I'd wait, I'm just finishing next major (and I hope denitive) version. I will publish it soon. If you search bugs in SNM_mod8 you can find one if dotnetfx35langpack_x86*.exe is present in the work folder but not marked to process in the .ini file, in some cases it could be problems.

I dont use any language packs at all m8 i only use the installers plus updates since my language is English

Thanks tho for the info im goin home shortly where i have no internet access so i will be running SNM_mod8.cmd and seeing how it goes with what im after and then i will report back to you m8 to say how its gone (good or bad )

Hope this helps you m8 to improve the script and such... thank you for your hard work buddy!

have you been able to install .net 2.0-3.5 in a row from runonceex? I can't install 3.0 after installing 2.0, I have to reboot and then install 3.0 and 3.5. Could not find the reason why...

Merge them all together using strel's modified script and this wil solve this problem.

Ok strel its me again had no problems with SNM_mod8.cmd at all m8 save the minor niggle of the name of the merged installer which dont matter to much since you can just rename it

Attatched is a screen cap of how the cmd prompt window looked after it had finished.

Are you using SNM_mod8.cmd that strel has made to do it? and do you have v2.0 already installed otherwise it wont work. What errors messages do you get?

Yes, I do (strel's cmd).
Version 2.0 is installed on the machine that makes the installer. I'm trying to install from 2.0SP2 to 3.5SP1 on a clean XP installation.
Are you saying that I do must install .net 2.0 (plain) and then, 2.0SP2 and the rest of the files?
I did not get any error message using that package, I will pass /lv %SystemDrive%\dotnet.log to the installer and check the log.

[strel]

Can you look in Administrative Tools\Eventlog\Applications to see if you can find the error it gives you?

Hang on a sec... you say you are trying to install from 2.0 SP2 to 3.5 SP1 on a clean install?

3.5 SP1 (231MB) contains 2.0 plus service packs so from what you are saying you cud just run the installer to install it as it is from MS however thats not what you are after..
on the system you are trying to create the merged installer i suggest the following;

1. Have all the versions of the .NET Framework installed just in case using windows update (I did )
2. Have you followed the instructions in the first post correctly, sometimes its the smallest things that cause the biggest problems.
3. Have you got all the needed files for the merged installer you are making (see 2)

Beyond that m8 im out of ideas really since im not too familiar with scripting but I'll do my best for you!

I put this to the test only with single installers. What I did:
- I used SNM_mod8_loud.cmd to build single installers of 2.0 SP2, 3.0 SP2 and 3.5 SP1. I could check I forgot to reverse ECHO ON testing setting at the beginning of the file when I uploaded it, and you guys not advising, tsk, tsk; and I could check another bug about langpacks in unusual conditions.
- I take an image of an untouched XP pro SP3.
- I used nlite only to give it some unattendance quickly, nothing more.
- I set installers to run on runonceex
- I used virtual PC 2007 to test.

And surprise!!! It installs smothly. So I found another minor glitches but no the one you claim.
No idea of what is happening to you, but I tend to think is something out of the reach of this script.

[darks0ul]

I didn't use the loud flavour. I use VMWare instead of VPC. The Windows image is completely up to date (including Windows Installer 4.5) and I just change ProgramFilesDir to another location.

THe very first thing I install is .net 1.1 and then I proceed to install the merged 2.0,3.0,3.5 package. (all using runonceex).

The funny thing is that I have a similar XP x64 image using my own .net installers and they do work in x64 (my installers have the same problem than this .net maker in WP Pro x86).

however... strel, look what I've found...

It could be ok until now, but s***, this could be the problem (when going to install 3.0)

Reread post #1. You can't install 1.1 and 3.# without rebooting after installing 1.1. To install both without rebooting you have to install 1.1 last. You can do that with merged installer, but you have to build it to include all the frameworks, including 1.1.

I have a couple of computers running Win2k, and I have been using this excellent script to create a combined installer for 1.1 (with SP1 and other fixes) and 2.0SP1, which I then use with HFSLIP.

All is fine, but I still have to manually apply NDP20SP1-KB947748-x86.exe (2.0SP1 version of NDP1.1SP1-KB947742-x86.exe, MS08-052) to have the latest gdiplus.dll put in place also for 2.0SP1, so that I can keep Windows Update and MBSA content.

I understand, that when Tomcat made the original script, there were no updates for 2.0SP1, so he used an assumed naming convention for what support was built for them, and the script does not anticipate any updates beginning with a name such as NDP20SP1*. Also, from looking at the script I see that KB947742 has a specific hardcoded extraction command under 1.1, and a similar one might need to be adopted for KB947748 under 2.0SP1. However, I have not looked at the issue any deeper than that.

So, I wonder if there might be any interest among those, who better know how things like this should be done, to see if KB947748 support could easily be added for 2.0SP1. If the interest is limited, I would appreciate a tip or two just in case I might feel bold enough to experiment on my own (never done scripts like this).

so have anybody noticed this:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en

I've done a major update of Silent .NET Maker synthesized script to support these request and other features. The new script make things a bit different than Tomcat76's. Since Tomcat76 is dissapeared, I decided to put it in a new thread to make it more visible, better keep tracking of it, and for easiness publishing updates of script and guide.

You can find it here:

You better read previous post to this, or search about .net installing with the G bar.

There's Silent .NET Maker synthesized. and other solutions around.
