gyrene2083, I've looked at ways to change the installation path for Nero, but it would be too dificult to incorporate into the script. I'm afraid I haven't had chance to look at you cleanup script, but if it does what it's meant to, be happy!

OK, here goes: I have re-done the script for 7.5.1.1, and have changed the way the custom configuration options are selected, so if you say you DO want a feature it will change it accordingly (the previous script ony deselected items not chosen). Nero checks for the presence of SP2 and DirectX 9.0c, if they are not there it prompts you to install them. This IS NOT handled by this script, so you will need to make sure you have these installed before you run this script. Left in from the old script is a batch of settings which alter options in the running of the program (overburn, verify, etc.) these may or may not work with this version (I haven't had time to test them, and I never used them before). You will notice this section by the large & obvious comment section before it! If others are prepaired to test these options and let me know if they work (or if they don't) and any additional options (or alternatives), I will add them to the script. Needless to say, you must enter your Name, Company & Serial Details, and choose the options you want to install. I have tested this script with the Ultra version of the program, if any users have problems with other versions, get in touch and I will try to modify it accordingly. As usual, any feedback is appreciated, and I will endeavour to rectify faults as soon as pssible, but if anyoine else wants to chip in, feel free! AutoIt_Nero_7.5.1.1.au3

Hi Sangi, I have to say I haven't been following the development (I'm still using 6.6!), but will grap this version and have another look at the script. Might be a couple of days, but I'll be working on it!

Nero 7.2.0.3 I hope this helps those that need it. this script has been created with the help of Glowy & Sanjay. Thanks go to them for their help, it wouldn't be here without them. This is my first (published) script, and although we seem to have ironed out the bugs, if you find any, let us know in the following thread (don't post here, as this is for scripts ONLY) [url="http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=73118"]http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=73118[/url] There is an English version of the script (Nero7.au3) and a Dutch version created by Glowy (Nero7nld.au3) Thanks, Salawinder.

frasuperbike, The problem with saying Yes to all components, I think is partly to do with you Upgrading or re-installing Nero - if you put n for the component the script de-selects it, but if you put a y it does nothing! this is again because this was planned for fresh installations.

frasuperbike, Thanks for your input! The first modification should not bee needed though, I saw that the title bar changed during the installation, and realised that if people were installing different versions the title bar would differ even more, so I set the option WinTitleMatchMode to look for a part of the title, so in your case it would look for just "Installazione guidata" throughout the script, rather than "Nero 7 Ultra Edition - Installazione guidata", then even if the title bar changes the "Installazione guidata" should remain the same. I think you 2nd modification is for people who are upgrading from an earlier version of Nero, if this is correct (and presuming it works) that's okay, but the intention of my script is for use during an unattended install, so this shouldn't be an issue. I'll leave it out of my script, but if it works for you, all the better! Thanks. Thanks.

Floppy, Glowy has made a Dutch version of the script, and there are differences, mainly what text the script looks for during the installation. A Norwegian script would need to be modified to look for the text on the Norwegian installer. If you'd like to voulenteer to make a Norwegian version..... Alternatively you should be able to use the English or Dutch versions of the script with the English or Dutch installers and they 'should' work fine! Sanjay, Thanks for spotting this, and adding your contributions. Like I say anybody can help out!

Sanjay, If you are changing the script in a way that makes it better for everyone, and post it as a script yourself! Glowy and I have put our 2p worth into the project, so f you have something to add don't be worried about our feelings, post away - as they say the more the merrier. I haven't tested your additions, so can't be 100% sure they are working (my test system is working on something else), so if you have tested them, post it as an improvement. EDIT: I just re-read that, and it sounds a bit as though I'm telling you off, don't take it that way, I have no problem with anyone changing the script, if it makes it better then it helps everyone. I haven't had chance to test your additions, so take the credit for them by uploading your modified script.

Sangi, No need to apologise, Glowy has been as much a part of making this work as I have, and I'm in no way enough of a primadonna to lay claim to this script, it is a colaboration, and you've helped by testing it! Without the feedback we wouldn't know where we were going wrong - the first draft I posted did everything I wanted it to; but as I quickly realised, there were other configurations that made some parts of the script work and others not. As a matter of fact I still plan on using Nero 6.6 for the time-being, I still find the interface for 7 more complicated - for example when you complete a burn using Nero StartSmart, it gives you the options to burn a new project, burn the same project etc, but where is the exit button? - you have to click the X on the window to close it, and for the people I am installing this for that would just confuse things! Rant over (if the Nero developers are reading, take note of the above and stop making your installer so difficult!)

Glowy, I have added a couple of entries at the end to delete some other shortcuts - if you do a full install of everything it adds extra shortcuts, so I've added the ability to remove them if wanted. I've used your StringUpper idea, thanks for that. I also changed the 'ShortCut Options' to 'y' if you want to delete them, rather than create them which seemed more appropriate now. I have disabled the $SOpt1 option, and removed the relevant code; the problem here is that if people install other options the tick box that this clicks on might not be the one to disable the AutoPlay option, and will be enabling or disabling something else! - if you can figure out how to remove the AutoPlay entries post-install with the shortcuts I'd appreciate it (the registry isn't really my thing!) Thanks. Nero7.au3

Good work Glowy, 1 problem though - I noticed when doing this that the final page of options during installation can have other pages on it, so the AutoPlay setting will not work either. Personally I don't have a problem with this and if the applications are not installed then I can't see why others would either (feedback please). So it would be best if you remove that from the script (lines 281 to 288). Other than that I think it's we've cracked it!

DOH! I see the problem as clear as mud! I was using certain options, which meant on the final options screen I only had three options available, and my 'MouseClicks' were set for those - I have just done an install with all components and can see the problem. I think I will drop the MouseClicks for these Options and manually delete the shortcuts..... .....Working on it now......

Updated script which includes the option to hide the progree dialogues (Thanks to Glowy). I have adde the command to get rid of the Scout Toolbar (again thanks to Glowy) Plus I figured out how to get rid of the scout shortcut which should work for any version. Enjoy, and keep the feedback coming..... Nero7.au3

Glowy, Thanks for your help on this, I'm clearly not as fast as you at testing and updating. Your help is appreciated. I had noticed that the 'Scout' toolbar was there & was looking for a way to get rid of it, so thanks for getting rid of that. For some reason on my test PC the Icon in My Computer is not there - perhaps another reboot ? Sanjay, your comments are not taken as a critisism, when I looked at BoardBabes script it looked perfect, and it seems the guys at Nero almost purposely (I'm not paranoid, I can prove it!!) stopped the installer from working that way, so now the only way to automate the install (unless someone else finds an alternative) is by getting the computer to 'click' the buttons you would to manually install the software. I am going to test some more on spare computers to see if I can get any further, but as I say above Glowy might be quicker on the ball! Glowy, You might want to check the last script you posted - I think you left something in it you shouldn't have ??

Sangi, Ok, if it hangs after the Finish button is 'pressed', then the reason the code stops is that it is looking for a smaller dialogue box which prompts the user to restart. I have amended my code so that it waits for 5 seconds for that window to appear and then continues if the window does not appear. give it a go and see if it helps. If this doesn't do it let me know which components you are installing and which options you use in the user section. Thanks. Nero7.au3
