There are easier ways. If you want to see what is happening, simply use hidden DOS commands with cWnd/cmdow... REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /v UnlockerAssistant /t REG_SZ /d \"%ProgramFiles%\Unlocker\UnlockerAssistant.exe\"" -H" /F ...or AutoIt... RegWrite ( "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "UnlockerAssistant", "REG_SZ", '"' & @ProgramFilesDir & '\Unlocker\UnlockerAssistant.exe" -H' )

@Yadzil - This is not an easy problem to solve because there are so many aspects that need to be looked at. I really do hope you don't get this right after an unattended installation, otherwise you are in real trouble finding what is causing this message. Please look through the installation-FAQ… and if that is not helping, you should try Nero CleanTool. After a quick search on other forums there can be troubles with ASPI-layers and certain configurations, but that one is really rare. Otherwise I'm clueless…

You don't have to specify any path when using this script. Leave these settings blank as it will use the standard directory for your programs anyway. These settings are for more experienced users who want to install in/from a different location and they have to be fixed as it seems it will not work when adding macros like @ProgramFilesDir.

@SuperDuy – I have already answered your question, please look here. I have worked further with the script for you users to test... Changelog: 2.2 * Added: Major internal changes and revamped install routine * Added: Optional fixed location for already extracted files * Added: Option to delete extracted and temporary files after successful install * Added: Optional restart procedure and internal support for 'GUIRun' The big change is that the installer now tries to install anyway, even if file rename operations are pending and the extracted content can be reused after restart. Please read the FAQ regarding the installation over at NeroAG site if you still have issues. Script is found in my signature

Maybe I can implement this… It’s extracted to the environment variable %TEMP% together with generated folder NERO*Thanks again ricktendo64, that’s exactly what the script is intended to do. Maybe we all can conclude that this script doesn’t work @t-12 or @t-13?

Really strange , it's working here...look at line 118 regarding the RunOnce sequence. I'm using commands other working scripts are using, simple @AutoItExe to specify where the script is located even if it's compiled or not. Does this script work for anyone?

Simply use hidden DOS commands with cWnd/cmdow or AutoIt... echo [Serial]>>setting.ini echo Serial=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX>>setting.ini AutoIt3.exe /AutoIt3ExecuteLine "IniWrite ( 'C:\setting.ini', 'Serial', 'Serial', 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' )"

Good suggestion Sanjay! Implemented into 2.12

Finally the AutoIt script is updated to match the current release... Changelog: 2.1 * ReAdded: Support for 'Ask Toolbar' * Added: Suppress restart dialog box * Added: Option to install through 'RunOnce' if file rename operations are pending * Added: Several error checking improvements * Updated: String values and comments to be more user-friendly * Fixed: 'Template Packages' string management * Fixed: Search for Nero 8 Help File Package EDIT: Updated script again... 2.11 Minor internal changes regarding reboot prompt issues in any language. Please test and report back your results. Script is found in my signature

@crawf I'm aware of this issue, just waited for someone to mention it. You get this error because you search for additional Template Packages and the script doesn't find any. Replace this line RunWait ( @ScriptDir & "\" & $TF & " /S" )with If Not $TF = 0 Then RunWait ( @ScriptDir & "\" & $TF & " /S" )to get it working with whatever settings you use in the script. @yadzil & Gorki You're not alone, I hope someone can solve this problem too.

Thanks ricktendo64 for the pointers for our new users out there. Keep in mind that this script is still a work in progress and I only recommend experienced users to try this new script. There are probably a few bugs in there that needs to be fixed. This script may work on the upgrade and paid download version, thats why I need feedback. Nero demo, trial and full are all same versions, just depends on your key. Don't forget to read through the top of the script and make the changes you want within.

I have been working on the updated AutoIt-script for Nero 8.1.1.0 and I have uploaded a testrelease to the AutoIt section. I really can't do extended testing myself because my real system is down at the moment (motherboard on RMA) Please give feedback as what to fix/implement in this release. Features: - Support for Multilanguage distributions - Exclude components as you wish - Option to specify a custom installation path - Automatic search and install of the trial distribution (Nero-8*.exe) - Optional install of Help File Package (Nero8_chm_*.exe) - Optional install of Template Packages for Nero Vision 5 (Templates_*.exe) - Ability to activate additional Plug-ins - Optionally disable 'Nero Scout', 'Patent Activation' and 'Media Indexing Services' - Update DirectX if necessary - Several customized settings to choose from The Help File Package is not available yet. Please make your own pack until NeroAG releases it (if they ever do) Script is found in my signature

Please use the original trial version. I’m surprised to see that the upgrade version gets installed even if you don’t have any previous version. If you read the settings more closely you see that you have to set this value to true (1).$ECD = 1; Prevent the CD/DVD from ejecting after burning is complete

There’s always a way with AutoIt… I believe all those files are related to Nero Home. Do they start even if you don’t install Nero Home? Add these lines at the end of the script to delete them and they will hopefully never appear again. ; Remove Nero Home related files FileDelete ( @CommonFilesDir & "\Ahead\Lib\NMBgMonitor.exe" ) FileDelete ( @CommonFilesDir & "\Ahead\Lib\NMIndexingService.exe" ) FileDelete ( @CommonFilesDir & "\Ahead\Lib\NMIndexStoreSvr.exe" ) I don’t know if this is recommended for the regular user yet but if there is a demand for this feature I’ll add this one.

