Unable to install .NET Framework 4.8 in silent mode

Question

Hi,
I am unable to install .NET Framework 4.8 offline installer via silent mode. I used Admin CMD with "ndp48-x86-x64-allos-enu.exe /q /norestart" command to install. It won't install and stuck in End User Accept License area. I knew this is because I removed /q option to run again and it stated on EULA.

Is there a command option to accept EULA so that we can install it in silent mode?

Thanks,
Brandon.

Answer 1

you would need to use the following as that is the EULA Page that is coming up and requires the box to be 'checked' before continuing the installation

ndp48-x86-x64-allos-enu.exe /passive (or /quiet) /AcceptEULA /norestart

Answer 2

I'm having the same issues, tried everything, cant get passed the ULA. help!

Brandon, did you get this to work?

Answer 3

Here is some powershell that I have that works to fully download and install the .Net 4.8 developer pack.

# install the .Net 4.8 developer pack

$firstUrl="https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework/thank-you/net48-developer-pack-offline-installer"

$installFile="ndp48-devpack-enu.exe"

# get the developerpack download content page

Write-Host "Getting The Direct Download link from $firstUrl"

$HTML = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $firstUrl -UseBasicParsing -SessionVariable session

# find the direct download link from that page

$url = $HTML.Links | Where-Object {$_.onclick -eq "recordmanualdownload()"}|Select-Object -ExpandProperty href

If(-Not $url)

{

Write-Error "Could not find the Manual Download link for $firstUrl"

Exit 1

}

Write-Host "downloadLink=$url"

# download the actual EXE and save it

Write-Host "Downloading to $installFile"

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "$url" -OutFile $installFile

if (-Not (Test-Path $installFile)) {

Write-Error "Downloaded $installFile file could not be located"

Exit 1

}

$installarguments = '/msioptions "AGREETOLICENSE=yes ACCEPTEULA=Yes" /norestart /passive /qb'

Write-Host "Executing $installFile $installarguments"

Start-Process -Wait -FilePath $installFile -ArgumentList $installarguments -Verb RunAs

rm $installFile
