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

from autorun CD of win xp.

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?

    • AMD 25.6.1 driver out with RX 9060 XT support and a lot more FSR 4 games by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A brand-new hardware launch is happening today for AMD, and to make sure its new GPUs are running properly, a new graphics driver has also landed right alongside it. The AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 25.6.1 driver lands with support for the RX 9060 XT and the AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700, while also finally updating the number of games that support its AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 upscaling technology. The consumer space-targeted RX 9060 XT graphics card comes in 8GB and 16GB flavors starting at $300 and $350 price points, respectively. Check out our launch coverage for this RDNA 4 GPU for more details here. At the same time, the AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700 comes in for handling professional workloads with a whopping 32GB of VRAM. While support for this card has already arrived with the latest driver, AMD is expecting to ship the product sometime in July 2025. The driver has also added official support for Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny Remaster as well, the Capcom-developed action game from last month. As for fixes, AMD has said that it has resolved reversed Quality and Performance selections in the Radeon Boost UI, as well as Le Mans Ultimate performance issues on RX 9070 series GPUs. There are quite a few known issues AMD is still working on: Stutter and lower than expected performance may be observed when using alt-tab and streaming to Discord with multiple monitors. Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing Marvel Spiderman 2 with Ray Tracing enabled on Radeon™ RX 9060 XT. Intermittent application crash may be observed when first launching The Last of Us Part 1 on Radeon™ RX 9060 XT graphics products. Stutter may be observed while playing games with some VR headsets at 80Hz or 90Hz refresh rate on some AMD Radeon™ Graphics Products such as the Radeon™ RX 7000 series. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to change the refresh rate as a temporary workaround. Intermittent system or application crash may be observed while playing Cyberpunk 2077 on some AMD Radeon™ Graphics Products such as the Radeon™ RX 7000 series. Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing Monster Hunter Wilds with Radeon™ Anti-Lag and Instant Replay enabled. Artifacts or corruption may appear while playing Battlefield™ V on Radeon™ RX 7000 series graphics products. Stutter may be observed while playing Call of Duty®: Warzone™ Season 03 ‘Verdansk’ map on some AMD Graphics Products. Stutter and lower than expected performance may be observed while playing 4K resolution YouTube videos in Chromium. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to play videos in full screen as a temporary workaround. Texture flickering or corruption may appear while playing The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered with AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution enabled on Radeon™ RX 9070 XT. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to disable AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution as a temporary workaround. As for FSR 4, these games are now supported by the popular upscaling tech for gaining more frames: Deadzone: Rogue Rem Survival F1 25 Runescape: Dragonwilds Frostpunk 2 Star Wars Outlaws Legacy: Steel & Sorcery Steel Seed Lords of the Fallen Stellar Blade Planetaries Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O QANGA Wild Assault The complete list of games with FSR 4 support, as well as upcoming implementations, can be found on AMD's support page here. The WHQL-certified AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 25.6.1 driver can now be downloaded from the AMD Software app as well as the changelog page on its official website here.

    • AMD RX 9060 XT launches above MSRP and is available to buy now by Sayan Sen At Computex 2025 this year, AMD announced its RX 9060 XT mid-range desktop GPUs. The new graphics card landed in both 8GB and 16GB flavors and targets 1080p as well as light 1440p gaming. The community and some of the media criticized the 8GB VRAM model, but AMD defended the move explaining how the smaller memory buffer is not a cause of worry for the majority. Both the 8 GB and the 16 GB RX 9060 XT are now available for purchase. A new driver is out too with Adrenalin version 25.6.1. However, as always, day one stocks would likely be highly limited, similar to other GPUs or any other product, like the Nintendo Switch 2, that also landed today. Third-party AIB (add in board) vendors like Gigabyte, for example, are selling the 8GB at $329 (SEP is $299) currently on Amazon US, so expect some markup. The technical specifications of the Radeon RX 9060 XT are given below: Specification Value GPU Architecture AMD RDNA™ 4 Core Compute Units 32 Video Memory 16 GB / 8GB GDDR6 Infinity Cache 32 MB Core Boost Clock Up to 3.13 GHz Memory speed/bandwidth 20 Gbps / 320 GB/s AI Performance 821 TOPS (INT4 with sparsity) Raytracing & AI Accelerators 32 3rd Generation Raytracing Accelerators; 64 2nd Generation AI Accelerators PCIe Interface PCIe® 5.0 x16 Display Outputs DisplayPort™ 2.1a, HDMI® 2.1b Total Board Power (TBP) 160W* If you notice, we have an asterisk for the TBP value in the table above. That is because AMD says that it can vary between 150 and 182 watts. Performance-wise, we know the $349 16 GB variant is close to the Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti in rasterization but falls behind in ray tracing. Meanwhile, the 8GB model, priced the same as the GeForce RTX 5060 at $299, should be better, as both 8 Gig and 16 Gig SKUs are identical spec-wise outside of memory capacity.

    • It actually looks decent, although trailers could make the worst nonsense look watchable sometimes. I'm not a fan of the "extended" Aliens universe (Prometheus, Covenant), but I liked Romulus so will definitely give this a shot.
