Version 4.5.1 replace 4.5??

Version 4.5.1 replace 4.5??

Yes!

4.5.1 updates the "old" 4.5 on a running windows; if you do a new installation, you need only 4.5.1.

Edit:

I installed the new repack 4.5.1 silent with the options /y /sfxlang:1031 (no problem or errors) but

 

the new repack (4.5.1 LDR) does NOT update the language-pack 4.5, i.e. after installig the repack 4.5.1_intl language-pack 4.5 is still present in the list of installed programs.

After that I uninstalled both and installed 4.5.1 again (only an error from catalyst, because he needs FW 4.0 and higher): all OK after restart.

OK!! Thanks!!

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

 

 

Even if 4.5 is installed ?

OK for the repack.

Rick, I ran the installer on a live system with the /Y and it asked for a reboot:

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

More info

 

Rick,

 

I'm not certain I follow the above.  What do I do if I only want the GDR version?  Is there a separate installer available?

No, I am not going to bother with the GDR installer

@compstuff simple solution, use /y /norestart

@mooms Windows 7 with no .net 4x offers 4.0, not 4.5 and I dont think it will change with 4.5.1

@Thiersee you did a upgrade install over .net 4.5?

Did the LP install at any point?

@Thiersee you did a upgrade install over .net 4.5?

Yes, I did.

Only after 4.5-LP-uninstall.

Hi, Do you have a vbs slimmer script for the msi's that you can share?

Thanks Rick

Yes, I did.

Only after 4.5-LP-uninstall.

Thats the way you should do things, this installer is "slim" because I removed most the setup stuff that uninstalls older .net 4x versions.

I will add the vbs slim script and other tools later, but for now you can find a link for the vbs in the .net 4.0 topic (there is a 4.5.1 version in there)

@compstuff the reason I wont add /norestart is because I want my installer to be more like the original and ask to reboot if needed, not like a addon type thing that installs in the b.g. without dialogs

OK, I'll do this way!

Yes I'm aware of that, but if 4.5 is installed, I suppose 4.5.1 will be proposed.

Perfect,

 

 Just made GDR one for myself.

 

Thank You Rick.

 

I was gonna ask you guys what switches you add to make it silent. I have tried these below and  it didn't work.

/ai /norestart

/s /norestart

...then I tried with no switches and I got the same error.

 

Let me guess, its a repack by you...the installer name is all wrong in YOUR repack

Next time give all the facts, dont come saying there is a problem with MY installer when its clearly NOT mine you are using

Nope, I haven't touch an .exe, I just dropped it in "scripts" folder along with setupcomplete.cmd  and added this lane:

 

START /WAIT %windir%\Setup\Scripts\dotNetFx451_Full_LDR_x86_x64_Slim.exe 

 

then I tried those switches above.

 

I am just trying figure it out what went wrong, that's all. I didn't happen before.

Edit: I see now you are the one adding /norestart...compare the MD5

Anyway, added proper tools to repack for those interested, you will find them on the first post

After few restarts of my laptop it works with no problem.

 

I have no idea wtf happened? no errors this time.

I had that error with the first installer I made with 4.5.1 Preview, you could have still had that one

BTW did a refresh of the "intl" installer, nothing major (no need to reinstall your LP if you have already installed it.)

I did fresh install again...

 

Really strange. I downloaded again, used the tools provided by you in  first post to  repack and make it silent and all went as smooth as butter.

 

Thanks and sorry for the confusion.

awesome..... working perfectly.

thanks ricktoo

The downloading site is out... :doh:
