Dogway,
When looking at some of the logs and error messages you are receiving I have to wonder what you are trying to accomplish by using 3rd party tools for your deployment that you wouldn’t be able to from the available Microsoft tools.

Winoutreach5,
When looking at your replies I have to wonder if you are actually providing any specific solution to specific problems or only some general pushing towards using only MS tools and upgrading to latest MS Operating System versions, and the generic notion that MDT based deployments can fix *everything*.

The case at hand is - seemingly - an issue originated by the "wrong" behaviour of some MS original updates, connected with "localized versions".

Does MDT deployment "automagically" fix such problematic "localized version" updates?

I think I got a hint of the causes of the first issue with .NET Framework.
I got to know of it by chance, it happens to be that after .NET installation hotfixes and assemblies keep compiling in background, first GDR, then LDR hotfixes. it's when LDR (I guess) hotfixes when I get those warnings and errors on Event Viewer.
I knew that in order to prevent background procesing I should execute ngen.exe and do all the hotfixes GDR and LDR at one shot just after .NET install, so there's not interruption or possible conflicts with other components.

I run it like this:

start /wait ngen.exe ExecuteQueuedItems /nologo /silent
start /wait ngen.exe Update /nologo /silent

is it correct (order, flags)?

what I get afterwards are not very promising logs, since it is waaaaaaay over my head, I post them here in case you can help to know what's happening. Mind you that this is a fresh WindowsXP install, so there shouldn't be any errors as far as I'm concerned.
ngen.exe logs

can someone help me?
are the ngen calls correct?, are the ngen logs normal?
my WINDOWS\inf folder weights 185Mb (XP x64), and it's full of folders that contain pretty much the same subfolders, like:

ASP
ASP.NET_2.0
ASP
ASP.NET_64_2.0
aspnet_state
MSDTC Bridge 3.0.0
ServiceModelEndpoint 3.0.0
ServiceModelOperation 3.0.0
ServiceModelService 3.0.0
SMSvcHost 3.0.0
Windows Workflow Foundation 3.0.0
