x23piracy Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) Hi, what is the main difference between for example installing dot net 4.5 via sfx (AIO Installer) or as Addon?Will Addons be pre integrated so there is no real install when installing windows 7 (so less time) or is justthe same but i just don't see the install progress? Who can clear this? Greetz X23 Edited February 24, 2013 by x23piracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooms Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 AFAIK it is just different packaging.DotNet will still be installed on first launch.Install progress can be hidden with sfx as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mooms Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 ricktendo's installers are smaller, always up to date and language packs are easy to add, so I prefer them over original+updates, but it's your choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x23piracy Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Hi, ok means ricktendo throws all the rubbish in he installer away?But for what the hell do i need a language pack for dot net? Where is any gui i see?Is the language pack for the settings windows of dot net? Greetz X23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktendo Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 The language pack is needed if you have a non English OS and the GUI you mention that need translations are .NET aplications and/or .NET error messages Yes, I remove non essential stuff (but I also have a rebuilt installer that keeps that stuff and still saves you space) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogurt Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) My image can grow to be quite large so personally prefer a slim installer with no setup junk to conserve precious space. Edited February 24, 2013 by dotfusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
