title: How do I deploy .NET Framework 4 using Active Directory deployment?
body: <p>I know it's possible to deploy earlier versions of the .NET framework using AD deployment, for example: <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc160717.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc160717.aspx</a>.</p>
  
  <p>How do it do this for .NET 4?  I tried unpacking the standalone .NET 4 installer and deploying the netfx_Extended_x86.msi package.  This didn't work.  After a reboot the event log shows that it tried but it failed to install with a message saying to run setup.exe.</p>
