Alanoll Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 On a Windows CD (minus MCE and Tablet editions) the .NET Framework is ONLY located in the dotnetfx folder in the root of the CD. If you find it ANYWHERE else on the disc, either YOU added it there, or you got the CD who DID add it there. That's all there is to it. Trust me, i've torn the Windows CD to pieces.

hatred Posted July 3, 2005 Author Share Posted July 3, 2005 Ya I know that NET Framework is in the dotnetfx folder On my Cd .which Is Installing It Into my Windows Durring Installation. Thats what I Dont Want . Thats why I asked If I can Remove The dotnetfx Folder From The XP CD Dir Without Any Errors during Setup . Or Some Way Of Telling It Not to install. DotNetInstaller.exe gets Put In your program Files/Commonfiles\InstallShield/ProfessionalRunTime/09 In There Will Be 2 Folders a 00 and a 01 with intel32 inside go into that folder you'll see DotNetInstaller.exe With A bunch Of Dll's This Is what I Dont want windows To install/copy To my Drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 do you have a MCE or Tablet edition? If so, then NO you can't remove it.if you have a NORMAL XP edition, then it doesn't even matter as SETUP DOES NOTHING WITH THOSE FILES AT ALL! Perhaps i wasn't clear on that last time. But there is NO INSTALLATION OR COPYING done by WINDOWS SETUP in regards to the .NET Framework if it is NOT a Tablet or Media Center Edition.Now, one more time, just to be sure...YES, you can delete that folder if you DON'T have the Tablet or Media Center Editions. NO, it probably won't solve your problem, as setup DOESN'T DO ANYTHING with those files.Simply having that folder there, does NOT mean it will install the .NET Framework. Heck, even SPECIFYING to install won't have Windows install it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanoll Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 what aboutBut there is NO INSTALLATION OR COPYING done by WINDOWS SETUP in regards to the .NET Framework if it is NOT a Tablet or Media Center Edition.did you not understand?????IT'S NOT COMING FROM WINDOWS SETUP AT ALL! IT'S ONE OF YOUR PROGRAMS THAT'S ADDING IT! Perhaps it's coming from some DRIVER you have installing, perhaps even the ATI driver set including the Catalyst Control Center...

Perhaps it's coming from some DRIVER you have installing, perhaps even the ATI driver set including the Catalyst Control Center...<{POST_SNAPBACK}>You received this error message after running a diagnostic scan using antivirus software, such as Norton AntiVirus or Norton WinDoctor. Some diagnostic software recognizes DotNetInstaller.exe as a .NET application that depends on the .NET Framework and reports it. DotNetInstaller.exe is a .NET application that is used when an installation is installing .NET assemblies. InstallShield installs DotNetInstaller.exe as part of its engine files. DotNetInstaller.exe does not work on systems that do not have the .NET Framework, but the file is cached with the InstallShield engine files just in case it is needed in the future when the .NET Framework is installed. It is technically correct, but InstallShield always checks for the Framework before trying to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanoll Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 I could have sworn i told you could delete the dotnetfx folder, but i ALSO said that it won't solve your problem. I repeated myself 3 times to get my point across, and yet you didn't read ANY of them apparently. You could only read the one person who got annoyed enough to put a single word response in LARGE letters for you to get what i said originally.
