Silent .NET Maker synthesized 20100118 - W2K/XP/2K3 x86

[Kiki Burgh]

I'll change this for the next version.

i'll wait for your next ver

Both 2.0 framework process settings are yes at the same in the original .ini file, because It is not expected the user to download 2 different sources (single and redistributable) to process 2.0 framework from (and in that case an error message is displayed).

just a suggestion, perhaps it must be noted in the 1st post not to have both present.

It is intended for the user to be able to start the process without changing the .ini file for the general use.

precisely what i did in my initial run (not modifying anything) ... the only deviation being was the presence of both (NetFx20SP2_x86.exe & dotnetfx35.exe) sources in the work folder. again, noting in the 1st post would help. or perhaps, a modification in the script to skip or ignore specific line(s) if both are present but to be processed only from 1 source - dotnetfx35.exe being the latest (which incidentally contains .net 2.0 already). thanks again strel!

You are building an add-on for nLite-RVMI, for HFSLIP you need a switchless installer I think, you can extract it from the add-on.

hi strel! quick Q: wouldn't i need entries_XPDNF11SP120SP230SP235SP1.ini if i extract only XPDNF11SP120SP230SP235SP1.exe from the SVCPACK folder inside the compressed XPDNF11SP120SP230SP235SP1.7z to HFSVCPACK (of HFSLIP)? i'll ask the same in HFSLIP forum. thanks!

[Kiki Burgh]

hi strel! pardon me for asking but wouldn't your script be more complete if it included .NET Framework 1.0 SP3? or is it not necessary?

kindly look at my other posts lately too. i'll wait for your feedback.

thanks!

.net 1.0 is superseded by .net 1.1. Both have very little use today.

[Sp0iLedBrAt]

How I wish you were right, mooms. But the STUPID Encarta 2005 and 2006 don't care if you have .NET 2.0 or .NET 3.5 on you PC. It just goes ahead and installs .NET 1.1 and all you can do is whine, like I am doing now.

hi mooms! i have a few addon's (there could be others) that require .net 1.0 SP3 (i.e., Windows XP Tablet PC 2005 (English) by CODYQX4 (although the maker has already provided a modded 1:)). thanks!

[strel]

New version released.

Bugs fixed and new features added, specially support to build RunOnceEx add-ons.

Let me know if you find bugs.

Enjoy!

Kiki Burgh

You better use new version. It seems you are in the right path with your process. I'm not a user of HFSLIP, but I think it need switchless installers for HFSVCPACK, so you'll need .exe installer(s) only. And 1.1 superseeded 1.0 SP3.

appreciate this strel!

EDIT:just wanted to verify this part:

; -------  SPECIAL
; -- ALSOINSTALLERS=YES beside add-on(s) (any XXXADDONS=YES), also output switchless installer(s) compatible with HFSLIP.

setting this to YES is the one for me, right as i use hfslip? just need to rename XPDNF11SP120SP230SP235SP1.exe to something like DNAIO.exe to conform to the 8.3 file name format. already did a "hiccup-less" run btw. just merely confirming ... thanks again.

Just tested your new version for 2k and XP. It worked flawlessly.

Thanks for fixing the problem when running for 2k.

Another great job, strel. You rock!

ALSOINSTALLERS=YES takes effect only if one or both of T13ADDONS=YES and/or ROEADDONS=YES are present. In this case also output installers (.exe file(s)); add-on(s) setting(s) =YES normally don't give them as output (because you can extract them from the add-ons); with no add-ons settings =YES script gives installers (.exe file(s)) output.

Everybody

I'm interested in knowing if any of you use an OS (host or target) without Workstation service running, or with this service removed completely, as this method, in the last versions, is relying in this service to determine OS version (host and target) for building process and resultant installers/add-ons (except during setup process) respectively. May this require a change.

hmm ... so what i've come up with recently could be incomplete (might have made incorrect settings) ... pls see my PROCESSDATA.txt. thanks for the clarif strel!

Seems OK.

hi strel! thanks for the quick reply. i however did not set YES to the others as you've posted. this is how it looks like in my run:

end product was slightly smaller in size DNFAIO.exe (not .7z & renamed from XPDNF11SP120SP230SP235SP1.exe) going to try now setting both:

T13ADDONS=YES &

ALSOINSTALLERS=YES.

EDIT 1: results with the 2 values above set to YES produced 2 files in OUT1, namely:

XPDNF11SP120SP230SP235SP1.exe (42.4mb) &

T13XPDNF11SP120SP230SP235SP1.7z (42.9mb) --- this one when uncompressed has: entries_XPDNF11SP120SP230SP235SP1.ini & SVCPACK folder with XPDNF11SP120SP230SP235SP1.exe inside)

which 1 do i use now, the former (XPDNF11SP120SP230SP235SP1.exe)? maybe, my 1st attempt (with only ALSOINSTALLERS=YES & blank value for T13ADDONS= ) was correct after all.

EDIT 2: resulted only in 1 file: XPDNF11SP120SP230SP235SP1.exe (42.4mb). i'll use this.

got a little confused with:

[font="Courier New"]; -- T13ADDONS=YES output T-13 [b]nLite/RVMI[/b] add-on(s). Avoid output switchless installers (can be extracted from them).
; -- ALSOINSTALLERS=YES beside add-on(s) (any XXXADDONS=YES), also output switchless installer(s) compatible with [b]HFSLIP[/b].[/font]

your thoughts? appreciate it.

Edited November 28, 2009 by Kiki Burgh

[strel]

.exe installers and add-on(s) from the same run (or equivalent) are the same thing, the add-ons are just an encapsulation of the .exe's to automate T-13 or RunOnceEx install techniques.

.exe installers is what you need for HFSLIP. if any XXXADDONS=YES is set, the script only output add-on(s) (with .exe installers built-in), but you can use ALSOINSTALLERS=YES to output .exe installers also, not having to manually extract them if you need it later. ALSOINSTALLERS setting only works if any XXXADDONS=YES, otherwise is not used.
