thx. nice tool you've made there. today i've tried it with the latest nero v6(.6.1.4) & visionexpress v3.1.0.25. it works great if i use it on nero v6 only, but if you combine it with visionexpress some dll's won't get registered ('blahblah..doesn't seem to be a legit windows dll..cannot be registered..blahblah') and visionexpress cannot be started, plus my custom _setup creates a shortcut to showtime on the desktop instead of the startsmart. i'm using windows 2000 sp4.
