NetFramework asking for disk.

[Chris Lee]

I put all my software onto my CD, and I am installing from cd with the %cdrom% comment, and this installer loads, and at the end of the status box of Netframework, it asks me to "Please insert the disk: Microsoft . Net framework 1.1"

How can I stop it from asking? pressing OK does not make it go away

strange, it works perfectly from teh CD with my install ...

and I use the exact same technique (with the reistry entries etc)

The MS powertoys REG ADD statements:

REG ADD %KEY%\020 /VE /D "Photo resizing Powertoy" /fREG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\install\PHOTOINSTALL.EXE /Q" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\030 /VE /D "PowerCalc Powertoy" /fREG ADD %KEY%\030 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\install\POWERCALCINSTALL.EXE /Q" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\040 /VE /D "CommandWindow Powertoy" /fREG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\install\CMDINSTALL.EXE /Q" /f

the .NET REG ADD statements:

REG ADD %KEY%\090 /VE /D ".net Framework" /fREG ADD %KEY%\090 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\install\dotnetfx\netfx.msi /qn" /f

all the files are on the CD in the /install/ directory as you can see.

Thanks Boran_blok,

Although I don't use the "registry" method, I'll see if I can get my .NET installation to work.

Thanks for posting.

Kind regards,

%CDROM%\Applications\NetFramework\netfx.msi /qn

does not work. It doesn't install at all.

Same here... Not working for me either.

Try packaging .net Framework in an iexpress package, you'll save 10mb as well:

I've repackaged it as described in Greenmachine's guide. When I try to install it, I get the following error:

Can't open this installation package. Check if the package exists and if you have permission to the package, or contact the manufacturer of the application to check if the package is a valid Windows-Installer packet.

What am I doing wrong?

(BTW: I'm using Dutch copy of WinXP Pro and English version of .Net Framework, because Dutch version of that doesn't exist. However, I install a Dutch languagepack)

EDIT: stupid me I've found a Dutch version, link to Microsoft's download page

REM: tested it: dotnetfx.exe /Q:A /R:N ==>result: installed silent, but still a confirming screen at the end... Isn't there a switch, or do I really have to repackage it?

[Chris Lee]

I repacked it and it works. Thanks.

Chris,

i'm getting the exact same error now. I'm not sure how exactly you fixed the problem. did you repackage it or use different syntax? I user RunOnceGuiEx an the following syntax :

REG ADD %KEY%\002 /VE /D ".Net Framework v1.1" /fREG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 1 /D "msiexec /qb /i %CDROM%\Software\DotNet11\dotnetfx\netfx.msi" /f

Thanks

I did the repackage.

I used the switch /Q:A /R:N

Thanks Chris,

I'll attempt the same. On a related note, are others using the same syntax above and *not* seeing the error message above? Is there a reason for this? Anybody care to comment?

Thanks for your help
