The Complete .NET Framework Package Plugin for WIN8.1SE 64BIT

After days of hard work and few tedious roundups of registry hiccups here is the Complete Package of Microsoft.NET Framework 2.0 SP2, Framework 3.0 SP2, Framework 3.5 SP1, Framework 4 Full, Framework 4.5 and Framework 4.5.1 for WIN8.1SE x 64. 

This plugin is for 64 Bit only. The plugin injects Microsoft.NET Framework 2.0 SP2, Framework 3.0 SP2, Framework 3.5 SP1, Framework 4 Full, Framework 4.5 and Framework 4.5.1 in the Build.

It takes a bit space on the RAM Drive but its worth for those geeks out there who needs and thrives on .NET.

At present working out the build from outside RAM is not possible because of many reasons. The .NET 4.0, 4.5, ans 4.5.1 are so emebeded in the core of WIN 8.1 OS so that to run these frameworks from outside the RAM is virtually not possible. 

Relocation of GAC, so that running Assemblies can be done using registry key CacheLocation (REG_SZ) under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion to the pathname of the folder where the GAC needs to be located can be done. 

But starting with the .NET Framework 4, the default location for the global assembly cache is %windir%\Microsoft.NET\assembly. In earlier versions of the .NET Framework, the default location is %windir%\assembly. So both these GAC locations cant be relocated at the same time. Relocating the GAC can be done. But some core .NET files cant be relocated whatsoever the method you use. So some programs just crash out.

This build has been thoroughly tested to the core. All programs seem to work. Tested all Registry and Framework files even with Microsft .NET Verification Tool.

Greetings fly out to Chris, Lancelot and all others out there. And for all those who have taught me something in life.

Enjoy the plugin. Get to me here in case of bugs.

Extract both the working script and the package script in the same directory....

I'll be honest, for my build I just grabbed the plugin script from the win8se collection, ran the "Enable Feature NetFX3" over the 8.1 source (to activate the .net 3.5.1 and below), and integrated all the .nets (including 4.5) without any hiccups (this was for win 8.1 64 bit). According to the .net version checker, every version is activated in my copy of win8.1se. Was there a specific reason the .net script from win8se was not included in the 8.1se winbuilder?

Hai Venerence,

I think you are talking about the .Net script in Win8se. Ya as u said it seems to work, but partially. As I said above the script uses the reallocation of Gac for running from cd. It integrates all scripts well.

Prob 1: The assembly files are not properly copied to their respective folders. But all to a same folder assembly under windows. This is not the structure for .net 4. But only for .net 2 and 3 as I mentioned above. The version checker doesn't check this. But the registry entries only and the core files. This has no prob. But some .net 4. Files seem to crash.

Prob 2: The copy to cd option works for only .net 2 and 3. Not for .net 4. The .net verification tool detects version 4 error. And Some progs like DISM GUI which uses .net 2 doesn't work.

Prob 3: .Net version checker is a bad tool to check proper installation of .net framework. It just checks the registry to see which version is installed. Only a single key under hlkm /software/ .netframework and no other keys. It then checks for windows/microsoft.net folder to check for folders. Check using Microsoft .Net Verification tool to see the difference. Where it checks all the relevant keys, the Gac reallocated folder and the core files.

Prob 4: Like you I too used the script on my win81se build. Everything builds. But verification tools gives some error and as I said above some apps just kept crashing....I wouldn't have worked so hard to build this one if that had worked for me.

I just don't know why it was not included in this build. May be because it has some glitches.

If it works for you it is well and good. But it didn't work for me. So for those like me can use the script provided.

Hey xennet:

Sounds like a reasonable response, I haven't tried any .net 4 programs as of yet, so it very well may be broken. I've always used the ram option, so that could be why I didn't have as many troubles with the original script. I'll give your script a go instead and try it out with some net 2/3/4 programs.

Ok Venerece. Have a go and give a feedback....

Hey xennet:
I used the windows 8 script for Netframe work Dot2.0 Core in Win8.1SE_x86 and it crashed the program.  I didn't try doing all the framework but it crashed because it could find the files needed on the Windows8.1_x86 Developers copy.  It did work on the Windows8.0_x86 Developers copy.  Hopefully you can come up with a script.

Hey Mark,

Test the script and get to me....

 
Hey xennet:
I tried your script on Win8.1SE _x86 and it didn't work.  It came up with a lot of errors and would boot.
Thanks for the try.  I am going to put the drivers in the install.wim so I can use the Win8.0 script.
Good luck for now.

Mark

Hey mark,
The plugin is for x64 bit won't boot up in x86 mode. The plugin is tested thoroughly. It works to the core. Try in a 64 build. Better use a 64 build so that u can use the max power of the ram rather than the crumbled x86 build.
