Hello, I'm going to look like a newbie, but there's something that annoys me a lot. When I switch to "Standard" display mode in this forum, it doesn't keep this setting when I move to the next page of a topic. How can I fix this ? Regards, Kal

I've just tested with the english version of nero lite and I don't have the problem. So, there's something wrong in Nero-7.10.1.0_europe_lite.exe... Regards, Kal

I've just tried your command line mara-, and it doesn't change : I still have to install it twice to get a serial entry in the registry. Here is the command line that I've used : Nero-7.10.1.0_europe_lite.exe /sp /silent /serial=**************************** /NORESTART Kal

As Acheron said, we can't do that Off course, I understood that these was for bold text and I didn't include its when I tried. I'm going to try without quotation around the serial. But I can't see why it could work in a 7-zip switchless installer and not in command line if the command is the same. What does mean your "/sp" in your RunProgram command ? Regards, Kal

I've just tried it : it doesn't solve the problem :/ Thank you anyway, Kal

It does not work. I've sent you a pm with a video link showing what happens. Thank you for your reactivity Ok, i'm going to try it. Kal

I've just tested the final nero lite, and I still have the same issue. I have to install it twice on a fresh Windows Vista install to get a serial entry in the registry. Here is the command line that I use : start "nero" /wait %AppsRoot%\wpi\install\nero\Nero.exe /SERIAL="****-****-****-****-****-****-****" /NORESTART /SILENT Acheron, is it possible to use SetupX.exe (Nero ProductSetup) in command line to silently register nero ?

Two minutes for what ? Download it ?

Acheron : Do you know how can I solve the issue i've just posted ? I need to install nero twice to get a serial entry in the registry (silently off course). Regards, Kal

Ok, I've tested /SERIAL switch and it seems there's a little issue to fix. Indeed, when I install it for the first time, there's no serial entry added to registry. But If I install it a second time, then a serial entry is correctly added. I do the installation during the first boot, in the "specialize" pass. Is there a way to use SetupX.exe silently to do the registration ? Kal

Ok thank you, i'm going to test it right now ! If I can make you a suggestion : edit your first post with avalaible switches, I forgot this one Thank you again for you reactivatity! Kal

I have exactly the same error window as you. I install nero lite with /VERYLSILENT switch on a unattended vista dvd. Then, I import this reg file : Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ; User information [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ahead\Installation\Families\Nero 7\Info] "User"="Kal" "Company"="Kal" "Serial"="xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx" "MissingFilesState"="0" "EulaAccepted"="1" If I launch nero I get the FATAL ERROR window. If I remove the serial from the registry, then I can enter it manually with Nero ProductSetup. After that, It works like a charm. It just add the serial in the same registry location, except the key name is something like "Serial7_XXXXXXXX", but I can rename it to "Serial" without any problem. So, what's going on ? Thank you for your work Acharon, Kal

I can't wait for the final

Use this command line : start "Uninstall" /wait MsiExec.exe /X {91120000-0031-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE} /passive /norestart

Thank you FireGeier! Your unattended guide is highly appreciated too! That's where I learned everything (with WAIK Doc). As you said, this solution implies to run AppsRoot.exe from target SystemRoot, not from the DVD. I put AppsRoot.exe in VistaWork\DVD\SOURCES\$OEM$\$$\SETUP\SCRIPTS and then i can run it from specialize pass like explained in first post. I didn't use UseConfigSet (I don't know what it is). By the way, I don't see where it's a problem to put that file on target drive The best way would be to launch AppsRoot.exe from DVD, so I will use GetCurrentDirectory() method to get CDROM drive letter. But I still didn't found a way to launch it from DVD, so i'm using an AppsRoot.txt file to recognize my cdrom. Thank you for your answer. You can use/distrib AppsRoot.exe in your guide if you need. Regards, Kal

