Hi everyone,

I have searched on this forum and on Google for these answers, but I've seen so many variations, that I thought I would try and get the "definitive" answer from you wonderful, fine, intelligent people

Could someone please tell me the switches for unattended (but minimal GUI - progress bar for example) installation with NO reboots of the following files in RunOnceEx:

- .NET 1.1 SP1 + ASP Update (all integrated - so the file to run is netfx.msi)

- .NET 3.5 SP1 FullFile (the file is dotnetfx35.exe)

- 3 Updates for .NET 3.5 SP1 (filenames are all .exes, not msis)

As I said, I have seen so many variations on the switches, I really don't know which ones to use.

Finally, should I extract the .NET 3.5 SP1 updates and try and integrate them into the main 3.5 SP1 install, or is that asking for trouble?

Many thanks!

Martin Hughes

Silent .NET Maker synthesized handle all this and more.

I install the ".NET Framework 3.5 + SP1" (fullfile) with the following switch:

/Q /NORESTART

Thanks guys!

For progress bar only: /qb /norestart

But still recommend you SNMsynth above.

This is the relevant part of my RunOnceEx.cmd File
