I'm also working on a new slipstream cd for Windows 98SE. By modifying the inf-structure I'm trying to upgrade Windows 98 Core Components. So far I have now replaced MDAC 2.1 by MDAC 2.8 completely. Next step will be replacing Internet Explorer 5 with Internet Explorer 6 + option to not install IE at all

Since I don't have a Labelflash or Lightscribe drive in my system I can't test these. When a Lightscribe or Labelflash drive is detected in Nero it should add an extra button in the Menu Bar. Mp3 skipping problem is still there? You're the first to report using 7.2.0.3b. Make sure you have mp3Pro.dll properly installed (version 2.0.5.2). You could try to revert to mp3Pro.dll version 2.0.4.7 and see if the problem disappears. I'll look into the toolbar settings problem.

as well as installs nero with the desired modules, but every time in english language just executing installs fine in germanby the way: even if nero is installed without this virusscanner-component, the installer creates a lot of these DRWxxxxx.VDB & DRWxxxxx.TXT files Hi your problems are caused since you specified components silently. Currently it's not possible to fine-tune unattended setup options. If you don't want Anti-Virus installed you should not select nero_core by itself try this Nero-7.2.0.3b_deu_lite.exe /VERYSILENT /COMPONENTS="nero_core\nero_videocd,nero_toolkit\nero_infotool,nero_coverdes" Hmm, some bug into the LAnguage select system. I see default language is not selected if you don't specify to install Nero Burning Rom Help or Nero Burning Rom Express Help. I'll try to fix it for next build. Here is the workaround. Nero-7.2.0.3b_deu_lite.exe /VERYSILENT /COMPONENTS="nero_core\nero_videocd,nero_toolkit\nero_infotool,nero_coverdes,nero_lang\german"

I have installed Windows 98 on two partitions. One is a reference installation. If I need it to work I use a modified boot-up diskette to start it. For the rest I'm using VMWare to test Windows 98 Setup.

Microsoft has set up a big fench to climb for Windows 98 users by creating Windows Installer 3.0 that links directly to the NT-kernel. I know some day the Kernel Update project will support Windows Installer 3.0 on Windows 98. For now if you need to use Windows Installer 3.0 based applications installations on Windows 98 you have to use a Windows Installer extractor in some way.

Well, if shell32.dll is indeed based on some NT version it should be possible to create a patch for it, comparing the changes Microsoft made between patched and unpatched dll on example Windows 2000. Reverse engineering is necessary but I think it should not be a big deal, since only changes applied would be to make things more compatible and secure. Look at the Unofficial patches already created, like KB891711 for example. It's possible. Furthermore this security Flaw is very dangerous since it affects all Windows OS. I think Microsoft won't bring out a patch for Windows 98 is that they don't have to create support for this new update.

By Disabling this NetBios is it still possible to connect to other computers/networks in a lan?

I've downloaded your micro version, now where can I update it with this patch for Multi-Session burning? I ment revision in stead of patch. Was a bit late last night. You should be fine now using the Micro pack. When you rightclick the file in Windows Explorer you can find the File version of the Setup. The revision system works as follows: 1.x.y.z x = New version of Nero 7 y = Major rewrite of Nero installer z = Minor update to Nero installer

As I told you. See http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/17/ for information. It is pretty basic.

Hi Zephiris, can you test for me if removing ISOFS.dll from Nero directory brings up the problem. I looked through the installer code and found it under Nero API support. Can't remember why I put it there That actually seems to be the reason. I removed the .dll in the lite installtion and there was the same problem I already had with the micro version. Then I switched the versions again and added the .dll to Nero Micro and it works fine. Btw, do I get the audio plugins for burning .ogg etc. when I use the micro version? Its rather difficult to tell when you read "only audio / video support" So only basic Audio support. Default Nero doesn't support Ogg, or does it. Basic Audio is AAC, AIFF, Audible, MP3, WMA and WAVE support. UPDATE: Nero 7.2.0.3b rev. 1.1.0.3 [Only Micropack is UPDATED] - Added IsoFS.dll to Nero 7 Micro. Nero 7 Lite has the same problem. Please select Nero API for install for now. - Registration of Nero dll files now handled by InnoSetup. Added workaround in 7.0.8.2, because Setup locked sometimes. However in Nero 7.2.0.3 this issue seems to be solved. If anyone has trouble with it please report. If all ok, I'll update Nero 7 Lite version also. Major advantage of this is that you can install Nero in other than default directory without problems.

