Oops, I somehow forgot to check this link, sorry. Unfortunately it seems AVG Free users can't use the technical support form either ("The license number you have entered belongs to AVG Free. No premium support is available for AVG Free."), but I found a E-Mail address (virus@avg.com) in the forum which claims to be working for reporting false detections. I'll write them a letter later today, but still it would be nice if someone with a paid licence could lend us a hand.

Hello,

One note about "The system cannot find the file specified."
I've noticed that you can avoid this message if your working directory does not contain spaces.

In my case at first I had this message.
After renaming of working directory error message disappeared.
This has not happend with earlier version of _SNM

So that's my fault, my excuses, will be corrected for the next version. Anyway, don't worry your installers are perfectly valid, it's just installer including 3.5 SP# have a few extra unuseful KB.

Thx gjack.

I really have no idea why is happening this to you. Is not my case. What version of windows script host (type cscript in a command line) are you using?

By the way, for the next version I'm testing now, so I release it soon, the lines causing the problem are removed as they were accessory.

Hi,

Very useful script, many thanks for keeping it alive

Latest RogueSpear's .NET installers include MSXML6 SP2 (KB954459) in order to update the one present in original installer... Since .NET original installers have been updated since latest RogueSpear stuff, does that hotfix still need to be added? If yes, can it be integrated using .NET Maker?

Also, I know this hotfix is included in Windows "UpdatePacks", however it is very appreciable to have an .NET installer with up-to-date MSXML!

Cheers

strel

Apr 26 2009, 01:39 PM

Actually the script supports it now. Just download the proper file from here to your work folder and run the process, you'll get installer/add-on containing 3.0 with the latest MSXML 6.0 SP2 built-in.

Cheers.

You can tell me if you find the same problem now.

Apr 29 2009, 04:30 PM

Thank you for your reply, you are right, msxml6 update integration is already working

It updates msxml6.dll from 6.10.1200.0 to 6.20.1099.0, and msxml6r.dll (no version change, just file signature refresh)

One thing I haven't understood yet is that the update seems to be integrated into .NET 3.0 whereas RogueSpear puts it into the .NET 2.0 part. Even if the answer should be simple, I won't investigate into this since both ways seem to be flawlessly working

You might want to add the msxml6 update in the supported files list of 1st post

EDIT: wouhouuu missed the update while editing my post... let's have a look at this new release

i have read the first 2 pages and am totally lost all i want is an addon that has (heres where im lost) all the net framework versions but im confused as do u need all or only 3.5 sp 1 or does 1.1 need to be installed first then 3.5 sp1 or does 2.0 need to be in there aswell?

OuTmAn

Apr 30 2009, 03:15 AM

.NET 3.5 SP1 includes .NET 3.5 SP1, 3.0 SP2 and 2.0 SP2

so you need :
- .NET 3.5 SP1 installer
- hotfixes (NDP20SP2-KB958481, NDP30SP2-KB958483 and NDP35SP1-KB958484)
- MSXML6 update (KB954459)
- .NET 1.1 installer
- SP1 for .NET 1.1 (KB867460)
- hotfixes for .NET 1.1 (KB928366 and KB947742)

quite simple isn't it? lol

strel

Apr 30 2009, 03:21 AM

First all the info you need is in post #1, in pages 1 and 2 you'll find outdated info.
The process to build the add-ons and the installing are different things.
To build an updated AIO add-on you'd need 1.1 and its hotfixes and 3.5 SP1 redist and its hotfixes (including 2.0 SP2, 3.0 SP2 and 3.5 SP1) in your work folder, depending on your target win version (not host).
After you get the AIO add-on, you don't have to worry about the installing order priorities because the merged installers respects it, only if you build individual add-ons for each FX version, you have to keep the priorities described when inserting the add-ons in nLite.

you're right, I hadn't noticed... would it break install on XP if this hotfix is included?

Apr 30 2009, 05:17 AM

It would generate an error while building installers with XP as target.
EDIT: But its installing is not restricted to 2K so it will not break install.

QUOTE (strel @ Apr 30 2009, 09:17 PM)

It would generate an error while building installers on XP and not choosing an alternate target win version in the .ini file. But if you build installers for 2K as target with KB947742 and try to install them on XP, it would break the install, generating an error, as if you were trying to install KB947742 on XP directly.

I've installed the 2K version on XP without error.

