r0sWell Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Hello,i create a new topic for my problem, which is that after having reduced my Windows XP Unattended CD using the great Reducing Size of Source method by Gosh, it's impossible to install Microsoft .Net FrameWork !i think that those who have used this method to add more space on their CD should have this problem too, shouldn't they ?here is my CD structure :--root (XPBOOT.BIN, WIN51, WIN51IP, win51ip.SP2, setupxp.htm)---------$oem$ (cmdline.txt, useraccount.cmd, runonceex.cmd...)------------------$1-----------------------Drivers----------------------------------001_intel_sata_raid (ich5 sata & raid)-----------------------Hotfixes (all my softwares)-----------------------Install (regtweaks, cleanup...)------------------$$-----------------------System32---------BOOT------------------system32---------i386------------------asms (contains others directories : 1, 2, 10, 52, 60, 70, 1000, 5100, 6000, and 7000)------------------svcpack (created by me for Themes.exe)------------------system32 (ntdll.dll & smss.exe)i searched on the forum to find methods, but the 2 methods doesn't work !1st : create a 'dotnetfx' directory at the root of the CD and place 'dotnetfx.exe'2nd : create a directory 'dotnetfx' at the root of the CD and extract 'dotnetfx.exe' in it, after this, rename 'install.exe' by 'setup.exe'both methods don't work at all !so i tested to install it using a RunOnceEx commande, with my others programs...when it comes, i have an error with the System Restore. It tells me that i must activate System Restore to install FrameWork 1.1, but i activated it !so i really don't kinow how it is possible to install DOTNET Framework after have used the Gosh's Reducing Size of Source method.please help, thank you in advance.

Alanoll Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 have you tried installing .NET when the computer is done installing?When are you trying to install .NET?2nd : create a directory 'dotnetfx' at the root of the CD and extract 'dotnetfx.exe' in it, after this, rename 'install.exe' by 'setup.exe'That's only to get the link in the autorun to work.

r0sWell Posted August 21, 2004 Author Share Posted August 21, 2004 i tested to install the .Net Framework 1.1 using RunOnceEx, after Windows XP installation, with my others software.this works perfectly well for my Windows SP1a, but for SP2.here is what i use for SP1a :REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1" /fREG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Hotfixes\NetFramework\netfx.msi /qn" /fthis doesn't work anymore.when comes the moment to install Net Framework 1.1 (runonceex.cmd) a message box appears and tells me that i have to enable the System Restore, so i click "OK" and it doesn't install itself...please help if you know why it tells me that.system restore was enabled thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0sWell Posted August 21, 2004 Author Share Posted August 21, 2004 upedit :i've just tested again, and after the Windows installation, i still cannot install framework.so it seems there is an external problem too i verified again, System Restore is not checked, so it's enabled.i verified again the status of all Windows Services, and System Retore is in "Auto" and "Started".System Restore depends on RPC, which is started too.i don't understand.

Denney Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 I've nLited my CD and removed System Restore, I've integrated SP2 and I've used Gosh's method to reduce source even more.I have NO problems installing the .NET Framework. Even on a non-nLited CD, it works flawlessly.What else have you done to your CD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0sWell Posted August 22, 2004 Author Share Posted August 22, 2004 i think it's solved now.in the error box that appears, there is a link to Microsoft support :microsoft support linkit is described.i modified the Rollback in my registry tweaks i don't tested again but it must work now.@Raverod : you have used Gosh's reducting size of source method ?did you run nlite b4 reducing size of source, or after ?is it different ? i mean i would want to test this too.i would want to ask you, why have you removed system restore, some softwares need it, needn't they ?and i have seen that nlite add a nlite.cmd in the i386 folder, for cleanup if i remember correctly, but to clean what (if you know) ?

Denney Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 One thing about using Gosh's method, you can't integrate Windows hotfixes into your install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0sWell Posted August 23, 2004 Author Share Posted August 23, 2004 One thing about using Gosh's method, you can't integrate Windows hotfixes into your install.good to know.i used nlite and slim down my unattended CD to 393Mb, or 615Mb /w softwares.i removed defragmenter (i use diskeeper 8.0) and system restore too, without any problem but i still have only one problem left.there are some directories in Program Files that cannot be removed : - microsoft frontpage,- msn gaming zone,- windows nt,- xerox.Deletion is refused, because they're already "in use by another application".But theses directories are empty, or contains sub-directories that are empty.i would want to delete them in my cleanup.cmd at the end of RunOnceEx.RD /S /Q "%systemdrive%\Program Files\Common Files" ->deletedRD /S /Q "%systemdrive%\Program Files\ComPlus Applications" ->deletedRD /S /Q "%systemdrive%\Program Files\microsoft frontpage" -> not deletedRD /S /Q "%systemdrive%\Program Files\msn gaming zone" ->not deletedRD /S /Q "%systemdrive%\Program Files\Services en ligne" ->deletedRD /S /Q "%systemdrive%\Program Files\windows nt" ->not deletedRD /S /Q "%systemdrive%\Program Files\xerox" ->not deletedthx in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xSource Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 These folders are in use by the Windows Logon App (winlogon.exe) thus making it next to impossible to delete them. However, if you remove sfcfiles.dll (you don't use Windows File Protection, do you ?) or rename it to something else, such as _sfcfiles.dll, deleting the dirs will be no problem. Note that if you rename the file back to sfcfiles.dll, for example, if you want to check the integrity of your Windows files, and reboot your machine, Windows will automatically recreate the folders .Oh, yes, and be sure to edit dosnet.inf, layout.inf and txtsetup.sif so that they point to the renamed file, otherwise Setup will generate an error message during its text-mode portion.