Thnx for the logo. I've added it to the temporal website and it might be useful for my new website that's currently under development. You can save this as a .reg file. You can use a batch file to run several commands during installation. You simple run regedit /s "path to regfile" after Nero 7 installation. For mor on this you can use the guide on http://unattended.msfn.org

AFAIK Nero's UltraBuffer functionality is there UPDATE: 05/31/06 New localizations available: Chinese (Traditional) by xdriftdoll Slovak by joeyeti Thank you for your translations Nero 7 Lite is now available in 15 languages. Translation of Nero 7 Lite is now only left for: Chinese (Simplified) Czech Danish Finnish Greek Japanese Korean Slovenian

Problem is acknowledged. It's because of missing CoverEdCtrl.ocx. UPDATE: Nero 7 Lite v7.2.0.3b rev 1.0.2 April 30th 2006 +Added CoverEdCtrl.ocx (Labelflash support) UPDATE: Swedish build of Nero 7 Lite added! hi, the CoverEdCtrl.ocx doesn't get registered if you don't use the default installation directory. In fact there are many missing file errors when you try to use any non-default install directory, because the InnoSetup piles a few files into the default regardless of the user's preference. To get the Disc T@2 working I just copied the CoverEdCtrl.ocx file into my Nero 7 dir and did regsvr CoverEdCtrl.ocx and now it works fine. Thanks for noticing. The problem is acknowledged. The problem lies in when I try to register dll files from within InnoSetup. Sometimes the progress hangs. So I took it out and added manual regsvr32 commands. I haven't tested this on Nero 7.2.0.3b yet. If registering works fine with newer dlls I'll remove the workaround.

I'm already trying to modularize Windows 98SE updates, so that they can get merged into the original Windows 98SE CD. You then can select components on install. I found on this forum link to someone who set up a project. Altough unfinished it's pretty documented and contains lots of info about Windows 9x setup: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=53927 About Internet Explorer: Don't put any energy trieing to make IE4.0 work. It's pretty old and doesn't support much websites. I think we should go for IE 6.0. It's the latest and most compatible browser. There is a work-around for the freezing Windows problem also posted on MSFN. About Iexpress usage. Go for the latest. It's most compatibel with inf-scripts. In latest versions support is added to select on which platform to install (32-bit or 64-bit). Makecab in Windows XP touches date/time of compressed files. You should replace it with makecab.exe from the Cabinet SDK: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=310618 Skinning support is not a good idea. I already get many questions about the Windows ME icons in current Dutch Service Pack. I remove them from next release.

Ok, I have decided: No need to add Nero CoverDesigner or Nero Toolkit to Micro pack. Lite edition will do for those people. I won't remove basic audio/s-videocd support. Without this you won't have a multimedia burning application anymore. Note this doesn't include MauSau audio plugins. Removing 9x-support hardly saves 300KB on the installer, not very interesting. Uploaded the build: http://hp38guser.djsleepy.co.uk/nerolite/N....0.3b_micro.exe (15.5 MB) P.S. No localized versions of the Micro build.

Is their any interest in a special Nero 7 Micro edition? Setup containing just: - Nero Burning Rom / Express - Nero Audio Plugins - (S)VideoCD support Installer Size can get reduced to 15.5 MB, instead of 40.1 MB of the full Nero Lite installer.

I have moved host to a new location. Enjoy downloading: http://hp38guser.djsleepy.co.uk/nerolite Thank you DJ Sleepy for assistance and great service

Well the WISE package problem seems to be solved with v1.2.1 of Universal Extractor. About Exe decompressors. It might be political, but I just want control over my system. Some software what tries to hide itself from the system by compressing itself is not what should happen. Also if you want to rip some bitmaps or icons from such a package it may become handy. I'm not talking about decrypting.

