I already found the Nero9 ProductInstaller Command Line Description. This will work for me. Thanks for your help! :-) By the way, I tried both dropping the table directly in the MSI and using a transform.

Hm, that's what I tried: I modified the MSI using a Transform and I had to change some more things to make it work. In table properties: PDD_LANG_CHS = False PDD_LANG_CHT = False etc. .... I had to set all languages other than German and English to false. Otherwise I got an error message which said that some language files are missing. Another thing I had to change was in table CustomAction. I deleted the row AudibleAAInstall because this action caused an error during 'Installation finalize' which leaded to rollback. Actually I don't really know if this will have any effect on the applications behaviour. Maybe someone knows the function of SMC_AReadyLB_Nero.dll? So finally the installation completed successfully and I copied and registered the 3 DLLs (BCGPOleAcc.dll, NeroAPI.dll, AdvrCntr4.dll) mentioned above and imported the registry key containing the serial number. But when I double-click nero.exe nothing happens. The application doesn't start and there is no message popping up. Could that have something to do with the CA I deleted? After being unsuccessful using the NAR tool to get this **** setup silent I was very hopeful this method would lead to success.

Hi COOLCOMPUTERGUY, that is exactly what I was looking for all the time. I'm gonna try this out. Hope it will do the trick. Thanks so far.

@Shadow Thank you for this interesting tool. I tested some earlier versions but they didn't work for me. The latest Beta seemed to work fine regarding the processes in task manager during installation. I could see that there was a new folder in program files which has been gone after installation. So there might have been a rollback during installation progress. Maybe you can see something in this log file?
