@zecompadre Please extract all contents from NCAB.rar again. You probably got that message because you ran NCAB.exe once already, and now you are trying to run it again. I apologize for that error message, I should of been a little clearer.

New Version 1.4 Nero+NVE Builder. This latest version addresses the new name change in setupx.exe and setupx.cfg (Nero-6.6.0.12.exe and NVE-3.1.0.0d.exe) Therefore, my latest Nero+NVE Builder will no longer be backward compatible with older Nero or NVE versions. Remove two new file associations MMV and MOD. Remove specialoffer.exe Other minor changes in Nero CleanUp section. In addition, I figure some people might not want to include NeroVision Express in their setup, so I made a few tweaks to my script and now you can use my Nero Custom Applications Builder exclusively for Nero Burning ROM. View my signature for the link.

@yandman Hi yandman, and welcome to MSFN. I believe your 7-zip error is due to an older 7-zip version, specifically v3.13. I've only tested it so far with the latest 4.xx beta versions. They use differnt switches. Please download the latest beta versions. That should cure your 7-zip problem. But I would suggest you hold off a little-bit, as I'm currently updating my script to work with the lastest Nero and NVE versions. It should be ready later tonight. As a special treat, I'm also making one specifically for Nero only.

I use an English version of Windows XP, so I was unaware of that. But had I made my output directory differently, there would still be other issues affecting non-English versions, specifically my cleanup script. I don't think I want to go there, I wouldn't know where to begin if I had to account for all the different default paths and filenames of other languages. Also, earlier in my guide I had mentioned for English only, but then I changed it to Nero English. I guess I have to change it back to Windows XP English Editions ONLY. As for the language packs, I don't think I will add that either, simply cause I don't use it and I don't have the answers for you if something goes wrong. Sorry. If language pack integration is something you really want, you can check out eagle00789 post in this thread on how to do that. The reason why I made Windows XP a requirement is because most of my testing/work was done on an XP English machine and the reg command, that I used throughout most of my script, is only supported natively on XP/2003. Yes the builder itself will work for other WinOS, but because of the potential reg situation, I decided to put a version check in my script to bounce out any non-XP running machine. I hope you understand. As Methanoid said, I think it would be better if you temporarily disabled your modified "ver", then rerun my script, than for me to change my script which would effect the majority of general users.

just tested it with v2.40 and it works. actually i should of said zero-byte those files. fppgraf2-NT.dll fppint2-NT.dll FPPR216.DLL

@hammermtl Those Nero files that u have is using an older naming convention. You probabaly want to download the latest versions anyway. But if you can't, simply rename nero6.6.0.0.exe to nero-6.6.0.0.exe and NVE3.0.0.12b_update.exe to NVE-3.0.0.12b_update.exe and it should work.

Instead of using autoit, you can extract the setup file, remove a couple of non-essential files, and reduce your setup size by 1.2MB. Here's what u should do, extract FppPro240.exe with Winrar, delete these two files if you're using Windows XP fppgraf2-NT.dll fppint2-NT.dll Use Winrar or 7-zip to repackage your setup files. for WinRAR Setup=setup.exe /SILENT TempMode Silent=1 Reg key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\FinePrint Software\pdfFactory2] "RegName"="" "RegNum"="XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FinePrint Software\pdfFactory2] "LoadDispatcher"=dword:00000000 "RegName"="" "RegNum"="XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" I have not tested with the latest version, but it worked for me on v2.35. Good luck!

Thanks jdoe. though, it took me awhile to figure out the correct syntax.

minor update version 1.32 users with slower machines can now turn off 7-Zip ultra compression setting.

ok, i've added a longer delay. try it now.

It should be StartX.exe. I know it would be alot easier for everyone if I just included the StartX.exe in my package, but then my attachment will exceed the max 150 KB . Also my script relies on the exact filenames (not Package 1 or 2 though), just the other files. So please don't change the filesnames. If those suggestions don't work, perhaps I need a longer delay. How fast is your computer btw?

