Regarding the Run button control to install
Hello,

I am trying use Nullsoft installer to install .NET framework 2.0 on my machine. In my code I have written in such a way that, it will check if .NET Framework 2.0 exists, if not it will try to install from the internet or from any folder where the "dotnetfx.exe" is already donwloaded. I want to install it from a folder where I have downloaded the "dotnetfx.exe". For that I guess I need to ask the user to click on the "Run" button to install or "Cancel" button to cancel the installation. I am not getting how can I show this screen or the dialog for the user to start installing. Please let me know if anybody has any idea.

Thanks in advance,

Naina


Almost every installer can run silently with the correct parameters. There's probably a page on the Wiki explaining how this is done specifically for the .NET installer, but the Wiki is currently down. You can use unattended to figure out the command line parameters.
