.NET 3.5 For Windows XP/2k3, .NET 2.0 For Windows 2000/XP/2k3, Last Updated 2011/10/16
If you like my build and want to make an addon with language packs, here are some points you should take

Description:

This is my work on dotnet framework. It features this tutorial so the size is noticable reduced. Also other efforts are made to keep the size even smaller and the content latest-updated.
Features:
• Compatible for 2k3/xp in one installer with all latest-updated components.
  
• Updates are listed out in ARP.
  
• T-13 compatible.
  
• all related items on MU are blocked. language packs are also blocked if you use this installer on a non-English OS.(coutesy of strel)
  
• Ability to exclude .NET firefox extension(i.e. .NET Framework Assistant for Firefox).(coutesy of strel)
  
• Several reliant components are removed to make the installer slim.
  
• Files are updated with latest from Vista and .NET 4.
Notes and Pre-requisites:
• VC8 and VC9 runtimes are removed from this installation. You must have VC8 runtime as pre-requisite for .NET 2.0 and VC9 runtime as pre-requisite for .NET 3.5. If you use Windows XP, My M$ Runtimes or Kel's Runtimes is a good solution for you.
  
• MSXML6 is removed, plz use an update pack containing it.(XP sp3 has MSXML6 natively.) This is a pre-requisite for .NET 3.0.
  
• WIC is removed, check this thread for detail.(XP sp3 has WIC natively.) This is a pre-requisite for .NET 3.0.
  
• XPS is removed, check this thread for detail. This is a pre-requisite for .NET 3.0.
  
• On KB961118: KB961118 is a junk-hotfix according to KB articles KB961118 and KB971314. Integrate KB971314 (and KB961118, according to some English OS users' reports) by nlite/HFSlip directly or use an update pack containing it to avoid MU pushing KB961118. Once KB971314 is integrated or installed, KB961118 is not needed any longer. (In fact for this pack, KB961118 does nothing more than stopping MU pushing it, it does not fix the issue describe in its KB article because we use a newer version of unidrv.dll.)

Contains:

Base Product:
• Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 x86 + KB959209
  
  • which equals to
  Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update (KB951847) x86 on Microsoft/Windows Update
  
  • also equals to
  .NET Framework 2.0 x86 SP2(with KB958481) + .NET Framework 3.0 x86 SP2(with KB958483) + .NET Framework 3.5 x86 SP1(with KB958484)
  
• .NET Framework 1.1 SP1, in an x-in-one addon.

Rollup Update:
• KB982168 for .NET Framework 3.5 SP1, which contains:
  • KB976769 for .NET Framework 3.0 SP2
  • Rollup Update KB982167 for .NET Framework 2.0 SP2, which has been superseded by rollup update KB2418241.
• KB982524 for .NET Framework 3.5 SP1, which contains:
  • KB977354-v2 for .NET Framework 3.0 SP2
  • KB976576 for .NET Framework 2.0 SP2
• KB2418241 for .NET Framework 2.0 SP2, which contains KB2418241 and KB980773(superseded by standalone update KB2539631)
• KB2572067 for .NET Framework 1.1 SP1

Standalone Updates:
• KB979909, KB2518864, KB2539631 and KB2572073 for .NET Framework 2.0 SP2
• KB971111 for .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 on Windows 2000
• KB982306 and KB2416473 for .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
• KB963707 for .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 if Firefox Extension is installed
• KB971108 for .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 on Windows 2000

Extra Updates:
• Updated files from .NET 4 for .NET 1.1 SP1 and .NET 2.0 SP2
• Updated files from Windows Server 2003 SP2 for .NET 1.1 SP1
• Updated files from Vista and .NET 4 for .NET 3.0 SP1
• UIAutomationCore.dll in .NET 3.0 SP1 and .NET 4 replaced with KB971513 for Vista

NOTE AGAIN:

make sure you have VC2005 Redist installed on your system before installing .NET 2.0!
make sure you have MSXML6, WIC and XPS installed on your system before installing .NET 3.0!
MSXML6 is a stuff most update pack contains(and is natively a component of XP SP3)
WIC is included in XP SP3, if you want here are updates.
XPS is an individual component, you can use my addon.
make sure you have VC2008 redist installed on your system before installing .NET 3.5!

