Rick, could you please check out the new dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64_Slim.7z package SoLoR put up (I think he applied your new MSTs didn't he)? When I use it, I can't succeed at making a silent installer out of it. I use your little silent installer maker package for it, but when I drag and drop the .7z file onto the .bat file, the result is a file of 111kb in size. When I switch to the older dotNETFx4 package it works just fine (same updates, etc.). I double-checked all the internal file names and checked the config.txt files and everything matched. This is for Client-only installer, btw. Thanks EDIT: never mind Rick, it appears I got some files mixed up inadvertently.
@Trinket - I have no problem making silent net installer using Solor's latest slimmer for client & rick's latest net maker.
Never mind pegasus80, I got some files mixed up I think, it's working now That's what I get for doing 7 things at the same time
Since everybody seems to wait for a new update list I published my (unfinished) update-list. To make it quick: no release notes this time. Just a quick-shot. [I hat that.] All new updates needed for Win7 are in my "updates for the W7 only repo" I come back to the help you offered. Maybe somebody can create a list of updates that are at SoLoR and that are superseded now. Something like "added" and "removed" Just feel free to work, should not be so much hard work using my list. Sorry I have no time for that now.
I wait for it for the uninstaller, as its easy base point for the uninstall lists. If I do it separate, people may not have the latest updates I do agree though that to assist SoLoR a complete list of new updates (including a pack with just the new updates for x86 and x64) and a list of superseded updates would be greatly advantageous, then all Solor would have to do is upload the extracted pack and remove the old files... (its the sorting and requesting that takes the most time and effort). These large update releases are now monthly from Microsoft, or at leas thats how it has been the last several months.
Thank you very much komm. Since I'm the one who asked you for this, I'll go through the list and try to figure out how the newest updates affect the repo. Another option- I may just do a fresh install of Win7, add the current repo contents and then use KUC to track what's new/superseded. I did this earlier but didn't track every update that was installed/uninstalled.
Thanks, burfadel. Yes, hence the difficulty because, as you say, such an installer would be hard to find with the vc runtimes; and evidently not always foolproof even when you could find it. It's no problem at all, people who like to tweak and play with computers should be prepared for some problems here and there I'll do a restore and give myself a clean slate. I always usde Active@ Disk Image from within a PE, and since the latest version of it restores and backups are handled rather quickly. Paired with my new sata3 SSD it took 1:40 to restore the complete x64 Win7 OS including applications... Wow. Otherwise, for testing VM's are of course good, but I'd also like it to work on my real install atm. Thanks for the information.
