Ok, thanks Strel. After looking at all this different stuff, I think for now my easiest solution is to give up completely on integrating .NET into my nlite cd and just go a different route like installing from a login script, or something, etc. I was trying to save some time with this, by not having to go to each machine and install, but I'm spending too much time figuring out how to save time... and that's just a conundrum.

Ok, so I'm sure this is a dumb question- but I've been looking all over this forum and keep finding random bits of different things, but no cohesive solution to what I want to do. I'm posting in this thread because I think it comes the closest. Basically, I just want to integrate the entire .NET 3.5 package into my unattended XP Installation in nlite. I don't care about size or any of that, and I don't really care at what point the package gets installed during the setup process- I just want it to be there in the end. From what I'm reading, it sounds like I can't simply do it through the Addon gui because there are problems with the 3.0 element. So it sounds like doing it at the RunOnce stage is best. Fine with me. Do I do this in the nlite gui, in the runonce tab of the Unattended section, or is it something where I have to manually edit a file? The biggest hangup I can't seem to get past is how to integrate the actual install files into the ISO image. I know it wouldn't be a problem in the Add-On stage, as I've succesfully created the silent installed from this guide. But if I'm just running a command from RunOnce, how do I actually get the files onto the disc so they can be copied/executed at the RunOnce phase? Of course maybe I'm totally missing something. But then I'm having a hard time finding a thorough guide for Nlite. Please direct me to the appropriate place to find answers. Thanks
