thats what i thought, ill just stick with 1.1 SP1 for a while then.

You can stick with it for now. There will be apps released in the future that will require .NET 2.0 (Notebook Hardware Control is one of them that needs it right now).

Hehe...

[prathapml]

Well...
The incompatible-with-each-other problems were supposedly only till the betas. The plan was to have 2.0 compatible with 1.1
But we wouldn't know for sure till we actually see what happens.

[Zxian]

I haven't heard of any conflicts between the two versions. I have heard of people using only .NET 2.0 and running into problems... but then again, I'm not the be-all-and-end-all of info.

Anyways... I made a new installer for English only. It's a bit smaller than the full version, so for those people who need to squeeze every KB out of their UA CDs, this is for you. I've tested it myself without any errors, but as always, let me know if you find any.

Enjoy!

hmmm

You don't need to repackage it, unless I missed something, it will install silently without rebooting with this command:

dotnetfx.exe /q:a /c:"install /l /q"

Worked for my 32bit install. Haven't tested x64 yet, will get to that tomorrow.

[Zxian]

No you don't need to repackage it... but my silent installer is a whole 10KB smaller than the original!!!

Thanks for the silent switch. You might wanna post that in the Applications Installs section for other members.

[staples]

if you want to deploy it via the msi.

expand it
dotnetfx.exe /c /t:"C:\dotnet2\"

get the transform

install it
msiexec /i netfx.msi TRANSFORMS=DOTNET2.MST /qb

thanx staples!!!

There are quite a few programs that don't work with this, only v1.1.

I hope nLite isn't one.

If it is please change it to the new version.

Thats good then.

But I removed v2. LOL

I email a person about his program not working with v2 but it works with v1.1. Could anyone tell me if the following is correct?

Well, it's not really an issue. .NET 2.0 is not compatible with 1.1 -- they're quite fundamentally different. You will need to have .NET 1.1 installed as well. Since you can install it side-by-side with 2.0 then there shouldn't be any problems.

("1.1 or higher", incidentally, just means 1.x (but not 1.0). If they had released a 1.2 it would have worked with that. But 2.0 is an entirely different kettle of fish.)

Just wondering... I downloaded the silent installer and installed it first to test. An additional folder is created inside Microsoft.NET, but I didn't find any shortcuts to the new version (there are links to v1.1 in Administrative Tools but not for v2.0). Is this normal?

so i need to download the redistable framework 2.0 and install it with your switches and there will be no problems? (as if hotfix and SP packs and tweaks?)

i also read some thing about conflicting 1.1 and 2.0 when installed after each other at one moment? could someone tell me more?

also, i have a problem with my slipstreamed framework 1.1, could someone help me with that? http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...71&#entry419571

This is for people with slow internet connections or people who do not want to worry about faulty installers. This is a Patch to change the original DOTNETFX.exe (v2.0) to a silent install suitable for Unattended Windows Installations. All it changes is the command executed to install .NET Framework. It does not even mess with the microsoft digital signature. Enjoy!

Attached File(s)

•  DotNetFXv2.0Patch.exe (9K)
  Number of downloads: 263

Passing the /l argument to install.exe will create a verbose MSI log file in %TEMP%.
If you want to put the log file somewhere else, you can use this:

dotnetfx.exe /q:a /c:"install.exe /q /l X:\logdir\dotnet.log"

If the path to your log file has a space, use this:

dotnetfx.exe /q:a /c:"install.exe /q /l ""X:\dir with space\dotnet.log"""

I'm also slave to the missing icons in the admintools folder, what gives? -Answer : The SDK is required for viewing the security via a GUI.

.NET Framework 2.0 Silent Installer - English Only - 22.3 MB

hi sir!
i am new to this thread ...
i just want to report that the package doesn't seem to work for me via HFSLIP ...
i've read that for some it does but for me, it's otherwise ...

i might de doing something wrong here but i think not ...
i always end up having to install the MS package after installing XP ... apps that require it report needing to install 2.0 for these to work ...

it didn't integrate successfully as some apps still look for an installation of dotnetfx 2 ... apart from it not being present in Add or Remove Programs, this is what i see in the event viewer when i verify:

Product: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 -- Error 1406.Could not write value DW0200 to key \Software\Microsoft\PCHealth\ErrorReporting\DW\Installed. System error . Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft....link/events.asp.

btw, i run 1.1 & 2.0 one after the other (as i have them both in the process of installation via svcpak) ...

looking forward to your feedback ...

thanks much!

install it

Why use the .MST?
the only thing that does is set the public properties ADDEPLOY=1 and REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS
no need for an .MST just use the public properties:

msiexec /i netfx.msi /qb ADDEPLOY=1 REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS
