Restart box opening up during Nero 8 install

[GamingX]

Hi,

I haven't figured out how to skip the Nero 8 restart box which pops up saying that "A previous program requires a restart, please restart the system to begin Nero 8 installation". I moved it to the top of the order, but then again, it says "A Windows update requires a Windows restart, Please restart the system to begin Nero 8 installation". How do I get rid of the restart box?

Nero 7 and 8 have long been a thorn in WPI's side. Are you using one of the lite packages or the full thing?

What are your switches.

[GamingX]

I am using the full thing. I am using only one switch /qn.

[Kelsenellenelvian]

/qn /NORESTART RebootYesNo="No" serialnum_userval="---your-serial---no---" AgreeToLicense="Yes" EULA_AGREEMENT=1

[GamingX]

Thanks for that. So do I remove the registry entry that I created to register the serial number?

[Kelsenellenelvian]

yes

[GamingX]

No luck. I tried it out by uninstalling Nero 8, then again installing it via WPI. I was greeted with the box. The box has only two options. OK and Cancel. If we click OK, it reboots and if we click Cancel it cancels the setup.

I used the script from the first page, then slightly adjusted it it works, also customized...:

@echo off
title Nero 8.1.2.0
echo.
echo Updating DirectX 9c Redistributable...
start /wait Data\Redist\DirectX\dxsetup.exe /silent
echo.
echo VCR...
start /wait Data\Redist\VCRedistSetup.msi /passive /norestart
echo.
echo Nero XML...
start /wait Data\Redist\neroxml.msi /passive /norestart
echo.
echo KB884016 v2...
start /wait Data\Redist\WindowsInstaller-KB884016-v2-x86.exe /passive /norestart
echo.

it works without the first lines, but you do need some of the files in that part

this is the part I edited:

@echo off
title Nero 8.1.2.0
echo Installing Nero Premium 8...
start /wait SetupX.exe /qb! /NORESTART ADDLOCAL="NeroBackItUpCB9D5429,NeroBurningRomBCAFF604,NeroBurnRights72CC518F,NeroStartSmartB035464E" RebootYesNo="No" NERO_SCOUT="FALSE" serialnum_userval="**SERIAL HERE***" AgreeToLicense="Yes" EULA_AGREEMENT=1

as you can see I only installed BackItUp, BurningRom, Burn Rights and SmartStart

full list of avalabel features:

I got these from a NERO 7 installation so they might not all work

to bad smartstart keeps crashing on my pc (vista ultibate x64)

This is all I can really do to help

I am just searching the applications installs section of the forum for "Nero".

GamingX,

It has been a while but I think these are the switches I used with Nero 6 in WPI:

/SILENT /NOREBOOT /SN=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx /WRITE_SN

Enjoy, John.
