This is intended for keep code65536's work going. Besides merely an update, I decide to divide it into several packs, for VC7-9 runtimes is almost a must-have while old VC1/VB1-4 runtimes is only for those who work with old apps. Adding to that, VC10 is a new-comer, on which nearly no apps are developed till now.
Goal
Different from code65536's goal, my goal is to provide basic Microsoft runtime coverage to satisfy the common needs that is missing from Windows XP while still providing stuffs to fill the "gaps" that Microsoft left. I have included only Microsoft C-family runtimes (CRT/MFC/etc.) and VB runtimes. No third-party non-Microsoft runtimes are included. No ActiveX controls are included. Only language runtimes. If you are looking for more than just runtimes or if you are looking for third-party libraries, then one of the other addons may be better suited for your needs.
Why a "true addon" and why not?
First, this is a "no-frills" pack. Second, the installation happens during the text setup and the very beginning of GUI setup(VC8-9), which means that the runtimes here will be installed early enough that programs that depend on these runtimes can be run at any time during Windows setup. Finally, this is an extremely "clean" install; there are no CABs to unpack, no INFs to process, which means this pack "leaves no trace".
The cons of this pack, however, is the unavoidable size increase of you XP Disc. The size increase is further more than the addon's size since the addon is compressed in 7-zip, probably the best one, while the files on XP Disc are compressed in cabinet. In the case you want to save space, please consider using a switchless installer. Additionally, there seems to be some apps that don't like the true addon and insist to install the runtimes of their own.
So I offer them both.
Overview of Microsoft Runtimes

VC1: included in this addon as a component of Legacy Addon

.NET 4 is at post #2.
.NET 3.5 For Windows XP/2k3, .NET 2.0 For Windows 2000/XP/2k3, Last Updated 2011/10/16
If you like my build and want to make an addon with language packs, here are some points you should take
Description:

This is my work on dotnet framework. It features this tutorial so the size is noticable reduced. Also other efforts are made to keep the size even smaller and the content latest-updated.
Features:Compatible for 2k3/xp in one installer with all latest-updated components.
Updates are listed out in ARP.
T-13 compatible.
all related items on MU are blocked. language packs are also blocked if you use this installer on a non-English OS.(coutesy of strel)
Ability to exclude .NET firefox extension(i.e. .NET Framework Assistant for Firefox).(coutesy of strel)
Several reliant components are removed to make the installer slim.
Files are updated with latest from Vista and .NET 4. Notes and Pre-requisites:
VC8 and VC9 runtimes are removed from this installation. You must have VC8 runtime as pre-requisite for .NET 2.0 and VC9 runtime as pre-requisite for .NET 3.5. If you use Windows XP, My M$ Runtimes or Kel's Runtimes is a good solution for you.
MSXML6 is removed, plz use an update pack containing it.(XP sp3 has MSXML6 natively.) This is a pre-requisite for .NET 3.0.
WIC is removed, check this thread for detail.(XP sp3 has WIC natively.) This is a pre-requisite for .NET 3.0.
XPS is removed, check this thread for detail. This is a pre-requisite for .NET 3.0.
On KB961118: KB961118 is a junk-hotfix according to KB articles KB961118 and KB971314. Integrate KB971314 (and KB961118, according to some English OS users' reports) by nlite/HFSlip directly or use an update pack containing it to avoid MU pushing KB961118. Once KB971314 is integrated or installed, KB961118 is not needed any longer. (In fact for this pack, KB961118 does nothing more than stopping MU pushing it, it does not fix the issue describe in its KB article because we use a newer version of unidrv.dll.)

Contains:

Base Product:Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 x86 + KB959209
which equals to


Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update (KB951847) x86 on Microsoft/Windows Update

NOTE AGAIN:

make sure you have VC2005 Redist installed on your system before installing .NET 2.0!
make sure you have MSXML6, WIC and XPS installed on your system before installing .NET 3.0!MSXML6 is a stuff most update pack contains(and is natively a component of XP SP3)
WIC is included in XP SP3, if you want here are updates.
XPS is an individual component, you can use my addon.make sure you have VC2008 redist installed on your system before installing .NET 3.5!


Installer Switches:

Switches can be combined together, -gm2 and -ai always come prior to others.-ai Unattended installation -qb Passive -qn Silent -fo Execute ngen.exe for performance Full Optimizations -nf No Firefox Extension(You can also use -noffxbat or -noffclickonce to block respective firefox component from being installed)

Known Issues:

If you install .NET 2.0/3.5 on Windows 2003 at T-13, you'll get the following error in setuperr.log:
Error:
Setup failed to install the .NET Framework Migration Package package (version 2.0) on your system.
Software which depends on this package may not function properly. Contact your system administrator.

However the installation is fine, despiting it may cause some ASP.NET issues, Event Viewer suggests this can be fixed by using aspnet_regiis.exe /i.
The best solution is installing this installer on Windows 2003 at ROE or later, or you can wait for next release. The .NET 1.1 could be installed on Windows 2003, you should remove the "native" one and do some extra steps:Disable SFC.
- OR -
Hacking sfcfiles.dll to fulfill .NET 1.1's file names with '00'(empty character).

Downloads:

Downloads are svcpack.inf(T-13) addons with -ai (-ai -nf) switch. You can extract it to get the installer.
Additionally, you can change the mode by editing Entries_dotnetfx.ini and then compress them back.

Changelog:

The link and quote you listed is exactly what I referred to on my first post.

this is a modified ver of rick's WinRAR 3.7x Auto Addon Maker
I tended to make it work through OSes of all languages, also some more custom settings...

Also you can choose some basic settings such as whether to associate ISO with WinRAR and whether using a cascaded right-click context menu. And for Non-English WinRAR, English SFXes will be added.
If WinRAR is updated just install it and run this tool again and will build you a updated addon.

Windows Media Player 10 With Windows Media Connect 2 & Windows Media 11 Runtimes
For Windows XP/MCE/2k3, Last Updated 2011/6/29
Description:

This addon will replace your Windows Media Player Component in your windows installation CD with its contents.
This version is named V3.
V1 is based on Ryan's work, i translated it into Chinese that time.
V2 is somehow similar to Onepiece's WMP11 Addon. We did the same thing that is modifying the default wmp.inf and associated files rather than Ryan & boooggy's "Install WMP9 then Install WMP10/11" method.(although we achieve file copying via different ways)
Both V1 and V2 are only in Chinese/Japanese. Now since some people need a up-to-date WMP 10 Addon, so I decide to also release V3 in English.
Here is V3. It has several points over V2:
Compatibility with XP/MCE/2k3 in one Addon. MCE Updates included. for 2k3, M$ does not install skins but this addon does.
Windows Media Formats, DRM Management, WUDF and other runtimes are Version 11(ripped from WMP11).
Obsolete files are removed. They are either utility to migrate DRM stuffs or a file with several KiloBytes which is used to overwrite the old file.
Addon structure: File Copy handling and Registry improvements

nonno fabio and OnePiece Alb, without their wmp/ie7 addon i wouldn't have realized it's possible to handle file copying like this.
(although i managed to achieve it when i released V2, but my method is kinda "cheating"...)
Ryan and boooggy, for their first-hand wmp addons. although they are old yet still good.