Installer Switches:

Switches can be combined together, -gm2 and -ai always come prior to others.
• -ai Unattended installation
• -qb Passive
• -qn Silent
• -fo Execute ngen.exe for performance Full Optimizations
• -nf No Firefox Extension(You can also use -noffxbat or -noffclickonce to block respective firefox component from being installed)

Known Issues:

• If you install .NET 2.0/3.5 on Windows 2003 at T-13, you'll get the following error in setuperr.log:
  
  Error:
  Setup failed to install the .NET Framework Migration Package package (version 2.0) on your system.
  Software which depends on this package may not function properly. Contact your system administrator.
  However the installation is fine, despiting it may cause some ASP.NET issues, Event Viewer suggests this can be fixed by using aspnet_regiis.exe /i.
  The best solution is installing this installer on Windows 2003 at ROE or later, or you can wait for next release.
• The .NET 1.1 could be installed on Windows 2003, you should remove the "native" one and do some extra steps:
  Disable SFC.
  - OR -
  Hacking sfcfiles.dll to fulfill .NET 1.1's file names with '00'(empty character).

Downloads:

Downloads are svcpack.inf(T-13) addons with -ai (-ai -nf) switch. You can extract it to get the installer.
Additionally, you can change the mode by editing Entries_dotnetfx.ini and then compress them back.

hmm about svcpack

does this version still do that errors in the log

or i still have the use the runonce better ?

[drebin24a]

just curious if this is strictly 3.5 or is this the whole "family" (2.0 thru 3.5?)??

If I have XPSP3, I do NOT need MSXML6, correct?

And what is WIC?

Thanks

[yumeyao]

[mr_smartepants]

Sorry, but I'm confused.
What's the differences between this installer and user_hidden's installer?
From what I can tell, user_hidden has more kb patches but is not svcpack compatible.
And with the FireFox plugin...I don't want the nag, but more importantly I don't want the damn plugin installed in the first place! I'm still surprised M$ isn't being slammed in court for that one!
Thanks.

@mr_smartepants
glad it works.
@ccl0
just edit entries_dotnetfx.ini to change the switch. both entries_dotnetfx and svcpack\dotnetfx are processed directly by nlite/RVMI so it doesn't matter what kind of archive you are using as long as it's supported and you don't change the file structure.

New update came out today. Not sure how on top of things you are, but here it is if you're interested.

I'm going to try to apply it to my own MSI and take a look at the WUFIXES.MST file to see what changes need to be made to it. If I get it working, I can just send it all to you to save you the trouble. Lemme know.


Edit--
Almost forgot. Here's the update:

What do you guys add to your msi to fix MU?

I use a .reg file

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. I can't seem to figure it out either. I'll take a look at it again later.

I want to use that same method to modify another MSI I have as well. I just don't know what they're doing.


Rick, what's in your .reg? I'm thinking I could just use that as a reference point for modifying the MST.

[yumeyao]

I use the same way as strel uses, we create msts containing vb scripts(*.vbs) and call them from the msi installation progress.

the *.vbs's are located in mst's binary table, and related actions are in customaction and installsequence.

the pros of this method is it can "clean up" the registry upon uninstallation, and we can set conditions for each set of registry ( 2-pass, we can set condition in msi, and also in vbs ).

Here is my .reg files (I got the first 3 from another .net aio) http://www.mediafire.com/?rh4bzjdmtmj

[dumpydooby]

There are a lot of references to .NET Framework 3.0 and 3.5 in the WUFIXES20.MST file. Is that intentional?


