better, already has updates, and is switchless.........

You're running the EXE without switches? I'm using the exact same EXE and it doesn't give any prompts...

Yea this was a while ago I checked your site and noticed the update, however I was on about the last Framework 1.1 it gave me a prompt.

i dont think so. i installed and no prompt for the last and previous netfx packs from ryan.

Well I assure you I got a prompt with the previous version!

Here comes a NET Framework 2.0 beta 2 - need a silent installer for ua XP.

Anybody know the keys to it ?

I think so. I got the same thing as well. I just replaced an older version of the dotnetfx.exe with the new one (june 5th, I think) and now I'm getting all the prompts one would get on a manual install where it used to be unattended. Just checked his forum and there's no info on this issue yet.

Just tried to do a silent install on my main machine, and it bombs. There's something definitely something strange with this release...

the .NET FrameWork 2.0 Beta2 (from Visual Studio 2005 Beta2) is in the same format of .NET FrameWork 1.1 ... So you can use the officials switchs (I don't remember but Bi0haZarD says dotnetfx.exe /q:a /c:"install /l /q" .. try it .

Goodbye.

Sorry for bumping this thread

I'm trying to use the above line for installing Framework Beta 2.0:



What am I doing wrong? Whenever I test it, it says it has too many parameters

Please help

You need to escape the "s I'd say

i.e. the ones inside the command line

Sorry for replying extremely late, could you please be more specific? or give an example that I can test with please? Thanks

I've put *** around the characters I've added to your example above, as I cant bold them within this code tag .

I cant remember in this coding way of things whether its a \ or a ^ (even ^^)

Try each one and post back which one (if any of them) works

Cheers

It didn't work

I've used AutoIT as an alternative method , thanks for the help!
