Is the /TASKS="imagefile_assoc" switch still working or is this task now standard for Micro/Lite? Same for /COMPONENTS. I assume this is switch not necessary for a full install of Micro, Audioplugins will be installed by default?

I don't think you can compare that. This guide is unique! It lets you create your own Nero Lite: a small sized Nero installer. With the AutoIT script you still need the full huge nero original installer. But Nero Lite/Nero Micro, the original ones, still have big benefits. Like the audiocodec thing. Nero messes around with your own default settings for playing audio/video. Thats 1 of the main reasons I have been using custom Nero since v6.0. And its also the reason I will stay with the original Micro (Lite is too big, and you can add Nerotools + Mausau plugins yourself... so I don't need Lite anymore, Coverdesigner would be nice but who cares). Compliments to RTK999. Good to see new people are now spending their time to create optimized installers and also take the time to share.

Yep you are right about infra.. too bad. Think i'll switch to nero micro. I suppose it has Nerotools and Nero Express? I'll only miss Coverdesigner & have to integrate Mausau plugins manually. EDIT: Switched to Nero Micro, unfortunately no NeroTools! Luckily they are freely and legally available for download: http://www.cdspeed2000.com/download.html And this the working link for InfoTool: http://www.nero.com/enu/downloads-infotools.html Unfortunately, I can't find all of Mausau's Plugins, not all of them are available on the official site: http://www.bitburners.com/nero-audio-plugins/ Does anyone have a link to the (recent versions of) RealMedia / RealAudio?

Ok well ofcourse I understand your 2nd point. The first one well duh, don't understand why Nero is growing massively. My whole WinXP+software etc isn't as big as nero full install. So I just tried unpacking Nero lite (innounp.exe) to get to the inno script file. Goal was modifying the script and recompiling. Unfortunately, innounp cannot unpack. Perhaps bevause you are using the newest version of Inno Setup (5.2.1) and the unpacker can handle only 5.1.1.0. But I was wondering if you are using encryption? Since then I won't be able to extract it when a new innounp.exe comes out (if that will happen in the near future..) btw, I now installed InfraRecorder (= Free & Nero-like interface!) , didn't burn anything yet, last time I tried (almost year ago) it still seemed a bit buggy. If nero lite takes to much time and InfraRecorder is OK I might stick with that... Just wanted everyone to know... there is a <5MB alternative wich might be as functional and easy-to-use as Nero Lite

Hey Acheron, I deleted my Nero lite recently, thought it was time to download a new version. I wish I didn't delete the file, since the newest Nero Lite is 50 MB ! I like Micro, just also want Mausau, Coverdesigner and Nero Express... can't believe that's a 50mb extra! How come the big difference? Not so Lite... OK it is very Lite compared to full Nero, but then it can grow to 300mb and you can still call it lite.

Can anyone please update Lite!? Acheron, have you ever tried Savefile.com? A year ago they became popular but started to have lots of server issues. Since their restart they are very good. It's a different filehost than most others, specially designed for project files (like NeroLite).

I don't even install Outlook I really don't like this bugging me... I've spent lots of time creating the ideal CD... now all I did was update it with a new RyanVM post-sp2 updatepack, drivers and software.. I dont have much time but I am planning to do some more research tomorrow.

huh, I am using Office+SP2! Like I said, I didn't change my Office installer (didn't update it either). Only my windows cd has been updated.

OK so I tested without formatconvertors. No change. My Office only consists of Word, Excel Powerpoint, Dutch (NL) version, with NL+ENG spellcheck. If I cancel the installation at first login (have to press cancel several times) I can start Word, Excel and Powerpoint without any problems... so they ARE installed. However when I start Excel, it wants to install something again, so I cancel it again. Excel works flawless. I think this issue should get its own topic since it's NOT Shrinker related, my Shrinked Office works perfectly on my CD from January 2007. Exactly the same Office, just a lot more updates for Windows and I install more apps.... So some application triggers Office to install some extra stuff...

