RogueSpear's Runtime Collection

[roadrunner650]

RogueSpear,Thanks for sharing your personal work with the public. I use much of what you provide.

I use nlite for removals only. I remove very little. I like to remove 'command-line tools'(I keep ping,ipconfig) for security reasons(viruses etc like to use these tools).

However when I remove 'command-line tools' .net 3.5sp1 scriptpack breaks during run once install(I use compat.150 addon). If I don't remove the tools it installs every time. I'm thinking that some particular command-line tool(s) need to be kept from removal...I would still like to be able to remove the group(I can't remember the last time I called a anything from a command line) and just keep what is needed to support .net install.

When time permits, let me know what tools the 3.5sp1 install uses...and thanks very much.

I have no idea what tools it uses and I imagine it would take quite a while to figure out. You may be better off deleting the command line tools you don't want with a script or batch file after .NET 3.5 SP1 is finished installing.

strange problem with latest .NET 2.0 SP2 installer...

Paint.NET (a .NET 2.0 app) doesn't want to install... it displays an error box saying .NET 3.5 SP1 or more is needed...

if I use an old installer (.NET 2.0 SP1 of 2007-11-29), Paint.NET installs and runs ok

[RogueSpear]

The latest version of Paint.NET requires .NET 3.5 (no matter what their web site says).

[cradouille2]

with the old .NET 2.0 installer, Paint.NET installs and runs perfectly; it do is a .NET 2.0 app

edit: I'd like to not install .NET 3.5 as long as possible... it installs A LOT of crap, it even bloat my Firefox

edit 2: maybe is the bug related to Paint.NET itself (they modified their .NET framework detection in v3.36)

[RogueSpear]

I tinkered around some and got it working (Paint.NET that is) with only .NET 2.0. I did a little reading too. First of all it appears that while .NET 2.0 is the bare requirement to run Paint.NET, there are some features which demand .NET 3.5. Also, the latest blog entry will soon make this entire conversation pointless:

[cradouille2]

yeah, I already read these entries, and know I will soon be forced to follow the move and definitively switch to .NET 3.5 (my post-install cleanup scripts are already done lol... remove CardSpace and firefox junk-add)

however, I mainly posted that issue because it may be a bug affecting some other software too

[RogueSpear]

Well the messing around I did was not with .NET 2.0, but with Paint.NET, so I think your theory that there is perhaps a problem with the installer for Paint.NET is correct. Especially since I got it working just by deleting the two LaunchConditions in the .msi file.

any runtimepacks for x64??????????????? out there

[chiners_68]

Hi Rogue,
will your new .NET installers work from a rvm .ZIP addon like you use to create?

Ive knocked one up looking at your older .net ryan addons & it all looks failry straightforward. Wasnt sure if I need to add in the install switch or make them completley switchless before I can add to a zip addon.

your advice is greatly apreciated

I am working on it actually.

get a Network O(zero) error when runing latest Java 6 10 in -ai1. -ai installs without an issue.

I run all of my svcpack installers with -ai1 for the first couple of installs in order to debug and it has always worked fine for me. I just now tried it with -ai1 post install and it worked that way as well.