Thanks twaydb for finding this bug! I never thought anyone was using this type of distribution. Script now automatically removes The Weather Channel Desktop installer to prevent execution. Updated script is found in my signature.

I'm using the Zalman VF900-CU with my Sapphire X1950XT card and everything is so much cooler and quieter now.B) It really is a powerful cooler and real enthusiasts are using this one. The only modification I did was to switch the socket from the original cooler so that the fan control can be managed by the card itself because my board doesn’t have PWM support. ATI Tray Tools is taking care of the fan speed control and over clocking capabilities; the use of CCC is now obsolete. In my case the fan speed can be set to half and then be forgotten because of the efficiency of the airflow. Nothing has made me more pleased, now that I have a silent and powerful system propped with silent Nexus fans to play with.

I found a way of installing SFX packs when using a custom installation path and added a few more requested tweaks. Changelog: 1.5 * Added: Optional install of Template Package for Nero Vision 4 (NV4content.exe) * Added: Special treatment of SFX packs when using a custom installation path * Added: Ability to activate additional Plug-ins * Added: Option to set Advanced Mode in StartSmart * Added: Option to run BurnRights to allow all users logged on locally to burn media * Added: Option to change number of days before Nero checks for updates I believe this script is getting as complete as it can be and the real work is now to get this updated for future versions, don’t you all agree? Script is found in my signature.

Thanks Schmitty! You really are a source of ideas. Template Package for Nero Vision 4 (NV4Content.exe) and multiple serial numbers to activate plugins are now on my to-do list. BTW, it’s a real shame that Nero 7 Helpfile Pack and Template Package for Nero Vision 4 extraction path is hardcoded in the SFX. If there is a way to extract to a custom dir, please let me know.

Updated script to version 1.4 Changelog: * Updated: Support for different version of 'Nero Burning ROM 7.10.1.0' featuring (The Weather Channel Desktop) * Updated: Only update DirectX if necessary * Added: Option to define a custom installation directory * Added: Clean up temporary files before installation starts * Added: Exit script if Nero is already installed * Added: Option to Delete Nero ProductSetup shortcut * Added: Option to Delete Nero Online Upgrade Offering shortcuts * Added: Option to Reset File Associations created by Nero ShowTime * Removed: Obsolete component (Fast CD-DVD Burning Plug-In for WMP) Script is found in my signature

@ricktendo64 – Yes, I'm aware of this issue. It seems that install directory can't be the same again. Nero 7.9.6.0 extracted files differently than the current release. I'll have to make some sort of temp-delete function before the installation starts to prevent this from happening in the future. @IT Troll - I'm glad to hear that uninstalls are working for you. Suggestion: you can use single line code to do the same. If FileExists ( @WindowsDir & "\UNNeroBurnRights.exe" ) Then RunWait ( @WindowsDir & "\UNNeroBurnRights.exe" & " /UNINSTALL /SILENT /NO_UI /NOREBOOT" ) I'm currently on vacation and won't be back anytime soon, but please post suggestions or PM me regarding this script to make it even better.

@IT Troll – Welcome to MSFN. I'm not sure if uninstallation can be done that easily without reboot. One time I had to delete all registry settings to make it work properly even after successful uninstall. It's not an easy task you are about to do and don't expect it will work flawlessly just because you are using AutoIt. To delete all files and registry settings was the only option that helped for me back then but I believe it can be done more easily these days. Use Nero's General CleanTool and please use the AutoIt-forum and help file if you really want to learn scripting. Nero7 leaves some uninstall files in %WINDIR% and maybe Nero6 does the same. Check if these files exists %WINDIR%\UNNero*.exe and try to run %WINDIR%\UNNero*.exe /UNINSTALL and see what happens. This AutoIt line deletes Nero ProductSetup shortcut Run ( @ComSpec & " /c " & "del /q /s NEROPR~1.LNK", @ProgramsCommonDir, @SW_HIDE) Edit: Wow… this script is getting quite popular and many new forum users here just to get it. I really hope this script is useful when Ahead doesn't seem to care for us unattended users.

AutoIt-script is updated to version 1.31 (minor update) and uploaded to 'AutoIT Script Collection'. * Updated: Support for 'Nero Burning ROM 7.10.1.0' and hopefully further small updates Search of distribution is now (Nero-7*.exe) It’s working here… same package format as before but extracted to %ProgramFiles%\Nero instead of %ProgramFiles%\Ahead\Nero but the script is taking care of that already.BTW, is “Fast CD-DVD Burning Plug-in for WMP” removed in this release or what?

I hear you, and I appreciate the feedback. AutoIT-script is updated to version 1.3 and uploaded to 'AutoIT Script Collection'. * Updated: Improved 'Ask Toolbar' management * Updated: More tweaks and improvements

@razormoon: If you look at post #145 in the ‘AutoIT Script Collection’ and this topic starter, it’s the same individual. BoardBabe created a similar script a year back from now that had this way of include/exclude components. I didn’t know at first that if I deleted conf.txt the settings would take in the command line, that’s why I updated this script. @mr_smartepants: Thanks for your support in the testing area and reporting back after using this script! BTW, I really appreciate your effort in the DP department. (If you are the same man behind that nickname) Keep up the good work!

@Sonic: Sorry to tell you this but I don’t have the skills (yet) to master ahead’s component structure and filelist. BTW, if it’s all about optimized space, why not use Nero 7 Lite? My script is intended only for those who want flexibility in their installs unfortunately.