Hi there, I wanted to let everyone who still has problems installing shrinked Office (at T13) know the following: When I install Office AFTER installing .Net Framework 2 + 3, I get an error (you can only click OK) and installation will fail (rollback). I looked up the error number and found out it was caused by some files/reg entries still in use by .Net Framework. This is extremely weird since I use VMCLEANER.exe (kills all tasks after installation) to speed up the whole process of installing Apps. Unfortunately I forgot the error number! So the solution is: Install Office FIRST! after Office you can install .Net Framework 2+ 3 @Lucius Snow, it seems I now have the exact same problem you have, Office tries to install at every first logon for any account! Ofcourse it fails since the installation files are not on the harddrive (they were only temporarily extracted for setup!). The only thing I can think of: FormatCOnverters.exe! I've added this to my office setup (enables you to open, edit and save office 2007 files). I'll test later without this.

Hi there, I've been using 3.47 with the Optimized installation method, but I wanted to switch to the newest 4.10. I tried the methods described in newer topics, but since 4.91+ or .10 you cannot install awxdtools silently, you'll get a Secure Mode warning. So I wondered, why should I change the old installation method? How to install Daemon Tools 4.10 (and higher) AND have Mount/Unmount option in the contextmenu of ISO/NRG etc.? This is how (it's an updated version of the first post): In RunOnceEx: [code]"%CDDRIVE%InstallApps\Daemontools\daemontools.exe /S" ""autoit3 "%CDDRIVE%\installApps\Daemontools\install-daemonscript.au3"" "%CDDRIVE%InstallApps\Daemontools\DaemonDriveInstall.DaemonScript" "rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 %CDDRIVE%InstallApps\Daemontools\DaemonTools.inf"[/code] So you will need Daemon Tools, and this tiny plugin called DaemonScript. There is no silent switch for the newest version so I've created an AutoIt script (see attachment) This is what happens: 1. You install both of them. 2. Then you will run a script that installs the virtual drive. 3. The .inf file does 2 things: (A) Adds shell info to the Windows Registry for the contextmenu. ( Removes Daemon Tools from Startup (so it won't startup when Windows start). THATS ALL! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How to create script: Create a new .txt file, rename the filename to "DaemonDriveInstall.DaemonScript", open the file, add this: [code]Version|1.6.0|2| DeviceCount|1|[/code] Close and save the file. How to create the inf file: Create a new .txt file, rename the filename to "DaemonTools.inf", open the file, add this: [code][Version] Signature=$CHICAGO$ [DefaultInstall] AddReg = Mount DelReg = Daemon [Mount] HKCR,".ISO",,,"ISO_Image" HKCR,".CUE",,,"ISO_Image" HKCR,".CCD",,,"ISO_Image" HKCR,".BIN",,,"ISO_Image" HKCR,".CDI",,,"ISO_Image" HKCR,".BWT",,,"ISO_Image" HKCR,".B5T",,,"ISO_Image" HKCR,".MDS",,,"ISO_Image" HKCR,".NRG",,,"ISO_Image" HKCR,".PDI",,,"ISO_Image" HKCR,"ISO_Image\Shell\Mount\Command",,,"%16422%\DAEMON Tools\daemon.exe -noicon -mount 0,%1" HKCR,"ISO_Image\Shell\Unmount\Command",,,%16422%\DAEMON Tools\daemon.exe -noicon -unmount 0 [Daemon] HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run","DAEMON Tools-1033"[/code] Good luck! You can add more image types to the inf file. Also you can create more Virtual cd/dvd drives by changing the number in the DaemonScript file. Oh and don't forget to delete the spyware, add this to you cleanup.cmd file: [code]del /F /Q "%programfiles%\DAEMON Tools\SetupDTSB.exe"[/code]

Good luck with that! I've been monitoring this topic.. I hope you're able to post an SDK. If I have some spare time to figure out how to create my own Lite version (i'll go for no waveeditor/antivirus/other languages and maybe more to approach 30 mb) I'll post a how to guide if you don't have the time for this. That should make this a self-sustaining project

Since this topic is about installing DT using AutoIT, I realized my guide doesn't belong here. Moved it to the topic about installing DT Optimized.

