You have to have a copy of the Sp1 Cd sold by microsoft

it includes a folder on that CD that has the dotnet framework install files in it

you simply copy this flder to the root of the slipstreamed XP SP1 CD/ISO and it will function as intended

however it is a odd setup file unlike the downlaodable redist version

and it only includes dotnet framework 1.0 and dotnet framework 1.0 SP2

you can currently download dotnet framework 1.1 iwch is a newer version than .net framework 1.0sp2

i have tried to use the 1.1 install file to to replace the older one without any luck

i dont know where in the slipstreamed files on the cd to change anything to accept it or if its even something you can easily edit

the reason that is there is because the XP SP file modifies it that way because including the dotnet framework is an official MS slipstream protocal

OEM venders such as dell also include this on the cd's they send out with new computers that come preinstalled with SP's

i have both the origianal Service pack CD and an OEM XP install cd, however im on dial up and cannot send you the file, sorry

Thank you very much for your reply, I have first Edition CD of Windows XP pro which it come with my PC and it has not .Net Framwork and it is not included enywhere in CD too, and I have made slipstreamying SP1a also and as well sp2 2180 but still this .Net Framwork does not function it shows that it is clickable but can not find any .exe file to install it.

I have downloaded .Net Framwork 1.1 from microsoft site but I wish to make mission accomplished by intergrating to the CD itself and installable by clicking that Install .Net Framwork button.

thans again

the service pack file itself (the FULL NETWORK) that is the one you can slipstream from DOES NOT INCLUDE THIS FOLDER!!!

it is only available on the SERVICE PACK CD (sometimes called Windows UPdate CD) and that CD includes MORE than jsut the Servicepack File

the DOTNETFX folder being one of them

MS never intended for home users of the service packs to create bootable cd's based off of the slipstreaming feature built into the Service packs.

it is mainly intended to creat a HDD based NETWORK share wich is where ALL computers on a single network install windows from.

the fact that alot of people have figured out how to achieve putting it onto a bootable CD does not mean that those same people didnt understand the function of it completely and neglected to include how to make it 100% complete the way MS would have done it if they officially supported home users creating these Slipstreamed CD's.

but dont be discouraged

im sure someone has figured out how to add the latest DotnetFX to a slipstreamed CD however it isnt usually thought of because it also takes 40 or so more MB to add to the CD wich could with SP2 go over the limits of regulat 700mb cd-r's or CD-rw's wich you shouldnt really go over 600 or so mb on especially with a bootable cd let alone a WINDOWS instalation CD because the closer you get to filling the CD to its limit the harder some files are to read for your CD drive.

So no your XP PRO GOLD CD will not include this neither will jsut the servicepack network isntall file.

OH man i am such an idiot

i just tried something that i never thought to try before because of the default structure of the DOTNETFX folder

anyway im a stupid fool

so lets get this overwith

before you burn your slipstreamed CD

add a folder named DOTNETFX make sure you keep it all capital

place the dotnetFX 1.1 redist install package in that folder and rename it to SETUP.EXE

then burn your cd

now it works LMFAOOO such a fool i am anyway there is your fix

I'll tell you how to do it:

  • Download the .NET Framework Redist (here)
  • Save it somewhere easily accessible via a command prompt, such as C:\.
  • Have a folder available where you will slipstream SP2 into a Windows CD, this folder should include folders such as docs, i386, support, valueadd, etc. I'll refer to this folder as C:\XP_Install.
  • Open a command prompt and navigate to where you saved dotnetfx.exe.
  • Type dotnetfx /c at the command prompt.
  • You'll be presented with a window asking you where to save the extracted files. Save these files in C:\XP_Install\dotnetfx (Y)
  • Open the C:\XP_Install\dotnetfx folder. You'll see several files. Rename install.exe to setup.exe.

That's it, you can now burn the C:\XP_Install folder with a boot record and get a fully bootable SP2 install cd complete with the .NET Framework :D

thx Gameguy was just looking for this! :)

few questions left:

1) Has the original XP pro Corp a version of .NET onboard?

2) Has SP2 a version of .NET onboard and if yes why not .NET 1.1 ?

3) Should I do your procedure AFTER I slipstreamed SP2 with my original XP PRO Corp CD or should I do your procedure BEFORE that?

4) When its all over and done and I burned everything to a bootable CD, then is dotNET 1.1 automatically installed?

I am not a native speaker so to me this was not entirely clear from your post

I do not know really but I guess not because I did not see any .NET 1.1 file folder after slipstreaming.

3) Should I do your procedure AFTER I slipstreamed SP2 with my original XP PRO Corp CD or should I do your procedure BEFORE that?

both way will work after / before

I found Phantom Helix? guide much easier even my 8 years kid can undestand and procced the instruction.

4) When its all over and done and I burned everything to a bootable CD, then is dotNET 1.1 automatically installed?

dotNET 1.1 will not automatically installed, it will in your CD and will active by clicking Install .NeFu>ramework

from autorun CD of win xp.

thank again guys

Ok, it begins to install and in the middle of install procedure it asks for inserting NET.Framework 1.1 setup disk. No any alternatives for selecting it.

That's why I've integrate NET.Framework 1.1 into slipstreamed CD in another way and now it's installs just fine. So,

  • 1. Create folder named DOTNETFX in the root of slipstreamed CD
  • 2. Download dotnetfx.exe from Microsoft and place tihs file into just created DOTNETFX directory
  • 3. Rename dotnetfx.exe to setup.exe

That's all

So guys which is the right and better way to make .NET Framework 1.1 work from Windows XP SP2 Slipstreamed CD, the way gameguy posted or the way Phantom Helix? posted?

