.NET 4.8/4.7.2 Repack Installer for Windows 7 SP1 x86/x64

• Repacked slim installer for .NET Framework 4.8/4.7.2 with latest updates integrated and without extra setup payload.

• Support creating slim updated installer for .NET 4.6 and later.

• Note:
  to rebuild/recreate netfx_Full.mzz file, you need to download WiX Toolset binaries
  then, extract the files into BIN directory (you can delete the big sdk folder, it's not needed).

Create slim main package:

• Place NDP*-ENU.exe file here next to the scripts (e.g. NDP48-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe or NDP472-KB4054541-x86-x64-ENU.exe or NDP472-KB4054530-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe).

• If exist, also place any updates exe files here (make sure to get files for both x86 and x64).

• Optional, edit dotNetFx.cmd and change the two options values (1 or 0):
  BuildMzz: Rebuild/Repack files inside netfx_Full.mzz instead administrative directories.
  ShowMsp: Show slipstreamed patches in "Control Panel\Programs and Features\Installed Updates".

• Run dotNetFx.cmd as administrator.

• Note: you may change \BIN\NDP\DisplayIcon.ico prior execution, if you want another ARP icon.

• Optional, use 7zSFX.cmd to create 7-zip SFX executable installer afterwards.
  you will need to modify \BIN\7zSFX\7zSD.sfx module with resource editor to update and set product name and version.

• Available command line switches:

/y  
Passive mode, shows progress but requires no user interaction.  
/ai  
Quiet mode, no user input required, only extraction dialog is shown.  
/ai /gm2  
Quiet mode, no user input required or output shown.  
/sfxlang:  
Set the program display language, if possible. Example: /sfxlang:1031  
/h | /?  
Display this help.  

Examples:  

Automatically install package and display progress:  
NDP472-Slim-x86-x64-ENU.exe /y  
Silently install package and display no progress:  
NDP472-Slim-x86-x64-ENU.exe /ai /gm2

• If you previously created 7z.SFX installer (main or langpack), move it to another location before attemping to use/run dotNetFx.cmd again.

Create slim languages packages:

• Place NDP*.exe files inside LP directory (Recommended to put all lang files, or you may put only specific languages).

• Run dotNetFxLP.cmd as administrator.

• Note: you may change \BIN\NDP\LP\DisplayIcon.ico prior execution, if you want another ARP icon.

• Optional, use 7zSFX.cmd to create 7-zip SFX executable installer afterwards.
  you will need to modify \BIN\7zSFXLP\7zSD.sfx module with resource editor to update and set product name and version.

• Available command line switches:

/y  
Passive mode, shows progress but requires no user interaction.  
/ai
