When I do the silent install with the following command

start /wait %CDROM%\dotnetfx\netfx.msi /qb /norestart

the installer ask me to insert the .NET Framework 1.1 CD. Anyone knows a way to correct this?

is your net framework administrative or the standard?

It's administrative. Where can i download the standart?

By the way, when i run an msi installer i get an error about a nonfunctioning Installshield service, though the silent instalations of msis went well...

The original installer is just too heavy.

Download the re-packed .NET fw SP1 installer from here - http://ryanvm.net/msfn/. It is already tailor-made for silent install, no switches needed, just execute it.

Thanks, i used that package and also included the Windows Installer 3.0 Instalation and everything works perfect!

where would we be without ryanvm...

Yeah, I found several things referred to his site but bandwidth exceeded so it is suspended!!

i am curious (as always hehe) to know how to slipstream the sp1 into the package

Anyone care to know the info on this or ryan, is this another really complex one?

Cheers,

Ooo, this is an easy one.

Is there any place to download the files from RyanVM? I cant connect to ftp site because of our firewall... (port 5121)

Please help!

i created a silent installer for myself too. but is isn't as small as ryan's installer. i can upload it if anyone is interested.

Edit: Here it is. This is just an alternative. Of course, ryan's installer is better because it is smaller.

Its called the search button. Check the unattended section, it has more info on it.

To explain why the person was having the original problem; its because you are running the msi off the cd. It needs to be run off the hd. Donno why it is like that for the dotnet package, but it is. Ryan's package should work, because it will extract to the hd first, then run the msi.

Is it possible to integrate a language pack inside the installer? I am not able to see the framework starting in italian and that's quite strange because i'm sure I've downloaded the italian versions of the installers and patches.

Kind Regards
