Anyone know how to silently install?

it looks to be a installshield setup file, so I would say /s or /s/v"/QN"

besides you cannot have a legit copy of it as it will be released on the 13th of october, you can use /a on the msi-file to create an adminstrative installpoint an then just compress the parts of the suite you want into an 7z/rar or whatever to be extracted in your %programfiles% during install.

dude, wth does that have to do with nero 7?

eirogge, Im sure youve heard of such things as beta testers? well nero uses them also...now im not saying I am one, but I have tested the program only to find out in its beta form I must warn everyone from using it. I dont know how many times I had to reinstall/repair the program...every time I rebooted nero home and burning rom would always have an issue and id have to repair. so for those beta testing, I can only say the best bet is to wait until nero releases it.

That is correct evilvoice.

Although none of the switches you suggested worked for the setup laucnher SetupX.exe

there is a config file...i forget where, do a search for config.* and youll find it...but it looks like quite a few options can be used there, tho i have no idea how to call it because even tho i set some things in there, the installer doesnt automatically pull from it.

It says I cant run the NeroSuite.msi directly, I have to run the SetupX.exe.

try running the msi with ISSETUPDRIVEN=0. I have no way of testing this nor do I know for a fact, I downloaded the whole huge file and about a day later deleted it for the reasons I stated above, so I have no way of testing anything...I can just give ideas.

Tried to run NeroSuite.msi with ISSETUPDRIVEN=0

still get the message "Sorry, but the installer has to be started with SetupX.exe file"

Talk about one heck of a bloated pig this thing is. I think that the way to do this one is a complete repack. Should be able to cut down the size to about a third or even smaller.

Yeah, I know nothing about doing such things, but it seems its the only way, to repack! They just didnt include any way of silent install (yet?).

try runnin setupx.exe /? see what that does...you could also use a hex editor and see if there is anything that resembles a silent install...I hope this isnt what the final will look like..

Running SetupX.exe /? only opens up the installguide GUI.

I'm not familiar with hex editors and what I should look for

How about trying to run it from a script or batch file?