AIO english updated add-on for XP , isn't it?
Download 1.1 + NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe + NDP1.1sp1-KB928366-X86.exe

+MSXML6 updated version + (optionally the restricted hotfixes for these versions above, not needed for WU silence)
In _SNMsynth.ini set OUTPUT=ADDON and MERGE_FRAMEWORKS=YES, and if you want silent add-ons instead of passive set VERBOSITY=SILENT.
If your host OS is XP run the process, otherwise add WINXP=YES in the .ini file before run.

In post #1 you ask for feedback - I LIKE YOUR BATCH

I went on Microsoft Update just now, and there was a new hotfix. In Danish it says:
KB963707 - Opdatering til .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 til .NET Framework Assistant 1.0 x86 (KB963707)

It fixes some compability issues with Firefox.

Can it be included in the silent net maker?

I did install my system with packages made by the latest version of batch, but now this new update, KB963707, cannot get installed on my system the normal way through Windows Update.

Are the installations of .NET packages, made by this batch not pure? Or does anybody experience the same thing, when installing everything the normal way?

strel

Jun 26 2009, 02:28 PM

2 Trolleri
The installations are made through administrative install method which is an officially documented method of preinstalling. The only unofficial thing this script does is pushing some registry tweaks through NETWUFIXES.MST to avoid some of the win/ms update .NET annoyances to make it think it has finished its work (what it actually did, until now, it seems). Nice weather here too.

EDIT:

I could get KB963707 installed though ms update without problems, i.e. using a 3.5 SP1 SNMsynth installer without KB963707 applied. Are you using maybe 3.5 SP0?
As the ms download page clearly states this hotfix should only be installed after 3.5 SP1 has been installed. Actually the SNMsynth script applies KB963707 to the installer if you put it in the work folder, but the resultant installer abort when executed, don't do it.

Aftermath: KB963707 should only be applied after 3.5 SP1 installer has finished. In my experience WU install KB963707 without problems over 3.5 SP1 SNMsynth installer. If you're using 3.5 SP1 take care of install order.
Report any news about this please..

2 Igrugeman
You should not try to apply KB960737 to the building process. Though it accept it, it breaks 3.5 SP1 installer. See guide.
Those lines you posted are not useful.

No I haven't used SP0 since SP1 got released, and this is first time, I have run into problems. My testing system is however my primary Pc, and is has a lot of programs and hotfixes installed through WU/MU and the web.

Later I will try to install KB963707 after a clean install of the Danish Silent Net Maker Synthesized packages on a clean Danish XP SP3 system, but since my primary Pc is also my only Pc at the moment, I need to wait until I get the time (and Pc) to do the testing.

Maybe it's because of firefox is not installed (but would be really strange), download page states the .NET assistant addon should be active in firefox for the hotfix install to be effective, and if not, reinstall should be done for the addon uninstall button to appear. I think langpacks has nothing to do with all this.

QUOTE (strel @ Jul 3 2009, 06:21 PM)

Yes I saw your editing of #1, but it is very strange I still get the update on MU.

I read the instructions on how to manually remove the .NET Framework Assistant for Firefox. Then I opened regedit, and browsed to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions

The funny thing is, that I have that key to begin with...

I do not have the subkey {20a82645-c095-46ed-80e3-08825760534b}, but this REG_EXPAND_SZ -value:

CODE

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Firefox\extensions]
"jqs@sun.com"=hex(2):43,00,3a,00,5c,00,50,00,72,00,6f,00,67,00,72,00,61,00,6d,\

  00,6a,00,71,00,73,00,5c,00,66,00,66,00,00,00

The hex translates to "C:\Programmer\Java\jre6\lib\deploy\jqs\ff"

The key and the value have probably been created by a Java Installer. Then MU might detect the Firefox\Extensions -key in my registry, and wants to install the hotfix KB963707 on my Pc - who knows

Now I will try to remove the key, along with the .NET Framework extension files stated on the MS support-page. Rebooting....

Edit:
After rebooting this Pc, Microsoft Update still wants to install the update KB963707, but failing to do so. It is strange, but I am now beginning to feel like it doesn't matter for me.

mooms, I have some suggestions:

- just to be sure, do you run as administrator?
- if "TCP/IP NetBIOS helper" service was not running, give a try with this service set to "auto" and running (this one not running caused me some bugs with old installations)

- MSI error 1720 makes me guess your Windows Installer installation might be somewhat broken, try repair it:
1. run "msiexec /regserver" then "msiexec /unregister"
2. if it doesn't work, run Windows Installer 4.5 redistributable package again (KB942288)

see you

Hi OuTmAn,

I am logged as admin, yes
TCP/IP netbios helper is set on auto and running

The install is brand new with all hotfixes up to date,so logically windows installer isn't broken but i will try your advice anyway.
