Does .NETframework effect winnt.sif

[cumminbk]

Well i have been experimenting with .NET 2.0 trying to get it to install at the T-12 point of install but with no luck. I have notice that when NET is not installed my settings that cause my Royale theme to take effect do not work. The theme is still installed and everything but it is not the default theme at first boot. If NET 1.1 is installed then the Royale theme works perfectly. Any ideas on why this is?

This is the line i am using in my winnt.sif

[shell]

CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\Royale.theme"
