.Net 3.0 Administrative Setup..Net 3.0 deployment via Active Directory and Group Policy seems pretty broken
to me. The most up to date info I can find is in the RTM SDK under 'Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Administrator Deployment Guide'. The script at the bottom of that article ignores the WIC and XPS components of dotnetfx3.exe and the command to extract wcf.exe does not work. WCF.exe /? indicates there is no /c switch for wcf.exe. Could someone from MS have a look at this and provide a working script or other instructions on how to deploy with Group Policy? Thanks Michael Hi Michael,

WCF.exe /? indicates there is no /c switch for wcf.exe. Windows Systems Components, the general convention to install the component is via the Windows Update(Optional). So the NET Framework 3.0 doesn't contain this component. If you want to install it as command line, you can download that component package from the following link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=8e011506-6307-445b- b950-215def45ddd8&DisplayLang=en Then you need to extract its exe file and run the update.exe (in ite update subfolder) as the following, this Windows update may need a reboot to take effective: update /q /norestart Please refer to the following MSDN article links for the details about how to run the update.exe from the command line: The Package Installer (Formerly Called Update.exe) for Microsoft Windows Operating Systems and Windows Components http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/deployment/wi nupdte.mspx The XPS should be already been integrated in the core components of the .NET Framework 3.0, it is not provided as a separated component in .NET Framework 3.0's redist package. For the issue about the command to extract wcf.exe, I am afraid that .NET Framework 3.0 Administrator Deployment Guide makes a mistake here. The corresponding component installation package for the WCF is indigo.exe (Indigo is the codename of the WCF), there is no wcf.exe is the .NET FX 3.0's package, you just need to replace the wcf.exe with the indigo.exe in the corresponding line of the script. We are sorry for the inconvenience which that mistake brought to you. By the way, the sample script in that Deployment Guide article would install all the NET Framework 3.0 components administratively, except for the bug of that non-existed wcf.exe. :( Thanks!

Hi Gary,
Sorry for not picking up on this. I got rather distracted by Vista RTM and repaving my development machine. :) Firstly, you say WIC is not part of the .NET 3.0 redistributable but it looks to me as if it is. Following the script from the SDK 'Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Administrator Deployment Guide' I start by extracting the files from dotnetfx3.exe using:- set WORKFOLDER=c:\deploy call dotnetfx3.exe /q /x:C:%WORKFOLDER%\ext This produces subdirectories for all the .Net 3.0 components which include WIC and XPS. The WIC directory contains WIC_X86_ENU.exe and the XPS directory contains XPSEPSC-x86-en-US.exe. Neither of these are installed by the script in the deployment guide. Also, the WCF subdirectory contains wcf.exe - not indigo.exe. The deployment script suggests that the following will produce an .msi that I can use for an administrative install:- call %WORKFOLDER%\ext\wcu\WCF\wcf.exe /q /c:"msiexec /qb /a wcf.msi REBOOT=ReallySuppress /l* %WORKFOLDER%\logs\WCF_x86.log TARGETDIR=%WORKFOLDER%\AIP\WCF_x86" - but it doesn't! It fails silently. Same for the WIC and XPS executables. At the moment I don't see how to create an administrative install for use with Active Directory. Even if it can be done this way, I presume the client machine will have individual entries in the Control Panel / Add or Remove Programs list and I wonder whether other programs trying to detect if .Net 3.0 is installed will be able to do so. There really needs to be a proper Administrative install that can do the whole lot in one go. Hope you can help.
