[Making Nero 8 a silent install]

I finally able to install using ADDLOCAL parameters after I exclude NeroCDDVDSpeed82602EE0, NeroDriveSpeed7DFFCC12, and NeroBurn5AD292D8. But still when installation in progress I have 2 error message telling me that 2 files cannot be registered which are :

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Nero\Lib\NMAudioCDContentHandler.dll

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Nero\Lib\NMHDirServices.dll

I think some components cannot be install individually, must be install together with other component which I don't know what they are.

Can u help me kid1988?

One other things, I find out that, the size and numbers of file of extracted installation file increase after installation.

I don't understand the first thing about scripted install's. the script I made was just using the script on the first page, and some common sense.

some of the parameters might be incorrect. or might indeed, as you said, not co-exist..

I cant recall what exact error message I got with smartstart. something about DLL's and then the application crashes. but the problem also exist when I manually install the app.

I got nero 7 working, with a working script.

I'll still try some nero8 scripts later this week, keep me posted on anything you find!

thanks

It worked with the addlocal extentions I used. it may be possible that not all the features listed have NERO8 counterparts with the same name.

you could check the \Data\Redist\Config\Conf.txt file for the correct extentions.

i tested the particulair script I posted on my PC, Windows Vista Ultimate x64 with UAC disabled, and the installation worked fine, except for smartstart not running after installation.

be sure to have admin rights

do you have any error messages?

this is the way I installed:

Run setup.

extract the NERO13820 dir from the %temp% directory (like stated in the post on the first page)

make a "SCRIPT.CMD" file with notepad including the above scipt and paste it in the NERO13820 directory

run the scipt.

it should automaticly install all the components listed in the script, and execute the SetupX.exe with the set preferences.

I don't really know how I got to it. I was just experimenting with NERO7 and NERO8 scripts in my virtual machine. when it eventually worked I ran the script in my VISTA environment, and it worked. except for some post-installation issues..

I used the script from the first page, then slightly adjusted it it works, also customized...:

@echo off
title Nero 8.1.2.0
echo.
echo Updating DirectX 9c Redistributable...
start /wait Data\Redist\DirectX\dxsetup.exe /silent
echo.
echo VCR...
start /wait Data\Redist\VCRedistSetup.msi /passive /norestart
echo.
echo Nero XML...
start /wait Data\Redist\neroxml.msi /passive /norestart
echo.
echo KB884016 v2...
start /wait Data\Redist\WindowsInstaller-KB884016-v2-x86.exe /passive /norestart
echo.

it works without the first lines, but you do need some of the files in that part

this is the part I edited:

@echo off

echo Installing Nero Premium 8...
start /wait SetupX.exe /qb! /NORESTART ADDLOCAL="NeroBackItUpCB9D5429,NeroBurningRomBCAFF604,NeroBurnRights72CC518F,NeroStartSmartB035464E" RebootYesNo="No" NERO_SCOUT="FALSE" serialnum_userval="**SERIAL HERE***" AgreeToLicense="Yes" EULA_AGREEMENT=1

as you can see I only installed BackItUp, BurningRom, Burn Rights and SmartStart
