Net Framework 4 - Full Install

[bodminman]

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

 

if exist "C:\file.txt" goto :eof ELSE

echo .net 4 installed on %Date% %TIME%>C:\file.txt

Or you could deploy via WSUS.

i use a registry check

 

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
