QUOTE (RogueSpear @ Sep 12 2006, 05:06 PM)

For quite some time I did have a warning to NOT run any of the runtimes installers that contain .NET 2.0 from anywhere other than svcpack. Then I received several reports from people that they tried it on an existing machine and it worked so... I removed the warning.

The issue is that normally, you cannot install .NET 2.0 from svcpack. In order to do this you need to make a registry change, install .NET 2.0, then change the registry back to the way it was. In theory it should all work out no matter where you install it from, but I did have problems myself; hence the warning.

I cannot say this for sure, but my guess is that if something interrupts the install process, the registry setting modified will not get changed back to it's original setting and this is what's screwing things up. I'll be sure to put the warning message back in again as there is obviously great potential for this to not work from anywhere other than svcpack.

Is it installable from SVCPACK only due to these entries in your Install.cmd?

QUOTE ( Install.cmd )

reg delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\PCHealth\ErrorReporting\DW /f
reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup /v SystemSetupInProgress /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
.

.
reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup /v SystemSetupInProgress /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

If so (I'm sure it is!), can't you just use sort of IF or FOR statement to set
SystemSetupInProgress to 0 if it's found to be 1? Then you set it to 1 after
installation finishes.
This routine fits installation from SVCPACK.

For the package to work from other places (other than SVCPACK), if SystemSetupInProgress
is found to be 0, let it be 0 and continue installation.
This routine fits installation from other points.

I hope you get my right 'cause, this way, your package is installable everywhere.

I've considered adding that functionality to the installers, but then it would require a fair amount of testing. Something I don't have time for at the moment. Perhaps sometime down the road.

Are you talking about 0_NET-VJ-VC-VB-WSE-JRE-ISS.exe? (AIO Runtimes)

If so, and you are using SVCPACK method in your UACD, just put the file in you SVCPACK folder.
Add it to your SVCPACK.INF.

That's it!

However, I just renamed it to NET20.

@ RogueSpear

The FOR statement suggested here is adapted from a post by Ctrl-X.

I tested the statement but not the package yet.

However, I'm willing to test the package from SVCPACK with this modified CMD.

I lack two things: the way you compress the package and your ICON.

If you are willing to provide them, I'll do the test today.

@mazin, that little bit of batch you posted works great. I've integrated the new 922770 hotfix into .NET 2.0 as well. Did tests from both svcpack and post install and everything is perfect. I should have updates of all of my various runtime installers posted by later tonight.

I appreciate you bringing the batch code from Ctrl-X to my attention. It made my life a bit easier

and I'll make sure you both are given proper credit.

RogueSpear is much to busy maintaining others computers
to have time to stop making these. It would increase his workload by 1000% !

He just relocated his base operations to his own forums which are found here:
