Oh yes it has been posted many times but i had not seen it before. For that i thank you

Try for firefox: firefox Setup.exe -SetDefaultBrowser Itmay work

If you mean its rebooting try /norestart Alternatively us quicktime alternative much better than the overbloated installer you are using currently my 2 pince worth have a nice day!

IF EXISTS "%SystemDrive%\Program Files\Firefox\firefox.exe" goto EXIT EXIT or something like that

Are you using the "eng" installer or another language specific or the multi-language installer ?

Try adding to the command line LCID="0409" That sould force enlish language (hopefully)

Yeah sure You can choose the transform file (.mst) for your language, Like so: Nero.msi TRANSFORMS="1033.mst" Please note: that the 1033.mst file is for english language, you must enter the mst transform filename that is tor YOUR language and it must be in the root of your archive.

OK, Problem solved ! After testing your commands i found your Your ADDLOCAL parameters were missing one vital component NeroSuiteInstallerDD1EB5BC it seems this component is required So it should look like this: ADDLOCAL="NeroSuiteInstallerDD1EB5BC,NeroBurningRomBCAFF604,NeroCoverDesigner7CE8D626,NeroImageDriveE38B9E06" This has been tested and is working 100%

Have you tried it on a differnt machine ? does the original installer install using your silent switches ?

The only other thing it may be is that you extracted the original archive with winrar, So instead of using winrar just double click on the original installer and wait till extracted to temp directory and then copy the files over and recreate the silent installer. It may or may not work but that seems the only thing that you have done differently to me. EDIT: I just tried it by extracting with winrar and double clicking setupx.exe and i got was a few files/folders in the temp directory, Did'nt you think this was a bit odd ? If you follow my way i descibed above you should have a rarsfx folder in the temp folder use the contents of that folder to re-create the new installer using your switches.

okay looks like it may be the ADDLOCAL parameter's they should be surronded in "quotes" like so: ADDLOCAL="NeroBurningRomBCAFF604,NeroCoverDesigner7CE8D626,NeroImageDriveE38B9E06"

Did you use the files extracted by starting the original installer then copying the extracted files from the temp folder to create the new installer ? Have you removed/edited any files/folders ? Are you istalling via setupx.exe or nero.msi ? And Which switches are you using to install ?

I'm guessing that you get this error when installing nero, Right ? And i'm also guesing that you already have a copy of nero already installed ? I would suggest uninstalling any previous installations of nero products and then use their clean tools found here: http://www.nero.com/nero7/eng/Clean_Tools.html To clean up the registry and any other files/folders left behind by the unistall process to ensure a clean install. I hope that helps

Not quite sure what you mean by "a shell manager error" ? Really need more information so we can help you mate

Ideally you should run an install "snapshot" on a clean insall to get best results having said that it may stil work ok. Anyway a great FREE progamm, Highly recommended!

Either you have a previous install or your command line is incorrect

I find this command gets rid of nero scout: regsvr32 /u /s "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ahead\Lib\MediaLibraryNSE.dll"

I've alsi found a command parameter ADDLOCAL="" that will allow you to select which components are installed if using my method as descrived above. usage: ADDLOCAL=NeroProductSetup7850B4D2,NeroSuiteInstallerDD1EB5BC,NeroStartSmartB035464E,NeroBurningRomBC AFF604,NeroRecode6035F00C,NeroBackItUpCB9D5429,NeroCoverDesigner7CE8D626,NeroBurnRights72CC518F,Nero ImageDriveE38B9E06,NeroInfoToolE72D824A You can add or remove components as you wish and should be seperated by a comma, and the values surrounded by "quotes" More values can be found by opening the nero.msi in a msi viewer like orca under the "feature" So now my arcive comment looks something like this: ;The comment below contains SFX script commands Setup=nero.msi /QB /NORESTART STARTPARAM="CallFromExe" DONOTRUNSETUPX="1" SERIALNUM_USERVAL="xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-" AGREETOLICENSE="TRUE" ADDLOCAL=NeroSuiteInstallerDD1EB5BC,NeroBurningRomBCAFF604,NeroRecode6035F00C,NeroInfoToolE72D824A,N eroDriveSpeed7DFFCC12,NeroCDDVDSpeed82602EE0 TempMode Silent=1 Overwrite=1 so only nero burning rom, nero recode and the nero toolkit will be installed in the above examole I hope that helps as well

I've managed to get nero 7.2.7.0 to insstall without rebooting BUT running the nero.msi to install cause's the install to ignore the conf.txt file so it is not a custom install as such but it does install with default components and does not reboot. Here's what i did: 1. Unistalled Nero if already installed and rebooted 2. Run the standard installer without any parameters and waited until extracrted and first welcome screen appears 3. Then go to temp folder where files were extracted to and copy them to anoter folder on your hard drive 4. Then cancel out of the install wizard 5. Go to the folder where you copied the extracted files (at this point you can try to modify the conf.txt file but in my case it had no affect on installed components other than default - let me know if it works for you) and select all the files and folders and create a SFX archive with winrar using the following comment: ;The comment below contains SFX script commands Setup=nero.msi /QB /NORESTART STARTPARAM="CallFromExe" DONOTRUNSETUPX="1" SERIALNUM_USERVAL="your-seria-num-berh-ere!" AGREETOLICENSE="TRUE" TempMode Silent=1 Overwrite=1 6. That's it ! You should now have a fully contained silent installer which needs no external switches to install silently P.S. As i said above this will only install the default components without the reboot for some reason it doesnt matter if the conf.txt file is modified or not or maybe you might have more succes than me let us know if you do. I hope that is explained clearly for you let me know how it goes it you try it. ironside

That seems to allow the nero.msi file to run without whining about setupx.exe but now i get file missing errors

In that case why dont i have a "Google" folder in "program files" after i've installed flashget ? Oh!, You don't half make it complicated for yourselves, When it could be so easy! Have fun!

Like you said google toolbar must still be istalled even after unistalling flashget or is installed with another program perhaps The flashget with the google toolbar had an seperate entry in add/remove programs sou you could uninstall it without uninstalling flashget so i presume if it has not got a seperate entry entry in add.remove then your problem must be elsewhere

There's probably no way to disable it all together but you could set up your own anti-virus program to scan files or use shark's Winows live Safety Scanner silent installer found here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=81632

@andyle2k -> You can't run nero.msi directly, The installer only runs from setupx.exe only @floppy -> The latest 7.2.7.0 build does put nero scout on the toolbar by defoult now anyway
