I have been working with HFSLIP to slipstream updates into a Windows 2000 installation CD. I have succeded in getting all updates included into one installation CD with IE 6. The only updates I am having trouble with are all the .Net Framework Updates which require 3 restarts.

These updates are: MS .Net Framework 2.0 (KB829019)
MS .Net Framework 1.1 (KB886903)
MS .Net Framework 1.1 SP1 (KB867460, i think)
Security Update MS .Net Framework 1.1 SP1 (KB886903)

Just use switchless installers from http://ryanvm.msfn.org/

SURGE, don't use RyanVM's .NET 2.0 installer. As a matter of fact, don't use anyone's. .NET 2.0 cannot be slipstreamed/integrated via SVCPACK or GUIRunOnce like the other installers. They will not work.

However, I believe that Zxian's installer for .NET 2.0 does in fact work. You'd have to search for it; I don't have an exact link ready for you.

Thanks for you help. I'll try that out.

I think this is it. http://www.msfn.org/board/lofiversion/index.php/t59211.html

Thanks for the Link, I tried to use switchless installers from http://ryanvm.msfn.org/ and they did not work in my HFSlip. I really appreciate the help. I'll have to spend some time looking at this Forum:

Again thank you very much everyone.

Which folder did you put those in? I'm using his switchless .NET 1.1, Reader 7.0.7 and JRE 1.5.0_06 installers without problem.

And make sure you read my post about not using RyanVM's .NET 2.0 installer. His installers should be put in HFSVPK (or HFSVCPACK if using the latest test release).

hi!

try this link: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...211#entry411281 for the dotnet2 silent installer ...
this didn't work for me though ...

for the dotnetfx1.1 though, it worked like a charm ... check it from here: http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/

RyanVM's installers all work fine(in HFSVCPACK). The problem is on the user's end - they need to have Windows Installer 3.1 in their OS prior to installing .net2.0. It seems currently HFSLIP is the only tool that lets you do this? I know nLite can't.

I've tried it 3 times so far(Win2k only), and it works flawlessly every time.

I could be wrong, but I believe I tried RyanVM's .NET 2.0 installer once with HFSLIP. Windows Installer 3.1 was included too, of course. It didn't work. That's why I used Zxian's installer.

Now I just don't bother with 2.0 anymore because I don't have any programs that require it. Not to mention that its installation takes awfully long....

.net2.0 install didn't take that long on my system, but I guess I'm not following the rules. I don't know when you tried it, but it's possible that he updated the silent installer or something. It's also possible that slipstreaming USP5.1 had some positive effect.
