    VC++ Redists...

    in Application Installs

    Posted

    Hello again :-)

    You never sleep, just as I don't either!! haha

    OK, well I have 16 total 2005 redists (there are 12 in the picture attached to this post, and 4 more that I haven't put in that folder because they are newer updates to prevent DLL spoofing, so 16 total).

    If you think this is getting messy, just let me know, you've been such a big help to me, and it is very appreciated, so you've done MORE than I could've asked for. Again, just let me know if this is crazy crazy work to get these little buggers installing more easily

    No problem , You gave me a reason to work on a update project now :yes:..lol , besides I live on my computer about 12 hrs a day doing W8 and W7 projects and working on perfecting my unattended installs..

    Unfortunately, MS changes the Visual C++ command switches from release to release (unlike the .msu files)

    Download my revised batch to install the C++ 05 files for both x86 and x64, then create a folder called vc05

    put all your 2005 .exe files in it and put it in the main Updates folder along with the batch file..

    I also added a cleanup for the root drive of all the VC install files and also changed the basic ui switch /qb

    to a no ui with the /qn so you don't have to see the progress bar as they install in chronological order.

    Just tested this out on my W7 64-bit machine and it worked perfectly...If you have anymore batch/dos questions

    you should join http://www.dostips.com/ which is a very active forum..I stay mostly over there and everyone is

    very helpful and most questions are answered in less than an hour..

    VC++ Redists...

    in Application Installs

    Hi DosProbie,

    Good news!! The MSU.cmd worked PERFECTLY!!

    But...the Visual.cmd, only half worked. The .cmd worked for all the 2008 and 2010 redists without hassle but errored on all my 2005 redists (due to M$ using different command line switches I can only guess).

    Is there any way to add the functionality for the older 2005 redists in this Visual.cmd?

    Send me the names of some of the 2005's over to me and I will check them out ..And also how many 2005's do you have?

    Thank you very, very much DosProbie. This is exactly what I needed!! :thumbup:D:w00t:

    Command lines and such always get the best of me...So in order to get this .cmd to work, what switches will I need to add to it?

    Here you go, wrote this batch for your C++ files (Switch included), just create a Updates folder to your C: drive

    with all your .exe C++ files and add this batch to it, create shortcut to batch to your desktop and run then watch

    the magic :yes:.. Oh and if you need any additional switches You can use the Universal Switch Finder

    Hi Friends,

    Got a strange OCD type question...I have collected a LOT of Visual C++ Redists over the years due to games that I play requiring specific exact versions, otherwise I get crashes and/or errors in the Event Log.

    Whenever I have to install Windows 7 fresh (about every 3-6 months) and (repeated 3 times for 3 different PCs in my home) I have to go through the painstaking and mind numbing process of installing these redists one by one. I'm not familiar with CMD prompts, so could anyone help me with some way to install these redists (EXE files) automatically, one after another, AND ensuring that they install in the correct order (x86 version installs, then x64 version installs, etc)?

    I've attached a screenshot of my redists (so you can get an idea of my pain)...

    I'd also like to find a way to batch install my MSU windows updates into a similiar package, or anything else automated...there are about 60 of them now...(Windows 7 Ultimate x64)

    Thank you friends.

    Here you go this is a batch that I wrote that Installs each MSU one at a time, (btw you will need to add switches for your .exe C++ files) just run batch from your MSU Updates folder..Hope this helps!

    NET 3.5 Offline Installer for Win8

    in Windows 8

    Posted

    One of my pet peeves with Win8 is making the end user Install .NET framework 3.5 that is needed by a lot of apps. MS calls it a Feature on Demand (FoD).

    I wrote a .sfx and added to my setupcomplete but I also did a post install that installs directly off the USB or DVD Install disc. Anyway I am sure this subject has been on here before but if would help anyone I am adding my post install batch file .. DosProbie