Both methods are pretty much the same and should work just fine. The idea is to have a folder with name DOTNETFX and put installation files there.

Choose Gameguy's procedure if you are going to download the package from link gameguy provided.

Choose Phantom Helix's procedure, if you already have the files (e.g. from the Windows Update CD that has SP2 and other support files. Update CD is available to MSDN subscribers and should be shipping out soon according to "news" sources)

I have the Update CD, so I didn't have to download & extract the files. I simply copied the DOTNETFX folder to the XP Install folder and burned a CD. It works fine.

BTW, I did this after I slipstreamed, so for those of you wondering whether to do it before or after; it doesn't really matter.

Can you please send me DOTNETFX folder which is in your Update CD by msn messenger or irc or anyother program if possible?

    • OontZ Angle 3 Coca-Cola Edition Bluetooth Speaker: Worth it at 25% off? by Paul Hill If you are looking for a portable Bluetooth speaker for yourself or for Father’s Day, check out this OontZ Coca-Cola branded Angle 3 Bluetooth speaker. Right now, you can pick it up for just $30, thanks to a recent 25% discount from the previous $40 price tag. Aside from the Coca-Cola branding, this speaker has a range of nifty features including a 100-foot range, a 14-hour battery, IPX5 water resistance, it promises no distortion of sound, and its shape ensures it won’t fall over. What it does (and doesn’t) The Oontz Bluetooth Speaker Angle 3 Coca-Cola Edition is super portable, making it an ideal choice for when you’re traveling. The speaker is just 5.3 inches long and weighs just 10 ounces. The width and height of the speaker are both under three inches and its triangular shape ensures it won’t fall over so you can put it down quickly whenever you’re out and about. According to OontZ, the speaker has 10 watts output that is “surprisingly loud” with “zero distortion” even when you turn it up to the max. These OontZ speakers are crafted by Cambridge Soundworks, a firm that has received critical acclaim since its inception in 1988. The firm is praised for delivering solid sound quality and construction - it makes some of the industry’s best speakers and offers excellent value for the price. As a travel speaker, it’ll probably end up on the beach or next to swimming pools where it can get wet. You don’t need to worry about splashing it though because it comes with IPX5 water resistance meaning it’s splash-proof, suitable for the shower, beaches, or the pool. While it will offer protection against splashes, it shouldn’t be submerged under water. On a single charge, the speaker will last for 14 hours on a single charge and connects to your device using Bluetooth 5.0. It has a good range of 100 feet so it shouldn’t become choppy just because you went into the next room with your phone. Should you buy? This OontZ Coca-Cola Bluetooth speaker is ideal for anyone who wants a great listening experience at home or on the go. It’s also a good choice for anyone looking for good sound on a budget as it’s now $30, which won’t break the bank. The main strengths of the speaker are its excellent value at the discounted price, reliable connectivity, and the good battery life considering its size. The fact that it’s from a reputable brand, Cambridge Soundworks, is also key. The iconic Coca-Cola branding may not be for everybody but it will definitely stand out with that vibrant red color. The IPX5 is also good to protect against splashes but it’s not fully waterproof, so if you need that, this speaker might not be for you. Oontz Bluetooth Speaker Angle 3 Coca-Cola Edition: $29.99 (Amazon US) - MSRP $39.99 / 25% off This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • GPUs selling higher than their MSRP is the new norm it seems. This shouldn't surprise anyone. Dumb duopoly, if Intel could just stop shooting itself in the foot and release some more cards and undercut the other two that'd be great.
    • I saw that recently, and the thing that would be useful also would be to have the PC model in that spec card as well. I know that it's on the main portal page of System, but repeating it in this "Device specs" module, especially if it's meant for the main specs of the computer, would certainly be useful.

    • Bethesda readying two updates for Oblivion Remastered targeting bugs and performance by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The surprise release of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered was a massive success for Bethesda and Microsoft, with the title going on to gain over four million players in just three days at launch while also breaking franchise records for concurrent players. While reactions to the game have been positive from both critics and players, plenty of complaints have since been pouring in about the state of the remaster. Now, Bethesda is aiming to push out updates to resolve these concerns. Today, the company revealed that two updates are currently planned for the RPG, both with different scopes. The first of these is already available in beta form to Steam players. It seems Bethesda is using the same beta update format it uses for Starfield for this Elder Scrolls entry as well. "Thanks for all your excitement and feedback since the launch of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered," said the development team today. "We are actively working on two separate updates to be launched in the coming weeks, both of which will come to our Steam Beta first, before being released to all other platforms." According to the studio, the first update is focused on "quests, major bugs and blockers, and quality of life fixes. " Following the June 5 launch on the Steam beta platform, all other PC players, as well as those on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Game Pass subscribers, will receive the update on June 11. The beta changelog for Update 1.1 can be seen here, with bug fixes coming for the UI, gameplay, quests, and more. Multiple crashes have been resolved here, with many being related to loading saves and exploring specific locations. Instances of infinite loading, alt-tab freezing, resetting settings, and more are being targeted with fixes, too. To opt into the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered beta update, Steam players can head into the game's properties, select Betas, and choose the [beta] branch to receive the new build. While Bethesda hasn't revealed any release dates for the second update, it did say that improving performance will be its main focus. This is a major point of criticism for the title at the moment, so the update can't come soon enough.
