How do I install .NET 4 on Windows Server 2008 R2 from the command line or PowerShell?
This post shows how to do it for .NET 3.5 using dism.exe and PowerShell. I am guessing that, since the .NET 4.0 binaries need to be downloaded first, these instructions do not work for .NET 4.
It's not built into Windows, but it's in the Resource Kit Tools as COMPRESS,
C:\>compress /?
Syntax:
COMPRESS [-R] [-D] [-S] [ -Z | -ZX ] Source Destination
COMPRESS -R [-D] [-S] [ -Z | -ZX ] Source [Destination]
Description:
Compresses one or more files.
Parameter List:
-R Rename compressed files.
-D Update compressed files only if out of date.
-S Suppress copyright information.
-ZX LZX compression. This is default compression.
-Z MS-ZIP compression.
Source Source file specification. Wildcards may be
used.
Destination Destination file | path specification.
Destination may be a directory. If Source is
multiple files and -r is not specified,
Destination must be a directory.
Examples:
COMPRESS temp.txt compressed.txt
COMPRESS -R *.*
COMPRESS -R *.exe *.dll compressed_dir

I have done the following in Powershell:
There are other command line options than
/q(for quiet). You can see those by doing:& .\dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe /?
