how to silently install app & Frameworks 2.0

[Guest]

I have created an application install project that conditionally installs
..NET Frameworks 2.0 if it doesn't already exist on the target system before
the app is installed.

What I want to do is silently install both my application and Frameworks
2.0. Does someone know the command line parameters to do this?

My installation class creates SETUP.EXE, MyApp.MSI, and a folder DOTNETFX
with the three files needed to install Frameworks 2.0.

What I was hoping to find was a command line that I can pass to SETUP that
will launch a silent install for it and the FRAMEWORKS install.

I can manually kick off the silent install of Frameworks by this command:
"dotnetfx.exe /q:a /c:"install /q" but this isn't what I need.

Hi Steve!

There is a custom made installer for .NET 2.0 which installs the
framework silently, you can check it out -

Are you trying to install the software without the user knowing it is being
installed?

I'm running in an automated environment and I want to install my tool (a test
tool) which requires .NET Framework 2.0. Currently, the framework prompts me
with the ULA.

Hi Steve,

Based on my experience, the bootstrapper setup.exe could check and silently
install the .NET Framework, but it will not install your application
silently. Unfortunately, there is no command option for setup.exe to
install your application silently.

However, I think you may use a VB Script to do the works which the
bootstrapper does.But with your script, you can install your application
silently. Please refer to the following MSDN documentation in the details
for the operations of bootstrapper:

Setup.exe Bootstrapper Sample Operations
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/htm
l/cpconsetupexebootstrappersampleoperations.asp


In your vbscript, the last operation to invoke your application's
installation silently would be as the following

msiexec /i myapp.msi ALLUSERS = 1REBOOT=ReallySuppress


Thanks!

Best regards,
