.NET Framework 1.1 patch asks to insert disk?


Recommended Posts

First let me say Autopatcher XP is awsome. Thanks very much! I've searched this forum and don't find any reference to this, so I will share my experience. When doing the autopatcher with all the defaults minus only the Instant Messenger stuff (I find it's easier to uninstall manually) and the Sun Java and I have only the TweakUIXP Control Panel checked in the PowerToys selection. 99 patches in total. The only problem I encounter is when it reaches the .NET Framework 1.1 it stops and asks for the .NET Framework 1.1 disk. I have to click "cancel" for the patching to continue. I have no problems when I unselect this at the beginning.

I tried three seperate times on a clean install of XP Sp-1a Pro with Rollup 1 pre-slipstreamed. Would I be better off going back to my SP-1 w/o the Rollup? It is SP-1 not SP-1a which is why I've been using the "newer" version.

Thanks again for AutoPatcher. This has made new "Clean" install maintenance almost enjoyable. I'm really looking forward to the December release.

To be honest, I've not had this issue, but I know plenty of people have. As of this second, I don't know the cause, though there have been many suggestions. I hope to have this gone in the Dec update... I'm still workin' on it. Anyone who has any ideas, please let us know. :)

EDIT - Anyone who's willing to test it for me... try running it like before, but use this new batch file I made instead of the other one (just copy it over the old one), let me know if it works! I think it may... but I'm not sure.

I forgot to mention that I am running autopatcher from CD-ROM. Maybe that's the cause?

Well, I've been looking into probs with the CD, and I think Raptor and I have them all worked out. :D Also, look up above and give that a shot if you can and let me know if it works for you. :)

Yep. I compared the NETFrame11.bat above with the one on my CD and they are identical.

BTW I don't see this file on the CD. It may be there, I just didn't see it.

It's from the MS Corprate update site...

Microsoft .NET Framework version 1.1 - (Posted Date: August 05, 2003)

Download size: 23.1 MB

The .NET Framework is a component of the Windows operating system. For developers, the .NET Framework makes it easy to rapidly create powerful software that maximizes performance, scalability, opportunities for integration, reliability, security, and the end-user experience, while minimizing the costs of deployment and management. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer

Also, You guys are probably already aware of this, but...

MS updated the ie cumulative Security patch of October 2003 to q824145.exe

I hope this helps.

One thing I found out with the Microsoft .NET Framework installer is that if you launch the MSI file directly from a non-rewriteable source like a CD, it gets funky errors. For some weird reason, the installer needs write access to its MSI file :blink:

So, when I burned it to CD, I didn't extract the MSI file out of it. I just kept the entire EXE package.

FYI

Ooops! My bad. Apparently the NETFrame11.bat wasn't identical. I replaced the one on my CD with the attachment above and ran AutoPatcher XP with my usual selections on a clean install. It no longer asks for the .NET Framework 1.1 disk, but it still doesn't work. I still get the error, "NDP1.1-KB824629-X86.exe" that says maybe the program is missing (and a bunch of other stuff).

BTW I use Powerquest's Drive Image Pro 7 to restore my system after testing on a clean install. Unfortunately, the only requirement Drive Image 7 has is the .NET Framework be installed first, so I can't make an Image of a clean install to test. I must needs to install XP from scratch each time I test. I'm not complaining, just wanted to share that bit of info. I think AutoPatcher XP is one of the best projects I've seen lately and I'm more than willing to help you guys in any way I can. Thanks again for your efforts.

Actually I may end up just using the exe in the Dec update... you say it doesn't have any problems? I extracted the MSI and stuff out so I could save space... but if people are gettin' those problems, I'll just use the exe. :)

Well it happens to me in Windows 2000 so that's how I store it now :x

So it works fine as an exe? No issues at all? Cause if so, it's bein' put in that way to avoid this issue (also, what switches you usin'?). :D

  OptiPlex said:
I don't use switches man.

I'm the "let's be unproductive and click n install which takes like 20 minutes longer than automated process! w00t!" kind of guy.

lol Well, I was able to find a switch for it, actually... and I'm going to test it in the Dec Release... if it works, then that should help everyone. :D

Ive only had this happen when i install off the CD and as you know FlishFun, I use this daily, so It has to be in that situation. Running from CD.

Well in that case, I'll make sure you're the person who tests it first. :D

I've also experienced it probably about 5 times now. Autopatcher has become my new favorite CD though. (along with the ultimate boot CD!) I can't wait for the December update!! Also I was wondering if there are plans to release an "all in one" menu when you finish the win2k and win2k3 versions so you could have all on one cd and choose which to launch.

