Slipstreaming .net framework

[NEO-BAHAMUT-]

Hi guys,

not posted for a short while.

I have a legit copy of Windows XP Sp3 and I have been using Nlite for a number of years now. To aquire all XPSP3 updates i use WUD and also use the latest URL for it.

I have only ever been able to slipstream the following items - Critical Updates, IE7+updates, Media Player 11 and Windows Defender.

I use this for work purposes. However. In order for my to use Group Policy to roll out all the software we currently use we Need .net framwork 2.0 installed. However if it is possible i would also like to slipstream all the service packs for .netfx with it. Is it possible for me to slipstream .netfx and is it quite simple to do? When ever i have tried slipstreaming it via Nlite it has failed.

Any help would be nice.

Thanks.

Any chance of the answer for the rest of us?

I do them from the runonce or cmdlines with silent switches. This way my customers will have the ability to uninstall the items via the control panel.

REG ADD %REGKEY%\001 /VE /D "installing dot net 3.5" /f

REG ADD %REGKEY%\001 /v 1 /D "%path%\dotnet35.exe /q /norestart" /f

REG ADD %REGKEY%\002 /v 2 /D "net stop msiserver" /f

REG ADD %REGKEY%\003 /VE /D "Installing Windows Media Player 11" /f

REG ADD %REGKEY%\003 /v 3 /D "%path%\wmp11.exe /Q:A" /f

REG ADD %REGKEY%\003 /v 4 /D "%path%\KB954154.exe /passive /norestart" /f

Thank you

Where do I put the binaries? dotnet35.exe, wmp11 and KB954154.exe

Do I put them on the root of the disc before creating ISO?

[iamtheky]

mine are in the

-i386\$oem$\D\software

so the users have local copies in their d:\software as well. I also ran into issues where if you installed something from the disc path, it would prompt the user to reinsert the media when making modifications to the application's install. determined it made life easier to let the install copy them over then execute them from the local disk.

You could probably get away with putting them anywhere browsable as they follow 8.3, think it will just be ease of use and maintainability as driving factors.

Cool

So I I add them to i386\$oem$\D\software

and add

REG ADD %REGKEY%\001 /VE /D "installing dot net 3.5" /f

REG ADD %REGKEY%\001 /v 1 /D "%path%\dotnet35.exe /q /norestart" /f

REG ADD %REGKEY%\002 /v 2 /D "net stop msiserver" /f

REG ADD %REGKEY%\003 /VE /D "Installing Windows Media Player 11" /f

REG ADD %REGKEY%\003 /v 3 /D "%path%\wmp11.exe /Q:A" /f

REG ADD %REGKEY%\003 /v 4 /D "%path%\KB954154.exe /passive /norestart" /f

to the Run once tab in nlite it should fly?

[iamtheky]

only if you partition the drive, otherwise Id go with a C folder instead of D

[johnhc]

iamtheky, where is %REGKEY% defined and what is its value? Thanks, John.

[iamtheky]

mmmmm sarcasm, you forgot to ask about %path% as well

I also didnt read the last line where it said you just throw them in the Nlite run once tab, I dont set my runonceex through nlite.

http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/31/

put this on top of the runonce file if you use my strings verbatim.

@echo off

cls

SET REGKEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

and path is wherever those files end up, but you can type all the absolute paths if you are not fond of wildcards.

[johnhc]

iamtheky, thanks, no sarcasm meant on my part. I found the value of %path% using the SET command with no parameters in a command prompt. Also, thanks for the link. Enjoy, John.

[iamtheky]

I suppose I should not add inflection to text, all apologies.

[NEO-BAHAMUT-]

Thanks for helping out guys. Im kind of a noob though when it comes to running command lines and such. Would you be able to give me a hind sight as to what i do to slipstream them on to a Windows XP Sp3 CD?

thanks.
