Silent Install vjredist.exe In Azure web role

Question

I'm trying to install the Visual J# 2.0 libraries into a web role using a command in a Startup.cmd. I have the following in the startup cmd.

%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config -section:applicationPools -applicationPoolDefaults.enable32BitAppOnWin64:true

sc config wuauserv start= demand

wusa.exe "Windows6.0-KB974405-x64.msu" /quiet /norestart

sc config wuauserv start= disabled

vjredist.exe /q:a /c:"inst.exe /l /q"

exit /b 0

Second last line is what I think should be installing the vjredist, but this is not working.

Any ideas how to do this, it is not working. I have to install manually which is not any use in the long run.

Thanks

Answer 1

Does the script work in you local environment? Or a local Windows Server 2008 SP2 VM?

No, it doesn't work locally. Got this from a forum.

Any ideas?

Answer 3

Could someone from Microsoft take this up please? Is there a silent install for Visual J# 2.0?

Thanks

Hi Rahul,

I installed
Microsoft Visual J#® 2.0 Redistributable Package – Second Edition (x64) on
my local machine and packaged following dlls from Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727 directory. This worked fine  on Windows Azure.

-         
vjscor.dll

-         
vjslib.dll

-         
vjslibcw.dll

-         
vjsnativ.dll

-         
vjsvwaux.dll

 

I assume packaging above dlls does not violate license terms of Microsoft Visual J#® 2.0 Redistributables.

regards,

if you can get msi for visual j# then its easier. 

msi file will be included in the .exe file that you have for visual j#. You can either extract this exe file using 7-zip or  you can run the exe and then wait for a while, go to your temp folder and search/browse for the file jsredist.msi or vjredist.msi, then you can run following command from with your startup task for silent install :

msiexec /i jsredist.msi /qn /norestart

Answer 6

vjredist.exe /q:a /c:"inst.exe /l /q"

The command above is incorrect. inst.exe should be install.exe as below:

vjredist.exe /q:a /c:"install.exe /q"
