Correction 56.1 before compression.
0 -
hmmm, even ryanvm got 12.2 (not sfx)...I dunno, just seems weird yours is 5mb larger...you only have netfx.msi, win, and program files right? Im also asking this because I wanna make sure I didnt forget to add something.
Yes, only them. Strange. Are you using winrar?
51.1 before compression. 17.5 after.

Yes, switch that off.
Yes
Uses the classic Windows Start menu and displays icons for My Computer and My Documents on the desktop.
No
Uses the default Windows XP start menu.
You found your fault.
Cheers.

Only need to add info that you want. Your name and stuff, can be added during install. I have a ME disk that does that. Saves me typing the key when I install it.
Feels like torture typing serial keys.

MHz, you must not be using best compression, mine compressed is like 12.3mb...but I set the sfx exactly how you have it, so now to test in svcpack.inf.
Just compressed again, got 17.5 again at best settings?
Using winrar 3.3.

has anyone been able to utilize this in svcpack.inf? Also, I think its been said that there is an error when using winrar temp extract (extracting to a temp dir)...
It works fine from cmdlines, don't know about svcpack.......
Also, I agree about the temp extraction being a bit quirky - I get it to extract to "%systemdrive%\install\dotnet\" because anyway I have a command at the end of my batch-files to delete the "%systemdrive%\install\" directory.
"Tempmode" works fine with winrar. Have tested it.
Tempmode is different to %temp% in the path editfield.
Your choice of method should be as good.

@echo off
if not exist sp1.exe goto end
if not exist dotnetfx.exe goto end
dotnetfx.exe /c /t:c:\a
sp1.exe /Xp:c:\
ren S867460.msp sp1.msp
msiexec /a c:\a\netfx.msi TARGETDIR="c:\b"
msiexec /p sp1.msp /a c:\b\netfx.msi
:end
exit
Put the above into a batch file and save it in c drive .
rename dotnet 1.1 ? to dotnetfx.exe .
rename NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe to sp1.exe .
with all files in c drive . execute the batch file .
files contained in b folder need to be SFX with winrar .
Should make it easier.

Microsoft has a kit that makes an inf file for configuring the firewall. Can apparently have it disabled too.

That's right, put it in Dotnetfx and call it setup.exe
Can use runonceex to run it from if wish.

1. First download the .NET framework v1.1 re-distributable package, and run "dotnetfx.exe" with the "/C" switch (to extract contents).
2. Then download the .NET fw v1.1 SP1 update, and run "NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe" with the /XP" switch (to extract contents).
3. A dialog box asking you where to save the MSP (update patch) comes up, choose where you want to save it (size 18,760 KB).
4. Rename that MSP to SP1.MSP, and place the extracted contents of dotnetfx.exe (.NET framework installer) in the same directory.
5. Clean the directory so sp1.msp, data1.cab, and netfx.msi are the only files (3 files) in the directory.
6. Run the following commands (from a command prompt):
CODE
msiexec /a netfx.msi TARGETDIR="c:\netfx1"
msiexec /p sp1.msp /a c:\netfx\netfx.msi
7. Your c:\netfx directory should have 3 items in it after this operation: 2 directories - Program Files & Win, and netfx.msi.
8. Now you can compress it to SFX (if compressed it will be just 17.5 MB, if left uncompressed it is 56.2 MB). And set it to silently extract.
;The comment below contains SFX script commands
Setup=Netfx.msi /qn /norestart
TempMode
Silent=1
Overwrite=1
With WinRAR:
Choose SFX with best compression.
Copy the above into the comment window. (last tab)
Then ok to create a 17.5 Mb SFX.
Contents (already patched with sp1.msp):
netfx.msi
\Program Files
\Win
Think I got it all?

Tested SFX rar with Windows install using tempmode. No problems.

add switches into
setup = netfx.msi /qn
in winrar. guessed them switches.
Where is that cab file?

Winrar has a temp option. so it extract to your temp dir, executes your setup, then deletes the temp file that it created, when install has completed. Makes it clean then.

5. Clean the directory so sp1.msp, data1.cab, and netfx.msi are the only files (3 files) in the directory.
Where is this data1.cab ? I can not locate it.
0 -
Yes,
You may not need savepath, that just writes to registry.
path could also be maybe %temp% ?

Your SFX should have something like this in its instructions, in the archive.
Silent=1
Overwrite=2
All you should have to do, is run it from your batch file with no switches. As they are set in the SFX.

That is the option selected inside winrar itself, when you made the archive.

Try setting CDRom as boot device 1 in bios. And harddrive disabled. Then put harddrive as a boot device, once installed.
Some systems require this procedure.
If it helps.

Are you using a modified uxtheme.dll, by any chance?
I have a similar problem.

When PC reboots after textsetup mode. Do not press any key to boot from CD again, else you will not boot from harddrive.
Not sure, but you may be doing the loop with the CD boot, by pressing a key each time it boots?
@benners
Nice boot screen.

Thanks, I was pulling my hair out, to find the reason. Solid does take off that 5Mbs.
Thanks again.
P.S. All credit to you for this concept.
