if you have an exe or an msi from wise you can download a trial of wise for windows installer and open the installer with it. im almost sure that you can open a wise exe file. for msi there is no problem.

this program uses inno setup installer so you can use normal switches like /VERYSILENT /SP- /NORESTART thanks anyway for the effort of making a switchless installer. also it has no external dependencies so you can make an SFX out of it.

i hope that they migrate to msi installer soon for vista guidelines compliance and this way will be far better to mod the installer to suit everyone's needs.

what did you exactly re-download? the nero installer, the nero lite? thanks.

are your programs inside the $OEM$\install\Applications\ folder? this is the way it sould be done the way you are trying. also, you can try using runOnceEx.cmd way wich is explained in the unattended guide. just follow hte instructions and you can even run the installers from cd/dvd.

can you tell which setup it uses? can be Inno setup (/VERSYLENT /SP-), Nullsoft Install System (/S), Wise (/s) MSI (/qb /noretart) RAR SFX (/s) among other types but here are to common ones....search the forums also. maybe this program is already covered somwehere here.

not working the micro version posted by acheron with the .db file copied. maybe some files are missing. have you checked which file dependecies nero have? i think there is a program to see them but im not sure what the names is right now. also, some installer editor lile Wise Installation Studio has this ability. i have a copy at work. will see if i can check the full install of nero with it.

any insights of cmenu on windows vista? i just tried to install it and i got an error message windows that tells me that it "cannot copy file" to C:\Program Files..... also, is there another tool that lets me at least run exe and msi files with parameters in vista? EDIT: i just made execute with parameters dll that works in vista. i will post it on the members projects forum. if someone can fix the CMenu to work on vista would be great as i want mora than just run with parameters. thanks.

i dont remember exactly why is that happening but you can disable driver signing policy to see if it solves our problem. on the windows defender install you have to edit the msi to prevent the startup of the program once it gets intalled. look a few topics aboe yours, there are instructions on hwo to do this.

i like to do rar sfx instead of 7-zip. but there is a topic that includes a guide on how to make 7-zip sfx archives. just search for it. by the way, why dont you make some rar sfx to get you started meanhwile?

you have to install autoit in order to get any script compiled into an exe. then you can use the compiled exe along with your program to be able to launch it properly. just install autoit, righ-click your script and click on compile.

thats right. the newer files takes precedence always. so you actually cant install 9.0c above 10. as i said, maybe the installer is buggy and not really "vista compatible". i think if this is happening on all vista installations, maybe there is already some sort of support on ahead's.

i install the latest nero lite and the C:\Debug.txt bug is still present. but im not blaminh acheron, im just saying thats its weird. now the file has other info than the previous version did. by the way, i just uninstalled older nero lite, reboot, install the new one and run it. the debug file was created. will try it tomorrow on vista. this are the parameters i used /VERYSILENT /COMPONENTS="nero_core,nero_core\nero_express,nero_core\nero_express\express_help,nero_core\nero_audioplugins, nero_core\nero_videocd,nero_coverdes,nero_coverdes\coverdes_help"

are there any vista-related issues with this release? or everything is working nicely? thanks.

normally, therea two options to stop seeing icons in the systray. one is to close the procees of the program itself. the other is to use (if availabel) a "hide systray icon" option if the program supports it. if you mean to stop the process at any given time and silently you can use a command made for that called taskill.

as i said, i havent install it on vista yet. about the directx issue, maybe the installer is buggy and not really "vista compatible". maybe checking ahead's support will bring some insight into it.

thats weird. are you using the original installer from ahead? i have the latest version but i havent tried it on vista yet.

thanks. will try it tomorrow.

but why dont you run it from runonceex so it get installed right?

just a bunch of apps do usethe neroapi, including dvd shrink and others but its not important the neroapi use imho. wiating fot he new nerolite release.

you can monitor the registry changes for the options and disable the automatic update checking. for the guide im not sure. maybe it load some file at startup that you change for one of your own.

i havent tried on vista yet. i hope is well gone by now. but not sure.

i ran it without delays. im thinking of doing an msi install of nero to see if i can make an installer out of it while you work of the new lite version.

"corporate" is just an sfx archive that copies all winrar files along with a pirated key. to sushantvirdi: you can always install winrar, register ir, configure it the way you want and then make an sfx archive to install it silenlty. then, you will have your own "corporate" version.

you can always use the forum's search function. those programs are alrady posted here. for a quick start use firefox.exe -ms ie7.exe /silent /update-no /norestart if you are using winrar corporate chances are that it is a "warezed" version so you only have to runit without any switches. for vegas, first run the setup and wait for it to extract the files (usually C:\Program Files\Sony Setup) then grab those files and install it using the vegas.msi file with this switches /qb /norestart. to registert look in the registry (you can read the unattended guide for some basic topics).
