Deployment Tip Summary

Command Line
We run this to install it:

dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe /q /norestart /log %temp%\dotNetFx40.log

If you run dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe /?, it will extract the setup files into a temporary directory and then display help text reproduced below. However, setup.exe can't be run directly and will just give you an error message, so the text below appears to be misleading.

---------------------------
Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Setup
---------------------------
Usage: Setup [switches]
All switches are optional.

/CEIPconsent - Optionally send anonymous feedback to improve the customer experience.
/chainingpackage <name> - Optionally record the name of a package chaining this one.
/createlayout <full path> - Download all files and associated resources to the specified location. Perform no other action. * Disabled *
/lcid - Set the display language to be used by this program, if possible. Example: /lcid 1031
/log <file | folder> - Location of the log file. Default is the process temporary folder with a name based on the package.
/msioptions - Specify options to be passed for .msi and .msp items. Example: /msioptions "PROPERTY1='Value'"
/norestart - If the operation requires a reboot to complete, Setup should neither prompt nor cause a reboot.
/passive - Shows progress bar advancing but requires no user interaction.
/showfinalerror - Passive mode only: shows final page if the install is not successful.
/pipe <name> - Optionally create a communication channel to allow a chaining package to get progress.
/promptrestart - If the operation requires a reboot to complete, Setup should prompt, and trigger it if the user agrees.
/q - Quiet mode, no user input required or output shown.
/repair - Repair the payloads.
/serialdownload - Force install operation to happen only after all the payload is downloaded.
/uninstall - Uninstall the payloads.
/parameterfolder <full path> - Specifies the path to the Setup’s configuration and data files.
/NoSetupVersionCheck - Do not check ParameterInfo.xml for setup version conflicts.
/uninstallpatch {patch code} - Removes update for all products the patch has been applied to.
/? - Display this help.

Examples:

Silently install the package and create log file SP123.htm in the temp folder: Setup /q /log %temp%\SP123.htm
Install with no user interaction unless reboot is needed to complete the operation: Setup /passive /promptrestart

Note

The above post about "Blocking Issues" when running the setup.exe from the extracted files is respectfully, incorrect. You must add an extra switch, either "/x86" or "/x64" in addition to the options you select.

If you like the MSI approach:

- This example is for x86 machines, I assume you can use the same method for x64 systems (not tested)
- Please note that your system meets the right Prerequisites, like OS service pack, windows installer version, WIC .. (For Win XP SP2 you need MS Installer 3.1 + wic_x86_enu.exe)

0 - Download the full package "dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe"
1 - Use 7Zip or commandline (/x:ExtractionDestination
) to extract the "dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe" content
2 - Install in the following order:
a) RGB9Rast_x86.msi (No props needed, this package is not mandatory)
b) netfx_Core_x86.msi (See 3)
c) netfx_Extended_x86.msi (See 3)
3 - Use MST or commandline to add the following property’s:
A) "EXTUI"="1" --> making solo MSI install possible
B) "UserLanguageID"="%####%" --> Choose LANG code, example 1043 (this is not mandatory)
C) "SystemLanguageID"="%####%" --> Choose LANG code, example 1043 (this is not mandatory)
D) "REBOOT"="ReallySuppress"
E) "ROOTDRIVE"="C:\" (this is not mandatory, but best practise)

Note
This relates to Windows XP:

If you do have only .NET 2 installed on your target machines, the package wants to install the RGB9Rast_x86.msi as it prepares the installer for later versions of .NET installations.

You may recive an error like:
"MSI (E:\073b39cc3bdd7647a3baf06ef854a959\RGB9Rast_x86.msi) Installation failed"

PerformOperation returned 1603 (translates to HRESULT = 0x80070643"
This means fatal error during installation of the RGB9Rast_x86.msi

Simply extract the RGB9Rast_x86.msi from the package and install it before the .NET 4 package like:
RGB9Rast_x86.msi /qn /norestart ALLUSERS=2

Command Line

Doing some lab testing for ConfigMgr 2012.  I wanted to install App-V 5.0 Beta but it needed the .NET Framework 4 Full as a prereq.  So, created the .NET Framework 4 Full application with the following command line:

dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe /q /norestart /ChainingPackage "SCCM 2012"

With this package, you cannot extract the files out by running dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe and then looking for the setup.exe where the files were extracted. If you just run setup.exe, you'll get the following error message:

Blocking Issues:
You cannot use this setup program to install the .NET Framework.
