[X-FoRcE]

Download SP1 package from M$

Dotnet2 Package From M$

Use winrar the extract the exe file to directory

Now u have many dont needed installation file

Only need this 10 files. Cut this file to new directory (My example to A)

Now u can need ORCA MSI Editor. Install ORCA and

Open Netfx20a_x86.msi file with ORCA.

Go InstallExecuteSequence and delete “CA_BlockDirectInstall_Cartman_MSI_x86_enu.3643236F_FC70_11D3_A536_0090278A1BB8” row

Save file and exit ORCA.

İf u wanna Direct Install without AdminPoint Use this command. Open Command Prompt in A Directory

Netfx20a_x86.msi VSEXTUI=1 REBOOT=ReallySuppress PATCH="e:\a\PreXP.msp;e:\a\CLR.msp;e:\a\NetFX_Core.msp;e:\a\DW.msp;e:\a\ASPNET.msp;e:\a\NetFX_Other.msp;e:\a\WinForms.msp;e:\a\NetFX_CA.msp;e:\a\CRT.msp"

If u want AdminPoint use this command :

msiexec /a Netfx20a_x86.msi PATCH="e:\a\PreXP.msp;e:\a\CLR.msp;e:\a\NetFX_Core.msp;e:\a\DW.msp;e:\a\ASPNET.msp;e:\a\NetFX_Other.msp;e:\a\WinForms.msp;e:\a\NetFX_CA.msp;e:\a\CRT.msp" targetdir=e:\a\Admin

Now have new Netfx20a_x86.msi and admin directory. Delete *.msp files and move Netfx20a_x86.msi to admin directory. Now you have admin install point. U can create sfx unattend installer. File size only 16.3mb

**  Dont need msi parameter you can directly use this command  “msistub.exe Netfx20a_x86.msi /qn”

You'll find this method implemented for 2K/XP/2K3 X86, all languages, all frameworks and updated in Silent .NET Maker synthesized.

Thank you, it certainly is promising, but:

1. It seems complicated - I'll need some time to devour it.

2. Nothing silent or unattended please - I want loud and attended (monitored and controlled).

3. I don't want all packages - I want as little as possible (if anything can be stripped, good).

4. I'll have to do 1. to see if 3. applies.

*EDIT - I needed admin point, that's why this thread was useful

With the last update you can build ad-hoc localized installers, selectin what versions to process and selecting the switchless default verbosity of the installers you build.

You can even use switches with this installers to modify its default switchless behavior at run.

For now on you can build ad-hoc nlite add-ons in an automated process.

Enjoy!

First post works with NetFx20SP2_x86.exe - all steps the same, creating admin point. Haven't installed it yet, but it seems it'll work - everything seems OK.

strel, haven't gotten around yet to play with Synthesized, sorry

It's based on the same administrative installs, but with more features, for all frameworks, hotfixes and langpacks, and automated.
