Add NET framework 2.0 to unattended install.

[cumminbk]

I want to add netframework 2 to my new unattended disc but what switches should i use? should i extract the msi and use the switches on that? i tried ryans switchless but it did not install from my cmdlines.txt/batch file how are other users applying this file?

there is a silent setup that Zxian created over in this thread http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=59211 this one you only need to call the .exe no switches needed. there is another method of installing the framework and javaruntime environment by using svcpack.inf, i havent tried it myself but many ppl have had success with it. you can find info on how todo this over on ryans forum http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=373

hope this helps.

I tried a switch i found in this post http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=59211&st=10

dotnetfx.exe /q:a /c:"install /l /q"

and it seemed like it worked too. I first used the Run section in the start menu and it installed perfectly with this switch. but when i added switch to the file in my batch file during the unattended installation the net 2 did not install. Why is this. I am running my batch at the 12 min mark i use cmdlines.txt to call my batch file which runs the hotfixes along with net 2. i used this same method to install net 1.1. how are other ppl getting this to install on there CDs?

All I do is:

ECHO Installing .NET FrameWork 2.0
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\dotnetfx2\install.exe /q
ECHO.

That's after extracting the file from microsoft.com and extracting to dotnetfx2 dir.

@cumminbk

Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 WILL NOT install @ T-13, T-12. or T-9.

You must install 2.0 thru guirunonce or runonceex.

@ shark that is very disapointing to hear. I would install it during RUNONCE or something but if i do it that way i am unable to get my unattended theme to work (Royale)

I really wanted it to work during the install process. i guess its back to NET 1.1

Here is how I got 2.0 to install

%cdrom%\Install\DotNet\dotnet.exe /Q /C:"install.exe /Q"

[cumminbk]

@ghostie so are you saying that your switch %cdrom%\Install\DotNet\dotnet.exe /Q /C:"install.exe /Q" allows it to work during the install process or are you using runonce? If there is a method to install NET 2.0 not using runonce i would like to know

[Ghostie]

That should work for you by just changing the file location. I used the 23 meg version I got directly from Microsoft not modified in any way.

yea ill give that a shot what install method did you use though how are you calling the file to be installed? I used the net 2 from microsoft also.
