.NET Framework 3.5 (Silent Installer)

Recommended Posts

Extravert, Microsoft .NET Framework is required by certain applications to properly function. Some applications require Microsoft .NET Framework 1, while others might rely on version 2 or 3 for example. You only need to have that version of Microsoft .NET Framework installed which is required by the software which you use. It might very well be that you have no software installed which relies on Microsoft .NET Framework. If this is the case, there is no need to install Microsoft .NET Framework.

In an office environment I would suggest to only install that version of Microsoft .NET Framework which is required, whereas in a home situation it might be easier to simply have all versions installed so that you'll never be prompted to first install Microsoft .NET Framework before being able to install a certain application.

You can compare Microsoft .NET Framework somewhat to the Java Runtime Environment. If you have applications which rely on the Java Runtime Environment, they won't function if you don't have the Java Runtime Environment installed. The difference between Microsoft .NET Framework and the Java Runtime Environment is that the last one is backwards compatible, which means that you only need to have the latest version installed for any application which relies on the Java Runtime Environment to function, whereas Microsoft .NET Framework is not backwards compatible, which means that applications which rely on Microsoft .NET Framework 1 won't function is you only have version 2 installed for example.

I hope this has cleared things up for you a bit.

Yes, thank you

Indeed I use JRE and there's only one version of JRE. I know yhat there are three main Framework versions 1.1, 2 and 3.

I guess that software like Microsofts ForeFront needs the latest Framework installed.

I never understood that they won't intergrate the framework in Windows by setup like Vista.

EASY .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 + 3.0 SP2 + 2.0 SP2 + Language Pack Integration

1. Download .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 from this link:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/0/e/20e90413-712f-438c-988e-fdaa79a8ac3d/dotnetfx35.exe

(NOTE: The other dotnetfx35.exe available on MS Download does NOT containt SP1 for .NET 3.5, BEWARE!)

2. Unpack it with WinRAR or by command switch /extract:yourfoldername

3. After it's done you can rip off uneeded components:

a) if you do not wish to have files for 64-bit editions of Windows, simply launch a search (F3 button), type
64
and delete all directories and files within the results

b) if you wish to delete Vista .NET components, simply erase whole
dotnetMSP
folder

4. Now, download the appropriate language pack from the following website & put it inside the extracted .NET 3.5 SP1 redist folder:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=8489ed13-b831-4855-96f7-dd35e4c02a20

5. Having all files in place, create an installer. I used WinRAR SFX module with an option to launch the silent .NET setup.

Here is my SFX script

Setup=dotNetFx35Setup.exe /qb /norestart /lang:yourlanguagecode

Silent=1

Overwrite=2

Update=U

Title=.NET Framework 3.5 SP1

NOTE1:
Remember to add your language code (PLK, CHS, DEU, FRA, etc.)

NOTE2:
If you want 100% silent setup with no progress bar displayed, simply change
/qb
to
/q
command

NOTE3:
No need to create a switch for the language pack! The setup will install it automatically for all .NET versions, just remember to keep its original filename!

6. Enjoy your new & shiny .NET 3.5 SP1 Framework installer!

Inside the RAR SFX & the list of files:

After installation:

I hope it will help someone during the exhausting fights with .NET installers :)

Thanks to everyone that contributes here; truly a magnificient community! :D

Due to the serve crash there were some very useful pages deleted so I have added a link to the archive equivalents

https://web.archive.org/web/20170828082220/http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/108344-net-framework-35-silent-installer/?page=2

The important part was this (thanks to user irfanjunaid)!
