.NET 4.5.2 Repack Installer for Windows 7 SP1 x86/x64

• Repacked slim installer for .NET Framework 4.5.2 with latest updates integrated and without extra setup payload.

• Note:
  to rebuild/recreate netfx_Full_LDR.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 .NET 4.5.2 offline installer file here next to the scripts
  you can use the original RTM installer NDP452-KB2901983-x86-x64-ENU.exe,
  or the latest Hotfix Rollup NDP452-KB3166737-x86-x64-ENU.exe, it's actually a standalone full refreshed installer.

• Place any updates exe files here also (make sure to get files for both x86 and x64).

• Optional, edit dotNetFx452.cmd and change the two options values (1 or 0):
  BuildMzz: Rebuild/Repack files inside netfx_Full_LDR.mzz instead administrative directories.
  ShowMsp: Show slipstreamed patches in "Control Panel\Programs and Features\Installed Updates".

• Run dotNetFx452.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 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 | /?

NDP452-Slim-x86-x64-ENU.exe /y  
Silently install package and display no progress:

• 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 .NET 4.5.2 LangPack files inside LP directory (Recommended to put all lang files, or you may put only specific languages).

• Run dotNetFx452LP.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 version.
