Silent install of .NET 2.0 Framework...

[c***@gmail.com]

Here's the command string that I've seen in several threads referring
to the silent installation of the .NET 2.0 Framework...

dotnetfx.exe /q:a /c:"install /q"


This works great for me... I'm just looking for a through explination
of the paramters. I see that MS specifies the "/q", but what do the ":a
/c:..." options mean specifically.

Any pointers to documentation or explination would be appreciated.

Also,
A couple more questions...
- is there a logfile created by this process? If not is there a parm I
add, something like /logilfe "C:\logfilename.log"

dotnetfx.exe /q = run dotnetfx.exe silently
:a = do not show the extraction user interface
/c: = runs this command after unpacking files
"install /q" = run install silently (command being run)

/l "log.log" = create a log file named log.log

Thanks Gregory...
This line works:
dotnetfx.exe /q:a /c "install /q"

but these (with the log switch) do not (dotnetfx.exe process never is
listed as a process in the Task Manager | Processes list):
dotnetfx.exe /q:a /c "install /q" /l
dotnetfx.exe /q:a /c "install /q /l"
dotnetfx.exe /q:a /c "install /l /q"
dotnetfx.exe /q:a /c "install /q" /l "mylog.log"
dotnetfx.exe /q:a /c "install /q" /l:"mylog.log"
dotnetfx.exe /q:a /c "install /q /l 'mylog.log' "
dotnetfx.exe /q:a /c "install /q /l:'mylog.log' "

Any idea why the "/l" log option is not working?

dotnetfx.exe /q:a /c "install /q" /l

I think it's
dotnetfx.exe /q:a /c "install /q /l" <- " after /l