Hmmm.... that is a good idea, I don't see why not... I'd just have to make a few changes to the menu... I'll keep that in mind, it is a good idea. :D

then, we could release a competitor to MS's Security CD :D

/Raptor

Not a competitor... a companion. ;) The Microsoft Security CD will install SP1 (or SP4 or whatever)... and the AutoPatcher will install the rest. :D

    • Sure, one example: Two computers side by side. Your main system is connected to a sound bar or a high end TV with good audio built in. Your secondary machine is the one you play music, movies, YouTube, check email, etc. on another monitor while you work/play games on your main system. In this case, the main computer converts all audio to Dolby Atmos which goes out to the main TV/soundbar (or your bluetooth/headphones), no matter if it comes from the main machine or the secondary...with no latency issues. And whatever you'd be doing on the secondary computer isn't hitting your main computer's CPU or GPU if, say, gaming some serious FPS or at 4k etc. That's just one home use case for a networked audio solution. I'm sure others can think up more of them.
    • Yeah, I've looked at all of these. Dante is a pro and expensive program, of course. I'm just looking for simple audio/music sharing from one PC/device to another. Voicemeeter is a lovely bit of kit, but the interface is NOT user friendly to set up initially, unless you are an audio engineer who thinks the way the program does. It works though. I just didn't feel the juice was worth the squeeze on that one. The other ones you mention have problems, like no longer maintained/updated, etc. Spotify does this, but only for music played by Spotify. Multiplicity does this (but isn't free) for all audio on one PC (like you'd want) but hiccups the audio on the source PC if too much CPU is used (so you really can't use a very old PC as a music/video/youtube player). If the two machines are side by side, you can use analog line out to analog line in, but then you are getting analog noise/problems. It's the simplest and most solution, of course.
    • Well, one right off the top of my head is if you're playing music on one computer but you want it coming through another computer, which is hooked up to speakers, a TV with built-in audio, etc. If the two machines are side-by-side, then you can even just use an old analog line jack out to line jack in but that comes with analog problems, of course. But if the two computers aren't in the same room and you're using something like Multiplicity (not the best example because Multiplicity actually has this audio network feature built in) to control the other, then sending the audio across ethernet would be highest quality. Note that Spotify also already does this. If you have the app installed on multiple devices you can control not only the song playback but also which device the audio is outputting from. Like your phone telling your PC to play the audio on the PC out to speakers. Etc. So, there are solutions. But when I saw it called "Shared Audio" I hoped it was a MS standard built into the OS for just this usage case, and not just a badly named new feature being tested.
    • Apple is giving the upcoming iPad Pro a second front-facing camera by Taras Buria The M4-based iPad Pro brought a few significant changes to Apple's high-end tablet, such as tandem OLED displays, a much-thinner chassis, camera changes, and a much more powerful processor. Its successor, the M5-based iPad Pro, is rumored to retain the current form factor without major changes. However, there is one rather odd hardware update that is coming with the next iPad Pro. A new report says that a successor to the current iPad Pro lineup will offer a more powerful Apple M5 processor and more cameras on the front. While Apple experimented with a dual-camera setup on the back of the recent iPad Pros (this was killed in the M4 generation), the front of every iPad has always had a single camera, minus the original one, of course, which had none. With the M5 iPad Pro, Apple is rumored to double the number of front-facing cameras for a rather odd reason. No, Apple is not using a dual-camera setup for depth of field effects or a wider angle. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the logic is much simpler: satisfy fans of the portrait orientation. The problem is that in the 2024 iPad Pro, Apple moved the front-facing camera to the longer side of the tablet, where it makes much more sense for FaceTime calls, selfies, and everything else. However, that makes the iPad a bit awkward to use when in portrait mode, especially when it comes to FaceID. Now, it appears that Apple wants to make both camps happy by adding another front-facing camera to the shorter side of the screen. There is no information on whether we will see just one more front-facing camera or the entire FaceID module. Given Apple's nature of blaming users for some of its device shortcomings (the infamous "you are holding it wrong" line), it is quite interesting to see Apple addressing a seemingly minor concern with such an overkill solution.
    • Hello! It's default behavior. I assume that F:\ and E:\ are external drives? My local drives are under This PC. So File Explorer is showing storage from different locations: This PC (under which are local drives) Mapped Network drives External USB drives The Network (under which, my NAS) You could drag the drive to Quick access to see it all the time, but in my case when I expand This PC, the local drives remain in view even when I close and reopen the window.
