Unattended XP problems

**ESCOMMODORE64** · April 2, 2008

Seriously, this p***es me off.

I can't run Nero setup for the unattended setup. My Office 2007 ran beautifully. But my Nero stops, because it requres WI3.1 due to /qn /norestart switch.

Now back to this problem.

For our safety, I'm not going to answer anything about Office 2007. Stop asking about it.

I have problems with Ahead Nero 7 silent installation, as well as rest of windows update packages. ( .NET Frameworks, WMP11 )

I would like to know how to work around this stupid switches for Windows Installer 3.1.

Please help!

Hang on, I think i should try to slipstream SP3 first, because it comes with WI 3.1.

Will let you guys knows.

Ok i think i know why it was triggered the WI screen.

Here is the screenshot.

Notice, I apologize for the screenshot's size, but I managed to made it to 36KB in size. I hope this is good enough for us to understand this situation

I'm trying to make the unattended Nero 7 install.

Here is my code, and even SP3 integrated, nothing helps. Been working on this unattended for 3 days now. Help!

Another problem:

RunOnceEx.cmd was found in %CDROM%\$OEM$ < This was ran by cmdlines.txt just fine >

Drivers was found in %CDROM%\$OEM$\$1\drivers < Seem that this is not working at all. On virtual PC i didn't see any drivers in system32 directory.>

Dell Speedstep, Notebook System Setup and QuickSet comes with Dell Latitude D600 laptop. The switches are correct, according to unattended.msfn website.

Beside, i changed my topic to unattended problems

I will post up the winnt.sif if someone asked for it for the drivers problems, or anything you requested.

Title updated.

Sorry, don't have time to wait

**IcemanND** · April 3, 2008

Try enclosing the user name in quotes. Space is a delimiter for switches so it sees you last name as a new switch and does know what it is.

I distinctively remember i saw something about nero 7, that has no quotes

REG ADD %KEY%\000 /V 1 /D "%PP%%CDROM%\Install\Nero\SetupX.exe /qn /norestart /USERNAME=XXXXX XXXXXXX /COMPANY=XXXX /sn=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX /write_sn" /f

Do you think it could be appropriate if i use the registry key for sn and username/company ?

And I still need help with drivers on unattended. =/

**ESCOMMODORE64** · April 3, 2008

Finally made the registry, according to 7.5.1.0.

i edited the RunOnceEx.cmd and cmdline.txt

RUNONCEEX.CMD

REG ADD %KEY%\000 /VE /D "Ahead Nero 7.10.2" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\000 /V 1 /D "%PP%%CDROM%\Install\Nero\SetupX.exe /QUIET /NORESTART RebootYesNo="No" AgreeToLicense="Yes" EULA_AGREEMENT=1" /f

CMDLINES.TXT

[Commands]
"regedit32 /s .\registry.reg"
"rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 .\OEM.INF"
"cmd /c start /min cmd /c .\OEMLink.bat"
"cmd /c start /min cmd /c .\USBS3KB.BAT"
"cmd /c start /min cmd /c .\RunOnceEx.cmd"

Registry.reg

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ahead\Installation\Families\Nero 7\Info]
"Version"="7.10.1.2"
"User"="XXXXX XXXXXXX"
"Company"="XXXX"
"CDNR"="13890"
"EulaAccepted"="1"
"MissingFilesState"="0"
"Serial7_1206798511"="XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"

This process was good, but until Nero 7 gives this error.

Internal Error:
Custom Action DLL crashed on last call in function "NeroAg_RegisterComEx". The installer must now exit.
Crash Thread ID 364
Current Thread ID 1560

!HELP!

Anyone? Nero company is not responding to this problem.

**ESCOMMODORE64** · April 12, 2008

Never mind. Just found the whole answers.

Thought I would like to make this multi-posting as my last one, so it will be visible to anyone who really needs help with unattended install.

Making custom unattended for your Nero 8

http://www.msfn.org/board/Nero-8-custom-Silent-Install-t111896.html&hl=nero

Seem this is having some cmdow problems, but many google pointed to this website.

If you want to hide the window ..., then download cmdow from http://www.commandline.co.uk/cmdow/, drop cmdow.exe e.g. in your C:\WINDOWS\system32 directory (this applies to Windows XP installed on C:\) and uncomment (i.e. remove “rem” from) the...

I downloaded the cmdow and made a silent SFX, thanks to winrar..

Added a line to runonceex, and it will extract it to system32 directory.

It will loads the cmdow and hides, resuming the Nero 8 installation.

Drivers

I was frantically looking for a way to install my drivers, until i came to this thread. Thanks god!

http://www.msfn.org/board/Drivers-from-CD-Simple-Method-t51406.html&hl=cmdow

Those two has been fixed and i finally got my unattended windows running just fine

Thanks MSFN