Another update. It gets easier with each new version. Practically two steps and your done. 1) edit file to replace /sn=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx ... with your own. 2) run Nero+NVE_Builder.exe and in a few minutes you'll have a fully customize 7-Zip Nero+NVE self-extracting registered installer.

Is there a simple way to evaluate IF some filename is 0-byte or NOT? I want to use that as a test condition in a cmd batch file. after reading this http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=13219 i think i got it. for /f "tokens=4" %%i IN ('dir /-c file.ext ^| find /i "file.ext"') do set z=%%i if not '%z%'=='0' goto NotZero if '%z%'=='0' goto Zero

Use a registry tracer program like RegSnap, InCTRL, Advance Registry Tracer, etc. Registry Mechanic requires more than just hint: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Licenses] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{A40F8BBE-77CD-78A3-DF6D-3C14B7105899}] note: {A40F8BBE-77CD-78A3-DF6D-3C14B7105899} maybe different in your case. I believe it gets randomly generated. Again, use a registry tracing program.

NEW VERSION Updated ! Requested Features added. @Methanoid I'm not sure, I could send you a quick shrinker for NVE for you to test. I'll do some more testing later.

Restoring the default file association is your choice. You could leave them blank like Se7eNdUsT suggested. It is difficult script-wise to restore them to what you had earlier, because Nero changed the defaults. If you want to keep your file-associations, this page http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=31407 may help. In the meantime for your Unattended CD, you can keep your file associations for WMP Classic, WinAMP, or any other Photo Editor/Viewer, Audio/Video/Media player so long as you install them after Nero+NVE.

@Alex_N No mistakes that I can see, but I don't think you can use a variable with InstallShield switches. Maybe, you could try adding another \ , like this REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%APPS%\3DMark_2003\3DM03.exe -s -f1\"%APPS%\\setup.iss\" -f2\"%LOGS%\\3DM03.log\"" /f and see if that helps any. Otherwise, I would just use an absolute path to the root directory, and then have a cleanup script delete or move those files afterwards. I just think InstallShield applications are overly complicated and really annoying for unattended installs.

and you'll need another set of quotes around /qn iexplorer=1 you probably want your code to look something like this REG ADD %KEY%\051 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\j2re-1_4_2_07-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v\"/qn IEXPLORER=1 REBOOT=ReallySuppress\"" /f I don't want to hijack this thread, but a quick question -- has anyone tried removing the Java_path\lib\zi directory and had no adverse effects. I'm looking at that (zi) directory and it contains numerious small files relating to country information and zone information. I don't plan on visiting non-English sites, so I'm not sure if I need to keep that directory. I just want to know, cause I hate keeping non-essential files. Thanks.

You can't called that variable at that T13 stage (cmdlines.txt) because the environmental variables doesn't exist yet, you haven't establish your userprofile. You can run it from the GuiRunOnce in winnt.sif

It should. By using StartX.exe in combination with the /wait, you are forcing it to complete the script (run.cmd) before it continues to your next command in your batch file.

ZileXa I just mentioned your method a couple of post back. Not true. If you want full functionality and plug-in capabilities, Nero needs to go thru the normal setup process, because it does make a lot of relevant registry changes. It's the best method currently that will bypass Nero's encrypted setup routine. If we could edit the setup.cfg, we won't need 0-byte files. My scripts are not tied to any particular Nero or NeroVision versions.The foundation has been established, therefore future versions may require only slight modifications to maintain optimum compression, but the existing scripts should still function correctly.

Well first of all, my guide is pretty much completed. I've stated its purpose and I've laid out the instructions as straight-forward as I could. I don't hear too many people complaining about my guide or my scripts, so I'm assuming it's working for them and there's no bugs. Felix is working on his own variant which I wish him luck. But other than that, you have a choice right now -- a completed guide or a work-in-progress. Felix, if you have any questions PM me.