Hi, I'm using Universal Extractor for some time now. It works quite good, except for WISE installshield installation packages. Most of time the extract window just hangs. EDIT: I found out you are using version 1.03b of i6comp to decompress InstallShield packages dated Jan-10-2002. However when reading release info of i6comp 1.03b: (InstallShield v6.x Compression and Maintenance util) -] Morlac - Jul-20-2000 [- General exception bugfix -] DarkSoul - Jan-10-2002 [- Morlac is main developer, however somone else patched this version with a single bugfix. No program improvements in 1.03b Now the hanging issue. I did not experience this issue with i6comp v0.20 I use on my system. It is able to decompress nearly all InstallShield packages available. When reading the release info of i6comp v0.20: (InstallShield v6.x CAB Util) -] fOSSiL - Jun-16-2000 [- -] Morlac - Dec-27-2000 [- A new revision of i6comp. Look also at the changelog: 1. INTRODUCTION --------------- Under pressure from friends I am updating i5comp, giving birth to i6comp in the process. This is the second attempt - I'll try to keep it short. Changes from i5comp (READ IT ALL): ---------------------- IMPORTANT------------------------------ Read Changes.txt as well. It contains more information as well. You will miss some of the features if you dont. 1) No more ZDxxx.DLL - compression/decompression (deflate) routines are statically linked in. 2) No need to Convert to Single-Volume for any operations (see P.3) 3) All IShield engine files are now stuck into data1.cab, so convertion to single-volume cabinet has been changed. Conversion leaves data1.cab intact and gathers everything else into data2.cab. Data1.cab contains all installation and uninstallation files and is used by Uninstaller, and data2.cab contains all 'user' files. 4) Add command will now replace the files with the same name and path within the cabinet (i5comp would add them and create duplicates no matter what). 5) IShield Corp. screwed me over again by using '<' and '>' characters in the kernel File Group names. These characters will be mapped to '[' and ']' respectivly when File Group name is used in filesys paths. 6) Some uncompressed and 'uncabineted' files will also appear in listings. I filtered some of them out, but haven't found a good way to get rid of the rest of them yet. 7) Code can be ported to any Intel *ix with minimal modifications I would like to also be able to extract compressed exe-types like: - UPX - Aspack (look for AsPackDie 1.4.1) As InnoSetup developer tells:

I thought code-signing only worked when compiling a project. Didn't know you could atach digital signatures afterwards. Well if this is true I'll go for solution two

You want a special micro build? No audio-plugins etc? Would you still pay Eur.60 to use only the burn application? I don't know. You might be better of with a freeware burning application like ImgBurn However if their is interest I can build a special version. Just tell me which components you would like to have kept. Note Micro version will not get under 25MB, so you only save 15MB on your CD. It seems that the server is unavailable again. I hope it's only temporary.

Update: May 03 2006 New languages available! - Spanish, thanks to poweroftorch and - Italian, thanks to mrshark The following languages are still available for Nero Lite translation: Chinese (Simplified) Chinese (Traditional) Czech Danish Finnish Greek Japanese Korean Slovak Slovenian Hmm, got no response since I last posted here

u cant extract it yourself...... No, I can't. I tried it but it doesnt work. I'm going to help him for to create the spanish version but I dont understand why hp38guser dont want post the inno source file. It would be great or maybe he cant teach us how to do it. See ya!! Hi DryKillLogic, I sent you a Personal Message yesterday. Might be you disabled PM notifications on MSFN. However Poweroftorch already offered to help with Spanish translation. About Inno Source file. If you are clever enough you can use Universal Extractor to extract the InnoSetup package, including Setup Source file. Everything is really straight forward. You can even modify these scripts for whatever reason as long as you don't publish these modifications as Nero Lite. I don't support customized builds.

Problem is acknowledged. It's because of missing CoverEdCtrl.ocx. UPDATE: Nero 7 Lite v7.2.0.3b rev 1.0.2 April 30th 2006 +Added CoverEdCtrl.ocx (Labelflash support) UPDATE: Swedish build of Nero 7 Lite added!
