Deploying .NET

The following sections discuss how to deploy .NET. Each section focuses on a specific version of .NET.

Deploying .NET 4.0

1. Package your dotnetversion.exe as a custom software deployment (for example: dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe)
   

2. In the Install command field, enter the following command:

   start /wait ??SOURCE?? /q /norestart
   

   Note

   Do not enclose SOURCE in quotes. If you do not remove the " " quotes, the installation will fail, as the quotes impact the /q that follows.

Deploying .NET 3.5 SP1 (Windows 2008 R2)

.Net is already packaged with Windows 2008 R2. Therefore, it has to be installed as a Role instead of as an executable, similar to IIS.

start /w dism /online /enable-feature /FeatureName:NetFx3

Deploying .NET 3.5

The following sample script can be used to perform a full installation of .NET Framework 3.5. For more information about this sample script, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc160717.aspx. This script assumes that you are packaging dotnetfx35.exe and deploying it to c:\tmp\stage.
