I have found a way to silently install nero 7.0.1.2 without nero scout and other unwanted components.It works without any problems 1] Download nero 7.0.1.2 and extract it to a folder using winrar,then goto the folder and run setupx.exe and cancel it after the installation dialog shows up. The setupx.exe file extracts some cabs in the cab folder. 2] Now you can edit the nero.msi file using installshield to remove the unwanted components and insert the serial. If you don't want to install nero on Windows 98 you remove the 9x components to reduce the size. Open Nero.msi in installshield. goto Organization == Components and remove the components with contain the word 9x anywhere 3] Then open run and type msiexec /a "path to nero.msi" to perform administrative install. Now go to the folder where you did admin install and create two folders a]Setup- Copy it form the folder where you extracted Nero setup. You can delete the eula files of other languages. It should contain the files : fminf.fml, nps.dll and eula_xxx.rtf b]Cab- Copy only the file 307C0B60.cab(2.75 MB) from the cab folder where you extracted the Nero setup. c]Also copy setupx.exe to the folder where you did admin install. 4]To silently install nero "path to setupx.exe" /qn /norestart. It installs without any problem and shortcuts are created.
