willpantin Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 The following questions are for Windows XP Pro:I.- Does SP2 include the following, or do they have to be added to Unattended?1.- DotNetFramework 1.12.- Movie Maker 23.- MDAC 2.8 (plus Q832483.exe hotfix).II.- Will most SP1 registry tweaks work alright in SP2?

willpantin Posted August 16, 2004 Author Share Posted August 16, 2004 Ok, it seems from what I have read elsewhere that:1. You will still need to install DotNetFramework 1.1However, the strange thing is that there is a DNF cab file in the SP2 Unattended folder:\cmpnents\netfx\i386Is this one DNF 1.1, and if so, why doesn't it get installed?2. Apparently, MDAC 2.8 does not need installing, as MDAC 2.81 is supposed to be part of the SP2 install, thus replacing our previous MDAC unattended install and the hotfix patch.3. Movie Maker 2: no info yet. I'll edit this once I complete my first successful Unattended SP2 install, which is in progress, as I write this.4. Haven't seen anything regarding old registry tweaks not working. However, I think it is logical to assume some won't, and will need new tweak settings.

dirtyepic Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Movie Maker 2 is included in SP2 - it's build 2.1.4026.0and just as a side note - looking up the version number for you was the first time i've ever opened Movie Maker in my life. SP1 tweaks will work. the only reason i could see them not working is if they changed something for security reasons. haven't come across anything so far though.

willpantin Posted August 16, 2004 Author Share Posted August 16, 2004 dirtyepic,Thanks for the info... True regarding MM2, I haven't used it yet either...! Still, was curious, and intend to check it out in the future.What's the deal though with DNF 1.1? Why does it not also install by default?Is there a way to enable its installation from "\cmpnents\netfx\i386\netfx.cab"? B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 the netfx.cab is .NET 1.0, and is only there as a by product of the slipstream. It's required for Media Center and Tablet PCs andis installed with those. If you wanted, there is a INF file in I386, that starts with netfx, and you can modify that to install .NET for all systems.

willpantin Posted August 16, 2004 Author Share Posted August 16, 2004 Alanoll,Thanks for that info...! Very useful. Based on that, I eliminated those Media Center and Tablet PC directories from my Unattended CD. (I kept them on my DVD version, of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 there is an INF file in I386, that starts with netfx, and you can modify that to install .NET for all systems.Could you please describe what needs to be edited to do so?And whether the netfx folder can be left in CMPNENTS folder to do this, or should the files in it be moved into I386?
