CEoCEo, with your script for Nero 8.1.1.0, the installation of Nero 8.1.1.0b is stopped on first

screen (Nero Ask Toolbar window).

I think that something is missed in the script.

* Fixed: Search for Nero 8 Help File Package

EDIT: Updated script again... 2.11

Minor internal changes regarding reboot prompt issues in any language.

Thanks 'CEoCEo' for the script. I will get back with the feedback after I get a chance to use it. I do have one suggestion/request, could you please modify the script so that if one leaves the UserName and CompanyName blank then the default is picked up from the system.

I think the following should be changed,

from:

$UN = "UserName"
$CN = "CompanyName"

to:

$UN = ""; UserName
$CN = ""; CompanyName

Thanks.

[CEoCEo]

Good suggestion Sanjay!

Implemented into 2.12

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?

[bober101]

thing is im running the setup from my dvd drive..i guess thtas why.

I have the same problem I get the error and then restart then nothing comes up.

How do I disbable cleaners?

And where does it extract to?

Mine doesnt have a documents and settings folder.

WPI... I got the RunOnce pop up from the autoit installer (it exited on its own) then WPI continued installing the rest of my programs. On reboot Nero setup restarted, it extracted and installed successfully.

[CEoCEo]

How do I disbable cleaners?

Maybe I can implement this…

And where does it extract to?

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?

[Gorki]

Well I did not manage to install it once again...

On first logon installation fails,after restart (second logon) installation continues,extracts,tries to configure and install than BANG...look at the screenie...

[Sanjay]

I tried the script in a real unattended install and I am glad to report the installation went of perfectly, except for one small problem:

$UN = ""; UserName
$CN = ""; CompanyName

which seemed to work fine with the Nero 7 scripts, does not work here and I ended up with blanks where there ought to be the User and Company names. I would like to point out that I had simply made the above change to the scipt myself, so in case there are any other required changes that were made by CEoCEo to make this work, then that may be the problem. I compared my script with that of CEoCEo and my simply just making the above change is not enough since the script requires further entries to make it work. Lesson learnt, in future be more careful.

Thanks.
