How to install .NET Desktop Runtime on multiple computers in domain environment ?
Hello, as a prerequisite for deploying some app, I need to install .NET Desktop Runtime current version (8.0.11) on all our computers (couple hundred) in AD domain environment (Windows Server 2019) . The easiest way would be using MSI, but Microsoft for some reason don’t provide this installation method. I tried making my own msi installation file, I took .exe installation file, used “exe to msi converter” (from Microsoft store), checked for installation parameters (should be /install /quiet /norestart ), but it doesn’t do anything, on a test target PC it doesn’t even start (there is no events in event log). Also I tried other software for MSI installation it uses command (msiexec /i “filename.exe” WRAPPED_ARGUMENTS="/install /quiet /norestart") but it also doesn’t work. So I have a couple of questions, do someone know a place for downloading MSI or a correct way of making and deploying one , or maybe some other network installation method (without using third party paid software). I know there is also a powershell install script but I don’t know if it is possible to use it on the network on all computers.
