Updated again...
Fixed support for Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Portuguese and Portuguese Brazil language packs for .NET 2.0 SP1, .NET 3.0 SP1 and .NET 3.5.

@fric
You're welcome

[ronmanp]

wow good job !

I have a question... I made a merged switchless installer of .net 1.1+sp1 etc , + .net 3.5 + language packs and I understand I need to run it at runonceex or guilogon but will it show a progress bar ? Because the user wont know why the pc is working so hard.

ps: escuse my english lol

[Tomcat76]

Yes. I have even changed the installation method of the XML Paper Specification and the Windows Imaging Component updates (part of .NET 3.0) to passive so you can follow the progress on those as well.

[Innocent Devil]

wen i use only dotnetfx.exe and dotnetfx53.exe with _SNM.ini having MERGE_FRAMEWORKS=12
it doent extract .NET 2.0 from dotnetfx35.exe and making DNF11_20.exe having .net 1.1 only! :-/

[Tomcat76]

You can now use dotnetfx.exe and dotnetfx35.exe with the latest version of SNM.

[XibaD]

Little doubt here: Does DNF35.exe need to be installed at GUIRUNONCE too?

[Tomcat76]

I just tested .NET 3.0 SP1 at T-13 (hadn't done that yet) and it seems MS have fixed the problem with the WebClient service. But there are still quite a few errors in the Event Log so it's better to install it at first user logon. Consequently, .NET 3.5 will have to be installed at first user logon as well.

I have problems here at T13 install.

If I install .net 1.1 first then 3.0 and 3.5 don't install. And if I install 2.0 + 3.0 + 3.5 first the 1.1 don't install...

What I made wrong?

Files used:
dotnetfx.exe
langpack.exe (PT-BR)
NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe
NDP1.1sp1-KB928366-X86.exe
dotnetfx35.exe
dotnetfx35langpack_x86pt-BR.exe
Silent.NET Maker 20080603
Windows XP SP3 PT-BR

I try use FULL option to merge and try use separeted files without success...

You don't mention .NET 2.0 so I'll give a double answer.
1) .NET 3.0 requires .NET 2.0 to be installed first
2) As specified in the introduction thread, if you install .NET 1.1 first and then .NET 2.0, .NET 3.0 can't be installed immediately afterwards because the combination of .NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0 causes Windows to report to other programs that .NET 2.0 isn't installed until the next reboot.

Theoretically, this should've worked. But why are you trying this at T-13? .NET 3.0 SP1 and .NET 3.5 are not SVCPACK-compatible.

1) Yes I install 2.0 before try install 3.0 and 3.5.
2)To avoid this windows report has a regtweak, right????

I always use .Net Framework All in One x86 (incl 3.5) in T-13 stage with total success, now I'm testing Silent.net Maker to try avoid some errors in .Net 2.0 detection with some specific programs in my work before I install this framework package.

PS: sorry for my poor english...

Hi there!

You made a nice job, congrats!
I would like to know if there's any hotfixes I should include for .NET 2.0SP1/3.0SP1/3.5 ? Because in your fist post, you just talk about hotfixes for .NET 1.1 SP1.

Cheers,
Kal

EDIT: Which .NET 1.1 SP1 version should I use? I can get an english and french versions on MS download center, and it seems that SNM handles correctly french redistributable package. But I prefer to be sure...

[willsion]

Thank you.I have used it to make a little .net 1.1 installer(11M).

[darafat]

oh yeah!
Really great job TomCat


thanks so much man, it just works like a charm

Anyway, why if you run the script without any changes, and without including net 2.0 sp1 (where u said that it s not needed if the 3.5 is included) te sum of the outputs files is 1 mb more then if you include it lol

p.s: we re waiting for the net compact v2 and v3 now

thanks again

hi tc! found out about the update to this just lately (thought this would've stopped at 3.0) ... though i've yet to try this, many thanks!

[TranceEnergy]

Hm i installed .net 3.5 successfully pre-login on nlited system a couple of months ago. No troubles, just keep printer service on automatic, and voila.
At least thats what i remember, wrote about it in kurt's x64 thread i think. or nlite what to not remove perhaps. I got memory like a goldfish, almost.

[zorro1]

PB with net 3.5 sp1 and langpack 3.5 sp1

can't integrate langpack for net 3.0 code error 2728


and you ?

[fz500]

Net 3.5 SP1 official version has been issued, the file name and 3.5 seems like it used integration, but also when they jumped out to extract a number of error messages, I do not know why

[bigfatroundguy]

Nice!, I just tried the latest edition with default settings and it worked first time, totally clean. Am looking forward to the .NET 3.5 SP1 version. Many thx

[DarkShadows]

@Tomcat
I don't know if you have tested this (or if you even recommend it), but I just tried the following steps below.

• Downloaded SNM.zip from 1st post in thread and extracted to my Work folder.
  
• For .Net Framework 1.1, downloaded the following to my Work folder:
  • dotnetfx.exe
    
  • NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe
    
  • NDP1.1sp1-KB928366-X86.exe
  
  
• For all other .Net Frameworks, downloaded Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 Full Redistributable Package to Work folder.
  
• Skipped all language packs, since I speak English.
  
• Left all SNM.ini settings at their default values.
  
• Executed SNM.cmd.
  During SNM.cmd processing, I observed one item of concern. The Command Prompt displayed the error message: "The System could not find the file specified."
   Error.png (27.42K)
  Number of downloads: 51
  
• Installed DNF20.exe from svcpack.inf.
  
• Installed DNF30.exe, DNF35.exe, and DNF11.exe from RunOnceEx (in that order).

I observed no errors during or after the installation, and Microsoft Update finds no required updates for .Net Framework.
EDIT: I should note that all items appear correctly installed in Control Panel.
 ControlPanel.png (27.33K)
Number of downloads: 41
Q1: Has anyone else attempted something similar? If so, has it worked for you?
Q2: Are the any concerns or issues with this approach?
