Paul 365 Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 Can anyone explain to me what this does and what the benifits are.Is it something i should allways install or something i should allways ignore.Thanks
Aaron Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 There's a hotfix update for .Net Framework 1.1?
Bachus Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 Going on a hunch, he's referring to the framework as a hotfix for Windows, but I could be wrong. At any rate, the .NETFramework is like the VB6 runtimes that we used to have to download to use programs. Basically, if you want to use a .NET program, you need this.
Paul 365 Posted September 10, 2003 Author Posted September 10, 2003 Sorry yes that wasnt very clear i wrote it at sillyoclock this morning.I mean the .Net framework that show up in the windows update after a fresh install.I have not installed it here and have never been asked for it by a program, do you think it will be something that will increase with time? silly question really?Opinions please
vcant Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 i would say that amount of programs for .NET wil definetly increase with time, more and more developer are switching to .NET programing.microsoft already included .NET Framework 1.1 with Windows 2003, and i belive will iclude it Longhorn, or any future release of windows.
Paul 365 Posted September 10, 2003 Author Posted September 10, 2003 I Guess i should consider installing this as well then.Thanks
b0r3d Posted September 11, 2003 Posted September 11, 2003 My winnt.sif program is programed in vb.net. You'll need the .net framework if you want to run it
webmedic Posted September 11, 2003 Posted September 11, 2003 yea and all those nifty little installer look good thingies are using .net . It amkes it hard to use something that isn't even installed early enough in install. I think those things look nice and all but wont be vrery usable durring install.
Paul 365 Posted September 11, 2003 Author Posted September 11, 2003 Are you talking about the .inf files that you posted? if so where are you installing the .net stuff?
webmedic Posted September 11, 2003 Posted September 11, 2003 no there are two thingies floating around here that are actual programs. One using xml and another using an ini file for setting them up to do the install stuff for you. My inf installers can be sed anywere and anytime. They could be used under win98 if you wanted to. As for me i install the .net stuff from an inf file that is started from cmdlines.txt.
b0r3d Posted September 11, 2003 Posted September 11, 2003 @webmedicWhen you get some spare time, would you like to write a step by step guide? I find it hard to follow instructions when they are scattered and updated all throught a forum topic.Id really appreciate it
webmedic Posted September 11, 2003 Posted September 11, 2003 ok if I get time latter today I'll post a topic on how to use inf files for your install. It's not so hard but I did have to mess with it quite a while to get some parts of it figured out.
Paul 365 Posted September 11, 2003 Author Posted September 11, 2003 Is there any reason why you use cmdlines.txt as opposed to the guirunonce section in winnt.sif ?