To know my cdrom drive letter during my unattended installation, i used this trick during specialize pass : <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Description>Detect CDROM</Description> <Order>10</Order> <Path>cmd /c "FOR %i IN (C D E F G H I J K L N M O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %i:\AppsRoot.txt SETX AppsRoot %i: -m"</Path> </RunSynchronousCommand> By the way, I had an error dialog box while it was detecting AppsRoot : I had this error dialog box only on my main computer, not on my laptop. It's because my LCD Monitor has a memory stick/usb flash reader. Drive letters exists but there's no disk inside and it throws an exception (it should not, but it throws it). So I Wrote a little .NET program (AppsRoot.exe) to detect AppsRoot.txt and set AppsRoot environment variable. Because it's written in low level, I can manage exceptions so there won't be error dialog box anymore and my unattended installation will stay unattended. Here is how I use it, in specialize pass : <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Description>Detect CDROM</Description> <Order>10</Order> <Path>cmd /c %systemroot%\setup\scripts\AppsRoot.exe</Path> </RunSynchronousCommand> And that's it! At first logon, you'll have your AppsRoot environment variable set correctly. I've joined the executable AppsRoot.exe and its source in C# 2.0. Hope it could help, Kal AppsRoot.exe AppsRoot_SRC.rar

Right now, i'm just waiting for the final version to finalize my vista unattended dvd. If you could build the french localized version, I would really appreciate Regards, Kal

I can provide a french mirror (hosted by free.Fr) if you wish

I would like to build the french version. Where do you find the files present in http://updatepack.nl/nero_lite/nero7_filelist.txt ? I guess the SDK need these files to build nero lite...

All right, I finally get it working. During specialize pass, i execute a simple batch file to specify the network icon & network name network.cmd cmdow @ /HID @echo off SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList REG ADD "%KEY%\Signatures\FirstNetwork" /V "IconPath" /t REG_SZ /D "%WINDIR%\system32\NetworkList\Icons\StockIcons\House" /F ;REG ADD "%KEY%\Signatures\FirstNetwork" /V "NetworkName" /t REG_SZ /D "R‚seau" /F ;REG ADD "%KEY%\Signatures\FirstNetwork" /V "Category" /t REG_DWORD /D 00000000 /F As you can see, i do not specify Category because it's always public, evin if i set it to 00000001. I don't either set the NetworkName because i want to keep the default one. I just set the House icon. So, here is what I have in specialize pass to execute this batch file: <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Deployment" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <RunSynchronous> <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Description>Detect CDROM</Description> <Order>10</Order> <Path>cmd /c "FOR %i IN (C D E F G H I J K L N M O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %i:\AppsRoot.txt SETX AppsRoot %i: -m"</Path> </RunSynchronousCommand> <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Description>network</Description> <Order>50</Order> <Path>cmd /c %systemroot%\setup\scripts\network.cmd</Path> </RunSynchronousCommand> </RunSynchronous> </component> According to the tip posted in the first post, i have this in my oobe pass: <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <CommandLine>cmd /c reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\NewNetworks" /v NetworkList /t REG_MULTI_SZ /d "" /f</CommandLine> <Description>network</Description> <Order>30</Order> </SynchronousCommand> It's this command that will avoid the network location dialog to pop up. Finally, I add another batch file in oobe pass to set the network location to private : <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <CommandLine>%AppsRoot%\WPI\Install\setprivate.cmd</CommandLine> <Description>Set Private</Description> <Order>40</Order> </SynchronousCommand> setprivate.cmd: cmdow @ /HID @echo off FOR /F "usebackq delims=\ tokens=8" %%i IN (`reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles"`) DO set x=%%i REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\UPnP Device Host\Devices" /F REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\UPnP Device Host\Providers" /F REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles\%x%" /V "Category" /t REG_DWORD /D 00000001 /F REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles\%x%" /V "CategoryType" /t REG_DWORD /D 00000000 /F REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\FDResPub" /V "Start" /t REG_DWORD /D 00000002 /F REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\upnphost" /V "Start" /t REG_DWORD /D 00000002 /F shutdown /r /t 0 In this batch file, i activate FDResPub & upnphost services. Indeed, during my registry checks, i saw that the first time it switch to private from public network, these services was activating. Be sure to reboot after running setprivate.cmd. Hope it helps, Kal

That's nice !

Did you try to activate upnp service ? I don't think that it will change something, but who knows ...

Thats exactly what it will be like. The localized versions will be available when the final comes out, I think. Ok. Waiting will be long

I'm glad to see you back Acharon Where can i find french version of RC5? Maybe it's not avalaible and you wait for the final release to include tranlation ? Regards, Kal
