did those instructions actually work?

Well its been posted precisely because of some testing on the part of some people, and that they trust you would know to fix any small problems you'd encounter along the way. If you find it too difficult to follow/implement, I'd recommend downloading RyanVM's package (RAR, already slip-streamed).

All the best for carrying it out, and post back on any problems you might encounter (with full DETAILS), and solutions for them (if you yourself discover what the solution is).

i've already got the netfxsp1.rar
how do i set it to silently run the sfx?

That is the option selected inside winrar itself, when you made the archive.

ok, i make a self extracting exe (netfxsp1.exe). what do i put in my start.cmd? sorry i'm such a noob

[MHz]

Your SFX should have something like this in its instructions, in the archive.

Silent=1
Overwrite=2

All you should have to do, is run it from your batch file with no switches. As they are set in the SFX.

[ihaveabu]

u mean something like this:

Yes,

You may not need savepath, that just writes to registry.

path could also be maybe %temp% ?

5. Clean the directory so sp1.msp, data1.cab, and netfx.msi are the only files (3 files) in the directory.


Where is this data1.cab ? I can not locate it.

[MHz]

Winrar has a temp option. so it extract to your temp dir, executes your setup, then deletes the temp file that it created, when install has completed. Makes it clean then.

oh! ok. as long as it gets deleted. i'll do that then. thanks!

[MHz]

add switches into

setup = netfx.msi /qn

in winrar. guessed them switches.

Where is that cab file?

[MHz]

Comment tab in winrar should look like this.

;The comment below contains SFX script commands

Setup=netfx.msi /qn
TempMode
Silent=1
Overwrite=1

SP1 needs the cabinet file from the installation routine: netfx1.cab

Slip up with naming?

Thanks Jeronimo

[evilvoice]

has anyone been able to utilize this in svcpack.inf? Also, I think its been said that there is an error when using winrar temp extract (extracting to a temp dir)...

[canuckerfan]

One question... how'd you get an admin install of .NET Framework 1.1 Redist. I looked on the first page, but could not figure it out. Can anyone help me?

[MHz]

@canuckerfan

Type msiexec /a netfx.msi


@evilvoice

Tested SFX rar with Windows install using tempmode. No problems.

[MHz]

@canuckerfan

Sorry.

Type msiexec /a netfx.msi TARGETDIR="C:\netfx"

[canuckerfan]

Thanks for the help guys. I think I got it.

Only thing is, I don't have a data1.cab in my dotnetfx folder, only a netfx1.cab file. Should it be like this?

[MHz]

netfx1.cab
