Hey guys ...
I'm performing an administrative install of VisualStudio 2005 with a "/UNATTENDFILE" switch and i have all prerequisites preinstalled.
Please, i need help with this three questions:
1. If i have all the prerequisites preinstalled, how to create an ini file (/CREATEUNATTEND) only for a VisualStudio and NOT for it and all the prerequisites
2. How to avoid the reboots in the installation process
3. How to install the MSDN Library to run from a source ubicated in a shared resource With the previous version of MSDN (for VS 2003) this switch MSDN.MSI SETUP_EXE="yes" works (500 MB aprox.), but with this new version it installs all the Lybrary (1.5 GB. aprox).
Thanks in advance !!!
DV.

Visual Studio 2005 Final Setup: ¿ How to avoid reboots and ... ?

I installed the prerequisites(MS Dotnet Framework 2.0, XML Parser 6.0,J# redistributable 2.0)ON XP SP2 Machine before the VS Installation.
I created the ini file as per the adminreadme.htm file and followed the instructions.
for creating it the command used is
path to setup.exe /createunattend path to ini file.
I just removed SQL Server feature from the setup and then run through command line arguments.
The command used is
setup.exe /unattendfile path to ini file.
But the VS setup was installing some files.
when I checked in task manager setup.exe process was running. and when I checked the log file in user settings temp folder it was installing again dot net frame work. but after some time machine restarted.This happened again and again when ever I try to run the above command.
can some body help on this.

#1 - Not supported. The ini file created is for any machine so if the components aren't there, it won't install it. If it is, it will by pass it.
#2 - Reboots occur when files are in use. The best way to avoid this is to make sure nothing is running when you deploy VS. There's nothing to tell VS to skip the reboot if one is absolutely required.
