net framework hotfix silient install.

[kwpro]

I have recently downloaded the updates from windowsupdate.com, the only problem i had was that microsoft dosn't let you download .NET framework hotfix directly from there website, only from windowsupdate.com. here is how to retrieve the file and then perform a silent install.

1: Select and download only the .NEt framework update patch from windowsupdate.com

2: Go to C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download and select the file "535f57e5a8eceab18533c50c0b0e1469ed45331f". this file is 1,541kb in size.

3: Copy to your desktop and add the extention .exe to file.

4: Create a shortcut file with the switch "/xp" it will ask were to save the file, save it to the desktop.

5: the file it extacts is a .msp file and the silent install switch for this file is "/q /norestart".

I havn't tested this on a uninstall cd so i dont know if it works, please give feedback if it does work.

P.S I have just noticed i havn't spelled silent correctly in the topic header, please hit me with eggs now.

cause when i do only /Q the instalation stops at that hotfix

it shows these switches :

yes same switch: /xp to extract .msp file

[IcemanND]

NDP1.1sp1-KB886903-X86.exe /q

use /? to get all install options.

EDIT: DOH! too slow on the mouse.

[muiz]

like i said when i use only /q the install stops

[titou2k]

you can also see here how to integrate sp1 and hotfix in framework then make sfx setup.

[muiz]

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\hotfix\KB886903.exe /Q

this stops my instalation, it just sits there....zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

next try":

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\hotfix\M886903.msp /q /norestart

[muiz]

works like a charm now , ty u all

[keytotime]

can we patch the original install to include the update?

msiexec /p C:\M886903.msp /a C:\.net\netfxsp1.exe /qb

you can slipstream the hotfix on the main package using the .msp.

if the hotfix stops while installing be sure that you call the framework setup before (that was my error ). /q switch should be ok
