Net Framework 4 - Full Install

Hi there,

I need to install this using a startup script/batch file but don't want it to install every time the machine is rebooted.

Is there I way I can make this happen?

I thought about getting the script/batch file to create a file at the root of C: and then when the machine restarts it can see that this file exists so will not attempt the install again! Does this make sense? If it does could someone please let me know how this could be done.

It's server 2008 with XP clients.

Thanks again!

I do this all the time :)

Code:

---

if exist "C:\file.txt" goto :eof ELSE
<installer comamnd>
echo .net 4 installed on %Date% %TIME%>C:\file.txt

---

Or you could deploy via WSUS.

i use a registry check

Code:

---


setlocal


reg query "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full"

if NOT %errorlevel%==1 (goto end)
"\\server\packages$\ms msi\dotnet4full\dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe" /passive /norestart /showfinalerror

:End
