thanks geej, however i would like to have mine installed via svcpack.inf
do you think the dnf_full.exe will work like that?

dnf_full.exe will not work via svcpack.inf because anything above version 3 need to install via GUIRunonce.
It is stated clearly 1st post .NET 3.x notes... section

[oioldman]

me is a plonka
thanks for pointing out the obvious Geej

will now try to understand why it doesn't install at GUIRunOnce, as have an app i like that needs it (Outlook on the Desktop)
time to test me thinks and see what happens.

Did u set _SNM.ini with MERGE_FRAMEWORKS=12 as per guide?

No I didn't. Do I have to? Wouldn't it work other way? I mean, building those 2 packages and run them separately??

Also, hidcon fails to hide the dos box during setup.

Ok, not really required to set _SNM.ini with MERGE_FRAMEWORKS=12.
I tested Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1 via svcapck in VM ok. Here is the step :
download NetFx20SP1_x86.exe (24mb) and any language file u need. Installed into your host system if if it is not already installed. (U need that. U can't build the package if this package is not already installed)
Do not have to change any setting in _SNM.ini
Just run SNM.cmd. U should have an output file DNF20.exe (about 17MB). That's it. Run from svcpack will work.
I did not observe any DOS box appearing during testing. Only progress status appears. It is by design.

If you are adventurous, try the modified SNM_mod.zip posted in page 12, #222 by strel. ( did not try it) to hide the progress status.
Basically, a visual progress is nice since is this package install time is pretty long.

When u login, add/remove panel should have 1 listing:
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1

@atolica

You don't have to. Crearly you are doing something wrong with the building process. The fact that hidcon didn't work points it. Recheck.

EDIT: Solution here has been superseded by the one in Silent .NET Maker synthesized


I have incorporated the modifications proposed in posts #222, #229 and #234, in page 12 of this thread, to make a synthesized version of Tomcat's script that work with all new .NET framework updates, both for XP and 2000 x86 until date, in order to ease your work. That is, in addition to what original Tomcat's script support, this version:

- Builds real silent installers, without packet unzipping progress boxes, as proposed in post #222.

- Support NDP1.1sp1-KB947742-X86.exe update under windows 2000, as proposed in post #229

- Support .NET framework 3.5 SP1 as proposed in post #234 by DarkShadows.

[Kiki Burgh]

thanks for the added work strel ... i shall try this ...

[SlipStreamer]

Having problems. n00b problems.
Both silent .net makers compile a file called DNF20.exe - I add that to nlite and, while processing, the program is integrating the file, an error is displayed saying that it's not an expected type of hotfix.

I urgently need to slipstream .net 2.0 SP1. Help!

[strel]

The installers obtained by this method are not of the form of a hotfix suitable to nlite "hotfix-addons-updates packs" section. Instead you should use methods proposed in first post. If you want to integrate .NET framework in that fashion You'll find what you're searching in the link in post #242

@strel:

Using your modified script there is still a problem while processing the German Language Pack for .NET 3.5 SP1:



Translated:
An unexpected error occurred while installing this package.
Possibly this is a package-related problem.
The error code is 2728.

Any ideas?

Update:
It seems that the file netfx30lpa_x86.msi is not found in \TMP\TMP2\ADMIN30A_LNG\. Actually the whole directory does not exist.

- Support .NET framework 3.5 SP1 as proposed in post #234 by DarkShadows.

To achieve this:

1. Follow the instructions described by Tomcat in the first post, steps 1 to 4, not 5, that is, don't run Tomcat original script. And in step 3, do not download .NET framework 3.5 as proposed, instead download .NET framework 3.5 SP1 full reditributable

2. Optionally, if you use windows 2000, download the update NDP1.1sp1-KB947742-X86.exe.

3. Download SNM_mod2.zip which includes:
- Sythesized version of Tomcat's script.....................................SNM_mod2.cmd
- Oleg_Sch's modified 7-zip sfx utility 1.2b861...........................7zSD.sfx
and extract it in your work folder.

