How to create a slipstream package for .Net Framework 1.1 and SP1

  • Article

Please follow the steps indicated below:

<"C:\EXE" dir has dotnetfx.exe and SP1 (NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe) package. "C:\EXE\MSI" dir will have the extracted netfx.msi and "C:\EXE\ADMIN" dir will be the target flat>

          (a) Extract the NDP runtime MSI - {dotnetfx /c /t:<some directory>}

        -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

               C:\EXE>dotnetfx /C /T:"C:\EXE\MSI\"

        -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          (b) Run the admin installation - {msiexec /a netfx.msi TARGETDIR=<path to admin deployment directory>}

        -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

               C:\EXE>cd msi

               C:\EXE\MSI>msiexec /a netfx.msi TARGETDIR="C:\EXE\ADMIN\"

        -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          (c) Download and extract the SP. It's important that this is the same directory as in step (b) - {<SP>.exe /xp: <path to admin deployment directory>)

        -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

               C:\EXE\MSI>cd..

               C:\EXE> NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe /xp

               <This opens a dialogbox for you to save the msp file in the "C:\EXE\ADMIN\" location>

        -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          (d) Apply the SP1 to the admin image from within <path to admin deployment directory> - {msiexec /p <SP>.msp /a netfx.msi)

        -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

               C:\EXE>cd admin

               C:\EXE\ADMIN>msiexec /p S867460.msp /a netfx.msi

        -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          (e) Now we can push this out to client machines.

        -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

               Now if we run netfx.msi from the C:\EXE\ADMIN dir it will install Netfx1.1 along with SP1.