I found the VBS files, but I don't know how to stick them back in the MST after I'm done editing them. I'll see if I can figure it out.



And thanks Rick. As a temporary solution, I can create an MST with those registry entries added as well as the one that just came out today/yesterday. I really wish I knew how to add VBS files to an MSI, though. That'd be badass.

I would luv this also, if it would be at all posible to make a .mst for each individual .net with the vsb and share it with us plz yumeyao?

Or share the vsb files and show us how to embed it

[dumpydooby]

Download a program called "InstEd It!" (it's free)

Then open the MST with that program. It will ask you to browse to an MSI, so just pick Netfx20a_x86.msi.

Once it opens, you'll see a window like the one below. The green highlights indicate the changes made by the MST. The picture below also depicts how to extract the VBS files.

http://xpdnc.org/hosted/images/4ec2c7eab3c564c4273b7f5c04d8f7436520f579.png


And here are those files:

http://xp.xpdnc.org/temp/WuFixes20-VBS.zip



But again, Strel says that nothing needs to be modified. I'm in the process of trying to confirm that right now. I'll let you know.




While we're on this subject, for those that don't know, to apply the hotfix you just do this:

1. download the hotfix.
2. open/extract it with 7-zip.
3. grab that MSP that's right there in the root of the archive.
4. then enter the following at a command prompt:

[yumeyao]

Check this post(post #352), it descripts how I decide to block all updates from MU.

Yet when it comes to reality, blocking KB951847 is also needed for installing 3.0/3.5 because the installs break "%MSIInstallerPATH%\Patches\".

Hope it makes sense to you. And I think I don't have to explain what does each vbs do, right?

I'm currently busy working on my update pack and IE8/WMP addons, so I haven't a glance at the new update for .NET 2.0.
KB975025 and KB969878 really confuse me because I think the files they update are already obsolete and useless.
Tomorrow is a day filled with lectures, and I have to go to sleep now, see you guys later.

Good afternoon.

Tried your latest dotnetfx.exe with -a1 switch from svcpack, in english WinXP SP3 x86 unattended setup. Installed with no errors/nags.

When the installations of XP finished in VMWare, optional windows updates said that I needed to install "Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update (KB951847) x86"

[yumeyao]

very odd. Although it works for my chinese XP SP3, I'll do a test on english OS later.

Hey yumeyao would it be OK if I used your WU & FontCache MST's in my Spanish dotnet 4 in one?

They really work well

BTW what is this error and is it normal?



And what does WaitNET.exe by roguespear do?

@madsc & @tomidis:
check ARP. Are .NET frameworks listed there?
If not, probably your systems don't meet the pre-requisites: VC 2005 & VC 2008 runtimes.

@rick:
sure you can. You may wait for my upcoming release that fix some issues on windows 2000.
I'm not sure of that error, let me check it in my next tests.

@rick:
well your 4-in-1 can't run on win 2000 so you can use the mst of the current version.

@tomidis:
I can't reproduce your issue.
I used user_hidden's Update Pack + my WMP11 Addon + code65536's M$ Runtimes, tested in VM, flawlessly.

@all:
Then I think it's safe to release my latest work. including .NET 2.0 SP2 pack improvements for windows 2000, and a 0.8 MB size reducant of .NET 3.5 FULL for xp/2k3.

So..... a new update comes again.

changelog:
0.8 MB reducant on all xp/2k3 packages by removing components that are only needed by 2000.
Do not block .NET 3.0/3.5 and related updates on 2000 to keep the system clean.
KBxxxxxxs for .NET 2.0 in ARP on windows 2000 are gone.

thanks for the update

I'm going to use yours instead of user_hidden's because I couldn't get microsoft updates to apply to his.

[keloo05]

What does "without firefox extension" mean? Please explain. If i don't have Firefix installed, which mode should I choose? Thank you for your hard work.

[ricktendo64]

How do you direct it so use QFE branch when slipstreaming?
