.NET Framework (How to install ?)

[Sadness905]

Hi,

i have XPSP2 CD, in the Autorun -> Perform additional tasks -> install .NET Framework

when i press on this option, nothing happens ..

i know that the file is located in "CD:\cmpnents\netfx\i386\netfx.cab" , how can i install .NET Framework by this file ??

given that i've read all the suggested solutions found on this forum, but i can't download the 23 MB .Net Framework 1.1

file since my internet connection is very bad, could anyone give me another solution please,,,, i'd appreciate help ..

Bye

On your CD, isn't there a DOTNETFX folder? There is an .exe inside.

create one.... and stick ryanvm's .net silent installer in there (remember to rename it to "setup" without the quotes)

Do what canuckerfan suggests. In my case I copied that DOTNETFX folder from the free SP2 CD from Microsoft and also updated a bunch of other files in my original gold XP CD with this CD. After doing a backup, that option to install framework worked. Unfortunately seems that Microsoft is not giving away this SP2 CD anymore.

Mr. canuckerfan & Mr. Fox Mulder

also note that ryan's installer has sp1 and a hotfix for .net integrated right into the installer. so once it's installed, there's no need to patch it
