What files have been modified in order to achieve this? Thanks.

The trick is the reg.reg, it stops Windows installer from rolling back changes if error occurs

Yea, but only to enable direct install

BTW you may want to look at downloading the latest .net 4.5 installer

 

The .NET Framework 4.5 redistributable was updated on October 9, 2012 to correct an issue related to an improper timestamp on a digital certificate, which caused the digital signature on files produced and signed by Microsoft to expire prematurely. If you previously installed the .NET Framework 4.5 redistributable package dated August 16, 2012, we recommend that you update your copy with the latest redistributable from the Microsoft Download Center. For more information about this issue, see Microsoft Security Advisory 2749655 and Knowledge Base article 2770445.

Link to redist package http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee942965.aspx#redist

 

I think onepiece has a "true" addon for this

 

BTW I notice one thing about your admin istall package, you need to edit with orca, go to sumary info and set it to admin install because right now its copying the files in the MZZ

I dont know why the author removed the files but if you apply this regtweak (this is the trick he used) you could install my slim .net 4.5

Edit: better yet, try this command-line with my slim installer DISABLEROLLBACK=1

An app coded with VS 2012 and .Net 4.5 is obviously not designed (and not tested) for XP, so I don't see the point.

If the dev want XP compatibility, he will not target .Net 4.5 but .Net 4.0 or less.

This uses a reg file to disable rollback of microsoft installer, this means .net 4.5 will install but its useless, it will not funcion

Its Pleasure to understand www.wincert.net. The above articles is pretty extraordinary, and I really enjoyed reading your phorum and points that you expressed. I really like to appear back over a typical basis,post a lot more within the topic. Thanks for sharing…keep writing!!!

has anyone tried installing .NET Framework 4.5.1 under Windows XP or Server 2003 yet?

just asking.

[ricktendo]

Yes, there is a trick way of installing on XP but a program that uses .net 4+ does not work when its installed

[bphlpt]

So bottom line, even though 4.5 or 4.51 can be "installed" on XP or 2003, it does no good, so don't bother.  AFAIK, 4.0 is the last .NET that can be installed on XP and function correctly.

 

Cheers and Regards
