There is a problem with the scheduled tasks, i tried to set the job to run whether the user is logged in or not it won't start (General tab Security options / When running the task, user the following user account: .......) it only runs when the "Run only when user is logged on" option is enabled i gave up Found a different solution (renaming original shortcuts and executables and after a reboot a runonce key runs an install.cmd file and it does the rest, renames back everything ) thx for your help regards, roland

You're out of luck then. You need to get the administrative account and use task scheduler to make an event that way. Vista has very tight security controls for "unscheduled events'. thanks for your reply, i tried it, i scheduled as an administrator user but it runs only for that user. i have another idea, i get from registry the last logged on user data with a small vbs (DOMAIN\USERNAME) but the password of the current user is still missing, so it won't work anyway thx regards, roland

i have a little problem, pls help if you can. i make silent software installations and some of the softwares require a reboot. how can i pop-up a dialog box to the user to notify him/her to reboot the machine and schedule this task. i tried the following: i have a vbscript, when i run it manually everything is fine pops up a window and makes the thing i choose, but i can't schedule it because the deployment runs as local system account and local system account does not have rights to run interactively and i don't know the username/password for the actual machine. here's the PromptUser.vbs: Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") intMessage = Msgbox("A restart required due to Software installation! If you want to restart now choose YES if you plan later choose NO ", _ vbYesNo, "Reboot prompt for the User!") If intMessage = vbYes Then objShell.Run("shutdown -r -t 20") Else Wscript.Quit End If here's the schtasks command: c:\windows\system32\schtasks /create /tn PromptUserForReboot /tr "c:\Prompt\PromptUser.vbs" /sc MINUTE Thanks for your help regards, r

maybe DeploymentStatus.xml can answer some questions, later i'll look at it

i opened a ticket at nero 2 days ago, here is something that i found, the 4 installercategories: 2 nero9 3 moveit 4 mediahome4 5 backitup4 so the cat 2 is for the nero9 install

yes, you are right fgaifen, there are 4 types of InstallerCategory id, i tried to remove the toolbar settings in category id 2 and started the install, it crashed, so that's not a solution, i'll try to remove unit_app_75 folder from the install folders and post the results edit: tried to remove unit_app_75 and install really skips the toolbar feature.

hi allz, i found the SerialNumber section in the xml too and it didn't work with the trial serial number. does anyone know what InstallerCategory id="2" does? regards, r edit:misstyped the serial in setup.xml, it works with the trial
