[sccm 2012] .NET Framework 4.6.2 deploy during image of PC

[googlemad]

Does anyone know the best way to deploy the .NET Framework 4.6.2 through an SCCM Windows 7 image task? (Don't need to do anything fancy like deploy it to existing machines in SCCM!)

 

Can it be added as an Application in Software Library so I can just add the install during the task sequence?

I have it installing as a package, but it'll work as an application just fine. Just use the following switches

 

/q /norestart /ChainingPackage ADMINDEPLOYMENT

Off the top of my head: Get the offline installer, extract the MSI's from the exe, add the correct architecture MSI in the software library, then you can add that into the task sequence.

In the end I downloaded the offline installer, extracted the lot, whacked it in a folder on the SCCM applications share then just created a new application and pointed SCCM to the 'netfullx64.msi' file or whatever it was called and it did all the switch stuff automatically and worked during a test image

 

Then I found out part of the SCCM server must have been infected with one of those encryption malwares as most of the other application folders just contained loads of files with the 'india' file extension! So not actually sure how it is working at all there, does it copy the applications somewhere else on the server when I 'distribute content'?
