Creating .NET Framework 3.0 SP1 redist

The following blog describes how to create a .NET Framework 3.0 SP1 redist. There is an official MSDN deployment and administrator guide coming, but it in the publishing phase.  This is a temporary and not all inclusive help to answer current questions while the guide is in process. This solution is only valid for customers wanting .NET Framework 3.0 SP1 on XP & windows 2003.  On Vista, the .NET FRamework 3.0 SP1 is included with Vista SP1, or you can get it by installing .NET Framework 3.5 on Vista Gold (currently released).

 

You will need to create a package that contains at bare minimum the dotNetFX30SP1setup.exe.  This file could simply be redistributed to customers.  We make the assumption that when a customer runs this file that they either have all the files they need locally or that they have internet access to download the files from Microsoft.

 

To create a stand alone Redistributable package:

First you need to determine what you want to support as far as Architecture support, which OS you want to support.

 

To start put this file at the root of a directory. Then look up in the table below what files you need create directories in the appropriate manner as described in the table below.

 

They can get the individual packages by downloading them from the following fwlinks (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=#####):

The short answer is... it doesn't exist yet. Thankfully things are not quite as bad as that. There are

A couple of weeks ago, I posted some notes about creating an installable layout for the .NET Framework

Did anyone happen to notice the NEW item listed in the Control panel after the installation of .NET 3.0 or .NET 3.5

This new item is called Windows Card Space.  This item does not show up under Add or Remove Programs but does get removed when you uninstall .NET 3.0

I do not see anywhere in the release notes for .NET 3.0 or .NET 3.5 about this new item.  Working in a Corporate environment and being the Application Specielist, I do not like to see any new applications installed without knowing about it or having the option not to install it.