Hey Oleg_Sch! Nice to see you're promoting your module here! I gave info about it a while ago in the other 7z topic, especially because msistub and startx isn't needed anymore. Very nice! All my installers use your module, in the -? or -h part I have put a thankyou note to you (have to update them...)

If CCleaner (or another decent cleaner) finds GIGABYTES of removable data on your pc, it says more of your computerbehaviour than of the app itself and it totally isn't important wich app removes the most. You miss the functionality point of these apps.. you should be able to keep your pc a bit more clean... and use these apps as TOOL to support.

I will release an updated version this week.

uhm yes but if you go to that site it can be difficult to see wich one to download. The latest STABLE and recommended version of that Tryouts site, can be found here: www.x264.nl

kof94 what do you mean? If you simply use switches, what does that have to do with an installer? Are you talking about creating an installer? Simply let the original installer run with the switch.. done!

wowow waait why addd ImageDrive? I accidentally selected that (deselected it before voting)... cos it sounded like support to create images.. but it's more some kind of backup feature to backup folders of your harddrive (you cannot backup complete partitions...) Seems kinda useless since there are way better tools to create backups!

I would recommend BIGUPLOAD.com, they have a progressbar when you upload your files. And it's without lots of ads a la rapidshare. Will test this version, but hey, is it really worth to create new versions? If there is no changelog, then there won't be any new/updated functionality...

Thanks for the update! It still is a highly essential part of my Windows! I downloaded the WMLite, but when I wanted to check the .ini (wasnt sure if I already have the latest) your site went down!

Why would anyone still use this if you can use Nero Lite instead?

Hey Acheron, after reading your comments about the Roman Empire, I tried 5 alternative Free burning applications: - ImgBurn - InfraRecorder - Burn4Free - CDBurnerXPpro3 - Finalburner - BurnAtOnce Finalburner I removed it, its an OK application but you have to install their toolbar. BurnAtOnce is in my opinion perhaps the most robust cdburning app, even compared to Nero. But it doesn't have a nice interface, although it's workable, neither does it have many options for audiocds/movies. But the question was, will I switch from Nero Lite to any of these free burning apps? The answer is yes! InfraRecorder.. it has a clean interface like Nero Express. Also the 'Explorer'-like view is very good. And it has all the options you need.. It misses: no alternative for NeroTools, but hey CD-DVDspeed can be installed seperately. Also there is no Coverdesigner but you can create covers with Word as well. The installer is only 1.7 MB, thats 22x times smaller then the Nero installer. The good thing for Unattended Install: it's also downloadable as ZIP. This makes installing it unattendedly extremely easy since it only needs to be extracted. And still I stick with Nero Lite for a little while.. I think.. just because I am used to it. But I have Infra Express in my Start menu and I am sure I will use it more and more! Just a useful recommendation for others. In case they don't like parts in Nero Lite, there ARE alternatives.

I've created a new version of the previous Shockwave+Flash installer (see page2), easier for me to update. The installer will install: - Shockwave - Shockwave Extras - The Shockwave plugin for Firefox - The FLASH plugin for Firefox For Firefox, this is all you need. For Internet Explorer, the Flash plugin isn't included so it won't be updated. (Personally I removed the flash plugin from Windows dir (= the flash plugin for IE, standard already in Windows) cos I only use IE if I can't view a page in FF). It's clean, without Google toolbar or IE popup. It can be used as a One-Click Installer, Silent, or fully silent without progressbars. For details about these options, use the -h or -? switch. Can be installed at T13 (tested with RunOnceEx running at T13). It's on my Easy Installers site now Shockwave + Flash Installer.

What's wrong with the original installer?
