Hi, I'm trying to add the .Net All In One (netfxAIO.exe) install to my nLite image. I've tried to add it as an update/hotfix, but when it checks the file, it errors saying 'this is not an expected update/hotfix'. What is the best way to integrate the .Net framework into an unattended install CD? Any help much appreciated. Thanks Ben

Hi Andy, Yeah I found that on Google as well, and although I knew RIS had to be running fine due to the other clients working, I checked out TFTP just to be sure. I checked the services and ran "risetup -check", everything reported back A-OK. I guess my next step is to email Realtek and ask them for a BIOS update, as there is nothing on their site except drivers! Cheers Ben

Hi, I've had RIS running successfully for the past couple of years, and rarely have any problems. But today I've received a new laptop, an Acer Aspire 3020. I'm trying to boot off the LAN so I can install XP Pro (rather than Home edition, cringe!). However when I try and boot, I press F12, the PXE environment loads, DHCP info is received, then TFTP tries to communicate with the server, after about a minute, it fails with "PXE-E32: TFTP Open Timeout". I have my old Dell Inspiron laptop, so tried booting with that, press F12, the PXE environment loads, DHCP info is received, then TFTP communicates almost instantly, it says press F12 to boot from network, if I do I can install from RIS successfully. The RIS server is a member server of our domain. RIS has been authorised in DHCP. THe RIS server, Domain Controller, and all Clients are on the same subnet, NO routers or firewalls are between the clients & server (although there are 2 switches). So I can't under stand why one client works, but another doesn't! What could be wrong with the new laptop? It's got an onboard Realtek 8110/8169 LAN card, which according to their website is PXE compliant. Any help/suggestions greatly received Kind regards Ben
