I know that the Updater downloads the main dotnet files and patches, but it doesn't appear that it will install them (I always end up running Windows Update to get all these updates. Is there a way to do these updates silently (either through the Updater or on a command line?) I did find this on another site:
start /wait dotnetfx35.exe /passive /norestart
start /wait NDP20SP2-KB958481-x86.exe /passive /norestart
start /wait NDP30SP2-KB958483-x86.exe /passive /norestart
start /wait NDP35SP1-KB958484-x86.exe /passive /norestart
start /wait NDP30SP2-KB982524-x86.exe /passive /norestart
But that only does 3.5, and from what I can see looking in my dotnet\x86-glb folder, there are ton more updates in that folder. Would it be worth doing a silent install of these files from the command line?
Thanks!
