I have finished my .NET v2.0b plug-in. You can find it here:
http://download.stutterdot.org/dotnetfx2.zip

I welcome any feedback that you could give me. I have only built and tested it in a Windows 2003 environment, but I assume it will work for XP (let me know, eh?). If you run into any problems or think there should be any additions, please feel free to mention it here as well.

Thanks.

While I and other will appreciate the work you did for this, wouldn't it have been better to do 1.1 as 2.0 is still beta? Just a thought.

Thanks for this. I will post back.

A 1.1 version is already done

You can get it here: http://www.911cd.net/forums/index.php?show...opic=8149&st=0&

2.0b is a very stable beta (virtually no problems whatsoever), and it provides a huge speed increase over 1.1. I already did a similar plug to 1.1 (That was a little smaller), but I didn't bother posting it since the one I linked to above was already done.

Then again, 2.0 takes up heaps of space... I'd only use it if you're planning on burning a PE DVD, not a CD

does anyone have a copy of this plugin?, i need .net 2.0b for bikisoft, control software for my ECU's daughterboard in my car (www.bikirom.com) anywho, my HD in my lappy took a crap, and ive used bartPE before, so ive begun getting a PE that has firefox, XPE, .net 2.0, and wireless for my lappy... this link is effectively dead... if anyone has it, email it to me at joes240nismo@yahoo.com

Please, could you re-upload your file? I'm searching for a .net framework 2 (!) plugin, and yours is the only one I've found, but your link is dead...

Thanks

jmhalder

Dec 27 2005, 04:40 AM

yeah, this is the ONLY 2.0 version that exists, but i guess the author deleted it, so if anyone is still hanging on to this, it would be much appreciated, especially since 2.0 is no longer in beta anymore.

jmhalder

bump, is anyone planning on making a .net 2.0 plugin? or does ANYONE have a copy of balthasar's?

I can't host this file forever, but I'll leave it up for a few days so someone else can get it. I believe it is the plugin you're looking for, but it was in with a bunch of old downloads I had. Hope it's what you needed!

from the info i found on colin finck's website, he's finalizes his .NET plugin 1.1 in the near future and then he's going to work on v2

jmhalder

Jan 3 2006, 12:26 PM

well, his 1.1 plugin is done now, and i hope this means we can get a 2.0 plugin soon

Currently I am working on a .NET 2.0 plugin, but I have massive problems with it. No .NET program starts (a message box appears saying "mscorwks.dll could not be loaded")

If someone of you has got an idea, please post it here. At the moment I have no ideas, how to fix this problem.

Best regards,

Have you installed & registred that dll?

[Software.AddReg]
0x1,"Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\104","{NR}","{PATH}\mscorwks.dll|DllRegisterServer"

NR & Path must be adjusted

Edited at 20th February 2006: Now the .NET Framework 2.0 works. See the new thread here.

Thanks for your tip. Unfortunately it did not help.
If I add your line, a message box appears at the XPE start, saying: "Error while executing: X:\i386\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\mscorwks.dll".
If I try to register the DLL file with regsvr32, a different message box appears. It says: "LoadLibrary failed. The application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect".

I have uploaded my current version of the .NET Framework 2.0 plugin for someone, who wants to take a look on it. Maybe it helps solving the problem.
Here is the link: LINK REMOVED: see above

Has anyone ever found a resolution to this problem? I have a .Net 2 app that I need to run under PE and I've I'm stuck at the same location... My source is 2003SP1.

I use dotnet2 apps on my builts for 2k3 -sp2.
You will have to make sure vcredist2005 is available first.

You also need to set systemsetupinprogress to 0.

I don't use a plugin for dotnet - I just make junctions to assembly and microsoft.net dirs and then apply a patch - this way I only have to load it when I really need it.

dcolpitts

Jan 13 2008, 08:49 PM

Thanks guys - I finally got it working... I ended up having to create a scrip that does the following to run my .Net 2 app:

CODE

reg delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\PCHealth\ErrorReporting\DW /f
reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup" /v "SystemSetupInProgress" /t REG_DWORD /f /d 0
start /wait x:\minint\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver
start /wait x:\vcredist_x86.exe /q
start /wait x:\dotnetfx\install.exe /q
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework" /v "InstallRoot" /t REG_SZ /f /d X:\minint\Microsoft.NET\Framework
reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup" /v "SystemSetupInProgress" /t REG_DWORD /f /d 0

As long as HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup\SystemSetupInProgress is set to 1, the .NETFramework 2 will not run, even after installation. I had already extracted dotnetfx.exe to the root of the drive (note that PE is installed to a hard drive here - I haven't tried it with a CD yet).

In case you are interested ...
Found a way to load dotnet2 on demand - without adding any plugins at built-time.

Only works with NTFS-formatted RAM-loading images - but then it only adds a 72 Mb wim-image to your built.

Don't know if dotnet2 is really fully functional - only tested with two apps: VMware VIclient 2.5 and VEEAM FastSCP.

Needs files from WAIK

bilou_gateux

Jan 26 2008, 02:15 PM

Can you post a link with your full scripts. I don't need a BartPE plugin but rather a working script to check on a real Windows XP (protected with EWF). WAIK files already available.

Maybe have you added dotnet2 scripts into the latest MOA?

sanbarrow

Jan 27 2008, 08:16 AM

Hi Bilou

there is not much scripting required - here is a summary of what I did:

1. install dotnet2 and capture the changes with regshot or installrite. (its easiest to do this on the same system so that no translation of reg-entries is necessary)

This will result in a maybe 1.6 MB reg-patch and about 235 MB of added files in this directories:
assembly
inf
Microsoft.net
system32
WINSXS

Next I copied these 5 directories into "add2win.wim" - with highest compression this makes a 72 MB package - and copied this wim-image into a vmdk

2. on next boot of BartPE I mount the vmdk and then mount the "add2win.win" to R:\add2win - looks like readonly is suffiecient for my needs.

3. next I copy/junction from R:\add2win to X:\i386 with this batch

exit

With the dirs "assembly" and "Microsoft.net" I can do a junction - with the dirs "inf", "system32" and "WINSXS" I use robocopy to only copy newer files.

Actually I only have to copy a few MBs to the running system - if your EWF-filter allows 16 MB of free space you should be able to do the same.

4. finally I have to apply
regedit /s r:\setupoff.reg
regedit /s r:\framework2.reg
this patches.

No starting of services or other actions are required.
The whole procedure takes about 10 seconds.

Bilou - I doubt that 2k3-sp2 uses the same files and registry as you would need for XP - anyway I uploaded my filelist to

http://sanbarrow.com/moa23/files/filelist-add2win.txt

the batch I use is here
http://sanbarrow.com/moa23/files/add2win-cmd.cmd

and the framework2.reg is here
http://sanbarrow.com/moa23/files/framework2.reg

Warning - this patch needs a clean-up - it still includes some "background-noise"

the setupoff.reg is a simple

CODE

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup]

"SystemSetupInProgress"=dword:00000000

Hope this helps ...

Hey - one nasty trap that just comes to my mind again:
watch out when copying the "assembly" dir - in 2k3-sp2 there is a junction from
X:\I386\assembly\GAC_32\System.EnterpriseServices\2.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a
to
X:\I386\WINSXS\x86_System.EnterpriseServices_b03f5f7f11d50a3a_2.0.0.0_x-ww_7d5f3790
- either create the same junction or simply copy the two files
System.EnterpriseServices.dll
System.EnterpriseServices.Wrapper.dll
to "assembly\GAC_32\System.EnterpriseServices\2.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a" manually.
Don't know if this applies to XP-sp2 ?
