`Felix` Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 (edited) Hi all,Based on the "Stripped Down" custom install method that ZileXa has posted ealier in this topic (More info here) I have created a batch file to do all the processing auto-magically Attached is a rar file that included the batch file, the nero custom SFX file for winrar by totoymola (more info here), the post_config.cmd script for setup after the extraction, comment.txt file for auto setup of the new installer by WinRAR and register.reg containing all the registry settings you need to make it work including the registration information. You will need to enter your own CD Key, User Name and Company NameWhat do you need?WinRAR.Attached file.How to:Ok now all you need to do is download the attached file, extract the contents to the same directory as you have nero-6.x.exe and then run "!MakeIt.cmd" once completed you wil have a new file in the same directory called "Custom_Nero.exe" ready to use.Now you can change a number of options in the !makeit.cmd file as you will see below.@echo off:: Nero Custom Installation Builder 1.0:: Copyright 2005 `felix`:: Last updated: March 3, 2005:: Credit to ZileXa @ MSFN for his guide that made:: this process possible. for more information -:: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...ndpost&p=254796:: This batch file will create a Custom installation of Nero:: During the creation process all unrequired files will be :: stripped to assist in reducing the final file size.:: Make sure we are running Windows NT or Above.IF NOT %OS%==Windows_NT GOTO:EOF setlocalTITLE Nero Custom Installation Buildermode con cols=70 lines=3 & color 1f:: setup the variablesset TmpPath=nerotmp:: If you don't have WinRAR in the default location, change it below.set rarIt=%programfiles%\winrar\winrar.exeset installerName=Custom_Nero:: Check to make sure WinRAR is availableif not exist "%rarit%" cls & echo. & echo WinRAR can not be found, aboarding... & goto:eof:: If custom installer exists in the current directory rename itif exist "%installerName%.old" del "%installerName%.old"if exist "%installerName%.exe" ren "%installerName%.exe" "%installerName%.old":: Check that Nero is in the current folder and:: Extract it to %TmpPath%if exist "Nero-*" for %%i in ("Nero-*.exe" "NVE-*.exe") do call:extract %%i:: Copy the post installation files for the final installerxcopy /q /y post_config.cmd %TmpPath% >NUL & xcopy /q /y register.reg %TmpPath% >NULcd %TmpPath%:: Listed below is the features that will be included in the :: custom build.

Methanoid Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Zilexa's method wont work with Recode etc (confirmed with Nero tech supp)... only way to do a custom installer I found was to use Symantec AI Snapshot, install Nero and NVE and then use General Clean Tool to remove all bits you DONT want.Recode needs various reg entries and DLLs I think - bah!Oh well, just Nero for me will be fine.. how do I get ShORTCUT.exe tho???

Is there any way for !MakeIt.cmd to make a log file so we can see whats going wrong?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Just did 4 tests here in 4 different machines and vmware and it worked everytime. is winrar installed in the default location? Try this at the cmd prompt type (copy and paste) IF /I not exist "%programfiles%\winrar\winrar.exe" echo it is not hereIf winrar is not at this location, then "it is not here" will be echoed. if you get this change the path to where your winrar is. find the line that saysset rarIt=D:\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe(line 22) and then change that to reflect your installed path. if you are still having problems let me know. am going to add some logging to the script tomorrow, however it is 3am here and i am now going to bed.
