Thanks again, Rick... ;-)

Updated Slim 4.5.1 LDR with RC build

If i install .NET 4.5.1 do i also need to install .NET 4.0 and 4.5 in order to have all the libraries or 4.5.1 already contains all the 4.X libraries?.

 

What about if i only install 4.5, do i also need to install 4.0?.

 

Thanks a lot and sorry for ur time!.

4.5.1 RC supersedes/replaces 4.5, which in turn supersedes/replaces 4.0 (you only need one)

Once 4.5.1 becomes final I will drop 4.5 completely, the only reason I maintain 4.0 is for XP users (4.5+ is not compatible with XP)

Strangely enough 4.0 is downloaded most, I think this is because Win Vista/7 users see Microsoft Update telling them they need to download 4.0 and they don't know that 4.5 is best for them.

Does 4.5.1 installer reboots PC intentionally, when installed with /ai switch?

I have never tried it, you could add /ai /norestart if it does

Currently it definately reboots, will try that...but first I have to set up clean VM...

Will report back, thank you

 

EDIT: Worked like charm (y)

For silent-install: /y

With /? you get all the options (have a look to post #1).

thanks for new update Mr.Rick :beerchug:

will install soon :beerchug:

Fixed kb2889889 not showing in installed updates (this is a cosmetic fix only, no need to reinstall)

4.5.1 is now final.   :dancing:

 

Also, Pointzero was linking some new VC++ files from a hotfix, and also VC++ 2013 is available from Microsoft on the official page (scroll down).

Added 4.5.1 RTM (intl will follow tomorrow)

BTW 4.5 installer unchanged, will remove when I finish the intl package

Thank you, ricktendo !

finaly the 4.5.1 :beerchug:

only in this forum we found offline installer that slim version. i think this is better than ori installer that bloatware

thanks for making slim for dotnet4.5.1, downloading now :beerchug:

see u :welcome:

Intl is up

Thank you rick

I've noticed for 4.5.1 the installer's name changed a little. dotNetFx451_Full_LDR_x86_x64_Slim - what does LDR stand for? Any update for 4.5.1 will be installed only via LDR branch? This has changed from 4.5?

 

And thank you very much for the update!

4.5 installer by default was GDR but I patched it with KB2519265 to change it to take LDR updates (these are non security bug fixes,) with 4.5.1 (it changed) there are 2 installers with 2 sets of files

 

netfx_Full_GDR_x*.msi       andnetfx_Full_LDR_x*.msi

If you ONLY care about security updates you would choose the GDR, but if you want security updates and "hotfixes" from the microsoft knowledge base you should pick LDR (these will fail to install if you install the GDR)

If you are using the default EXE and you want to install the LDR branch you need to use

 

<ndp451_installer>.exe /trainswap

BTW

LDR = Limited Distribution Release (same as QFE = Quick Fix Engineering)

GDR = General Distribution Release

Hi rick, thanks for the updated installer, any idea when it will be pushed on Windows Update ?

Also, if I want to keep only French LP, it is OK to delete all netfx_FullLP*.msi and locale folders in system and system64 except French ones (and editing the sfx config of course) ?
 
Or maybe it is better to add the French files in the En-US installer ?

Probably never, I still only get offered 4.0 on Windows 7 SP1

I will publish single LP's and SFX repackers later, maybe tomorrow on on the weekend

Good day Rick. I would like to appeal to you with the request. Could you put installers language resources, as you have done in the next topic for further repacking your installer with the only Russian language packs.

 

Thank you in advance for your work, you are very simplifying life so I IT staff support.

 

I apologize for my bad English.
