Updated main installer and all lang packs (thanks to leopold_bloom)

Rick and do not plan to release a version of Slim. NET Framework 4.5 Full x86/64 with Language Pack in the nearest future? :type:

sorry for my bad English.

Edited September 19, 201212 yr by tr011_tmn

Rick has said he will release a pack for 4.5 after there has been an update released for 4.5.

Cheers and Regards

I have a slim .net4.5 but I dont want to release it, needs to be patched to accept LDR hotfixes

@Rick - Can you provide a link where I can get hold of hotfix NDP40-KB2545756.msp? Thanks

You can get any hotfix from this link, just add the kb number on the end

http://support.microsoft.com/hotfix/KBHotfix.aspx?kbnum=

Like so

Thanks Rick

So the 4.5 installer when released will cover 40 and 4.5? Or will there still be one installer for each?

From what I understand, unlike in the past, 4.5 is supposed to totally replace 4.0. If you install 4.5 you won't need 4.0 at all.

Cheers and Regards

Just found out net 2.0 and 3.5 are not enabled by default in Windows 8 but I added this line to my first log on command from a fresh load and it was enabled

DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /LimitAccess /Source:%systemdrive%\NT6x\sxs

I copied the sxs folder from Windows 8 source folder and placed in my OEM\$1 folder on root of my USB Drive so on install, the NT6x folder gets copied to systemdrive and I have a cmd in that folder that sets up everything like I like it. Works like a charm but anyway, to my point. I tried to use ricks installer in a Windows 8 install and it said that 4.0 was already installed and needs to be enable but can't figure out how to do so?

Its enabled by default, no need to do nothing

Its enabled by default, no need to do nothing

I was thinking that also but when I got that message, it threw me off. I am not liking that Windows 8 so far. Took me more than 5 mins to figure out where the shutdown button was! But that's off topic, just had to throw it in.

Thanks Rick for this awesome repack. Just one question. Will your installer work as is if I create SVCPACK AddOn and integrate via NT6.x Integrator / Win Toolkit 4.x?

The reason I ask is because OnePiece is suggesting that I split / unpack your installer and recompile using the methods described in your Silent "No GUI" SFX alternative v1.4.

I was hoping to just put your installer as is in SVCPACK folder create an entries.ini and call the installer

;entries_dotNet4fx.ini
[AddProgram]
dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64_SlimSetup.exe /ai

Any insight would be much appreciated.

Depends when its executed, if you use OnePiece tool (I think it executes during setup) you have to repack it like he describes. If you install it during RunOnce or after the desktop launches you can use the default package

Thanks rick, looks like i'll be repacking in favor of having it execute during setup. I'll share my results in the next few days. Looking forward to your next release.

Ok, let me put it another way: when 4.5 addon will be out, only xp users will be interested in downloading this addon. And more than 90% of them will only need Client version. So you'll force 90% of them either to repack this addon, either to use the Extended version, that has the ngen optimization routine implemented via the /ain switch. So I was thinking only of adding another switch, that combines client with ngen optimization - if you don't want to remove other switches it's not so important.

I was just hoping you'll have the time to make it easier to use for XP users, since those are the only ones that are going to download it in the near future. Once again, not a request, it just made more logic to me, you're already spending alot of time here making many useful packs.

That time is now and this addon has just become xp exclusive (Vista and 7 users will use 4.5). So please Rick, with your next update, reconsider my request. Thanks.

hi @rick,

sorry if it's a silly question but..I repack it with "dotNET4sfxNoGUI".. in README.txt you says

If you are going to repack this installer for SVCPACK install enable ALL the following lines by removing semicolon in config.txt

so if I want to use it with SVCPACK, I have to remove that semicolon.. but if remove semicolon then could I use the same installer also for my WPI(switchless) or should I make another repack for WPI with semicolon?

thanks.

I would remove the (reg copy/add/delete) semicolon from ONLY the default RunProgram or (one of) the AutoInstall sections...use one for SVCPACK and then add or take away -ai(?) when installing WPI

ohh. I realized after you told about /aif switch. it's enough for me both SVCPACK and WPI. thanks again

Many thanks for this ricks !