4. Now run SNM_mod2.cmd and you have it.

Feedback appreciated.

OH MAN!!!!!! I could kiss you for this dude!!!! Awsome job downloading the extra bits now and will run it, amazing job buddy as always your hard work is very much appreciated!!!

Thanks again

Hello Boys.

Ok so I tried this new version and dotnet still does not install.

Here is what I did

I followed instructions 1 to 4 from the first post.
I downloaded the dotnet 3.5 version that was put in Stoner81's post.

In my folder SNM I have dotnet 1.1//2.0//3.0//3.5 <--From Stoner81 post the 232 mb version.

I have the NDP1.1sp1-KB947742-X86.exe <--I am not using Win2k I don't know if that would make a difference.

I run the modified batch file and it creates a 53mb file

I put the file in the HFGUIRUNONCE folder and create my ISO.

Once my ISO is created I install Windows on a VM

After the installation is complete I go to Windows Update and the only 2 updates that I have to do are dotnet 1.1 and dotnet 2.0

Perhaps I did something wrong?

If you don't run win2k you don't need NDP1.1sp1-KB947742-X86.exe, but don't interfere in results-
I don't use HFslip, so I don't know if HFGUIrunonce is the apropiate place from which to install, but you can try Runonceex, Runonce or GUIrunonce methods manually.
From the first post:

Quote

This script is primarily intended to create installers for an unattended Windows installation, and since .NET 3.0 SP1 should be installed at first GUI logon and .NET 2.0 SP1 doesn't have to be necessarily, it is better to keep them separated to give you more leeway as to what should be installed when.

I don't merge installers so I can't tell you nothing about the merged one, but I'd try with separate installers.

And there you have it. Now I'm gonna combine this with the synthesized version.

I have incorporated to a SILENT .NET MAKER SYNTHESIZED version, the modifications proposed in posts #222, #229, #234 and #265 of this thread, to make a script that work with all new x86 .NET framework updates until date, in order to ease your work. That is, in addition to what original Tomcat's script support, this version:

- Builds real silent installers, without installers unzipping progress boxes, as proposed in post #222.

- Support NDP1.1sp1-KB947742-X86.exe update under windows 2000, as proposed in post #229

- Support .NET framework 3.5 SP1 as proposed in post #234 by DarkShadows.

- Support .NET framework 3.5 SP1 language packs as proposed in post #265, EDIT: but only for .NET 3.0 SP2 and .NET 2.0 SP2 (included), not for 3.5 SP1, as undelined by gr11x in the next post

To achieve this:

EDIT: Here there was a link to the modified script, but have been updated by the one in post #279.

@strel:

Version 3 of your script is working quite well now, just one point is missing: the language pack for .NET 3.5 SP1 is not listed as installed software afterwards (but for .NET 3.0 SP2):



After installing the language pack again all seems correctly installed:



Also I don't see any entries for .NET 1.1 SP1, is this correct?

Thanks in advance and great work so far!

[strel]

Are you using merged individual installer?

[atolica]

@strel

1. Follow the instructions described by Tomcat in the first post, steps 1 to 4, not 5

What instructions do you mean? Can you be more specific? I have read them all and I don't understand what steps are to be taken.

If I install merged .net 1.1+hotfixes and .net 2 and then dotnet3 without sp1, in windows update .net 1.1 and .net 2 do show up. They are not installed. So probably .net3 (without sp1) installation routine uninstalls .net1.1 and net.2. Something is not right with the script.

I'd like to install and ONLY these:
Net 1.1 +2 hotfixes = Net Framework 1.1 redist + NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe + NDP1.1sp1-KB928366-X86.exe
NetFx20SP1_x86.exe = Net Framework + SP1 redistributable
NetFx30SP1_x86.exe = Net Framework + SP1 redistributable

and XPSEPSC-x86-en-US.exe as a prerequisite for NetFx30SP1_x86.exe. I don't want to install Net Framework 3.5
