If you only want to be able to install to a controller in your system, you're probably better off just individually adding the one driver for your controller by itself following GreenMachine's method. http://greenmachine.msfnhosting.com/READING/addraid.htm

And the 7z SFX module extracts to a temp directory by default?

Send me an IM and I'll send you one that's already ModifyPE'd and compressed (ready to go in i386).

You only need to include the resulting netfxsp1.exe in the svcpack.ini and everything works smoothly. The tempfiles will also be removed automatically. If someone has the webspace to host the file, I can supply a ready-made version (11.3 MB). I'll gladly host it. Did you just use the 7z archive I linked to to create the installer?

That's great to see! Thanks to you and bitmonster for that little gem!

You need fasttrak.sy_ in your i386 folder. Use the following command to create it (from a command prompt) makecab /D CompressionType=LZX /D CompressionMemory=21 FASTTRAK.SYSThe resulting file will be FASTTRAK.SY_, which you can put in your i386 directory.

This has nothing to do with the RyanVM pack. I'm using a localised version of DotNetFx so I can tell you I would have taken the RyanVM's pack instead of learning how to make a sfx with 7-zip... And actually it's working. It's just that my sfx was 17Mo with wonrar and Ultra compression, and as I managed to save 6Mo by compressing with 7-zip I thought it could be an idea to try it, has at the end a few Mo could always be useful... You didn't use a solid archive.

Well geez, then figure out how to adapt it for your own uses

Well, I created a definitive guide in my last post in the .NET SP1 thread now, so hopefully that clears up all the confusion.

Depends, did they remove activation from this year's version?

OK, this is the definitive way to get .NET 1.1 SP1 installed during installation scripts now. EDIT: Info removed. See the below post for new information. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...20entry185765

You guys are absolutely right. I completely forgot about that. Yes, you'll want to remove the setup line from the SFX archive and execute it from the batch file after extracting with a start /wait command. I'm going to update the exe with that in mind. EDIT: Uploading the modified version without a setup string now

Alright boys and girls, I've decided enough is enough. Below is a link to a self-extracting RAR archive which automatically extracts to %systemroot%\temp\dotnet (in other words, the temp folder within your Windows directory). From there, it starts netfx.msi (I personally use the /qb switch so I can see the progress meter. If you don't like it, open the exe in WinRAR and change the comment to /qn). If you want the files to be deleted afterwards, simply add a "rd /s/q %systemroot%\temp\dotnet" to your batch file to delete the directory. I've tested it successfully in a clean install in VirtualPC. EDIT: Link removed. See this post.

I've found that the WinRAR SFX module will on many occasions delete the files from the temp folder before setup is actually finished running, obviously causing many problems . My suggestion would be to have it extract to a temp folder (like c:\dotnet or something) and run setup from there. You can then have a line in your batch file afterwards to delete that installation directory (like rd /s/q "c:\dotnet").

I don't know if I'd go so far as to say "tearing their hair out" over it. I had a slipstreamed package within the first few pages of the thread. What's been bothering people (primarily because they don't understand WinRAR and can't be bothered to read the help files) is setting up the exe to be self extracting and run with the proper switches.

Nobody's saying we're slipstreaming .NET into the XP install source (and if they are, they are misinformed). We're slipstreaming the .NET 1.1 SP1 update into the .NET 1.1 installation source. The second part is compressing the file and making it self-extracting to be installed along with the other programs (like you cited in your post). You're mistaking where we're talking about slipstreaming. EDIT: And the dotnetfx folder on the XP install source contains and outdated version of the .NET framework which XP doesn't even install. That folder is safe to delete.

After installation? Absolutely not. EDIT: I think we're arguing over semantics. A patched installation source can still be considered slipstreamed. To slipstream SP2 into an XP install, you copy the install source files to your hard drive and run the SP2 update on that source - you patch the installation source. That installation source is now considered to be a slipstreamed SP2 CD. The same idea applies here. You extract the .NET installation source files and patch them with .NET SP1, creating a slipstreamed install source.

Generally, a patch is considered to be something run after the fact. Slipstreaming is done prior. So I guess I disagree (because if we went with your definition, nobody's slipstreaming SP2 into their install source, which I think MS would even disagree with ).

I'm confused as to why you keep saying slip stream of net 1.1 with sp1 Cause there is no stream to it... it is a program just like popupcop , winamp, and all the rest there is nothing to update or slipstream to it... Just make a installer and install it some where,, pick you spot... Slipstreaming is when you integrate an update into the original product install (like when people integrate XPSP2 into their install CDs so it doesn't have to be installed after installation). In this thread, we're slipstreaming the .NET 1.1 SP1 update into the original .NET 1.1 install source since there's no download from Microsoft that has SP1 integrated. Understand now ? If not, I suggest you google "slipstream" and read about what it means, since it seems that you have no clue.

This is what I use to install it, personally: ECHO Installing Sun Java2 Runtime Environment 5.0 RC1... start /wait %CDROM%\Updates\apps\jre5rc.exe /s /v"/qn ADDLOCAL=jrecore,extra IEXPLORER=1 REBOOT=Suppress"

There's no reason it wouldn't work with SP2...
