Problem installing NET Framework in Unattended Mode via cmd files

[ravisunny2]

I tried to mimic the order used by Microsoft Update.

All .NET Framework updates (optional & critical) were placed in E:\NF, in 4 directories

e:\NF\01_Optional\

e:\NF\02_Critical\

e:\NF\03_Critical\

e:\NF\04_Critical\

I created 4 cmd files to apply the updates. The cmd files were chained together, to run sequentially.

There seemed to be no obvious errors, but at the end of the run, the Windows Updates icon states that updates are available to download and install. Obviously some updates did not register.

Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong ?

I prefer using chained cmd files, because I can just add another cmd file when a new update materializes.

okay, let me try this differently.

I want to do an unattended install of NET Framework (1.1 - 4.0) on win xp sp3.

Can someone tell me the right order to install the different versions ?

[calvinljh]

try this command, 100% working fine

1) Extract NetFrame v2.0 & v3.5 to folder

2) DO NOT EXTRACT ANY Netframe v4.0 ( because it does not work, has to be download version to run)

Example:-

ECHO Installing Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0...

e:\NF\net2\install.exe /qb!

ECHO Installing Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework v3.5 SP1

e:\NF\netfsp\dotNetFx35setup.exe /q /norestart

ECHO Installing Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0...

e:\NF\Net4.exe /passive /norestart

or

REG ADD %KEY%\0290 /VE /D "Installing NetFrameWork v2.0..." /f

REG ADD %KEY%\0290 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\App\net2\install.exe /qb!" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\0340 /VE /D "Installing NetFrameWork v3.5 SP1" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\0340 /V 2 /D "%systemdrive%\App\netfsp\dotNetFx35setup.exe /q /norestart" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\0390 /VE /D "Install NetframeWork 4.0..." /f

REG ADD %KEY%\0390 /V 3 /D "%systemdrive%\App\Net4.exe /passive /norestart" /f

Thanks, calvinljh.

I'll give it a try and get back to you.

As far as I know, the dotnetfx35.exe full redistributable package (231MB) already contains .NET 2.0SP2, as well as .NET 3.0 and .NET 3.5SP1.

I had used dotnetfx35_x86.exe from the catalogue and renamed it.

I do have the dotnetfx35.exe full redistributable package. I will use this in the next try.
