.NET 3.5 on Server 2k3 [workaround]

[iamtheky]

When I attempt to run a silent install of .Net 3.5 from the runonceex on server 2k3 it throws an error indicating that my certificate service would need to be re-ran. After clicking 'OK' (the only option other than the x) the load finishes normally. Any way to remedy this on the install side?

-The same exact silent install works fine on windows xp from the runonceex

I am searching for a way to get the install to ignore this moreso than manipulating the O/s or service, but am absolutely hunting any solutions.

Update 11/25 am: CrtSrv= OFF

CrtSrv_Client=OFF

CrtSrv_Server=OFF

resulted in the same symptoms. I was hoping that if it was explicitly OFF I would get different results, i did not.

Update 11/25 pm: CrtSrv= ON

CrtSrv_Client=ON

CrtSrv_Server=ON

resulted in the same symptoms. I was hoping that if it was explicitly ON I would get different results, i did not.

bump, anyone?

I can workaround the issue with the most ridiculous autoit script I have ever written. I would still enjoy eliminating the dialog rather than accommodating.

I suppose this is a workaround for any install that throws the certificate services warning.

run ("%path%\DOTNET35.exe /q /norestart")

winwaitactive ("Microsoft Certificate Services")

send ("{enter}")

exit
