[Tool] Nero 9 Repacker - Alpha

[x-Shadow-x]

This is just alpha, but I need some testers. It should work on all versions of Nero 9.

This will make an installer for Nero 9 rite in front of your eyes (Nero + Express, nothing else as of rite now).

Please, if you like it, I will continue making it for every other Nero app (and a GUI).

The instructions are in the zip, if you like it post here, if you have problems, also post here.

OK, first try went pretty well, with a few queries and explanations required.

1. (and most serious) I received a lot of errors because nothing was found in TEMP, hence nothing extracted. Then I realized that your first batch "1. Extract CAB, Build Folders" contained folder name "NERO1005442", while in my temp the folder name was "NERO1004930". Having changed that title in the batch file, it started doing exactly what you say.

2. I noticed two different batches: "4. Make 7z" and "5. Compile". They both produced an appropriate file of approximately the same size (less than 18MB, which is really cool). I suppose they are both there for a reason, like creating a .7z archive, and then an SFX from that archive?

3. Thank you for adding silent switches (if I may add, a bit uncommon, which is a good idea IMHO)

Thank you

Ah, I will have to fix that, i was worried about if the version would change the temp folder name, and it does. I will fix that.

Yes, one creates the 7z and the other creates the SFX.

Thanks for the info, and you are welcome.

Fixed and reuploaded.

Well, I would further suggest you add the *.7z file to the cleanup list since the .exe is the final product, and it would probably be a good idea if you uploaded the tool to at least one more mirror. Due to many server requests, I couldn't download the new files for about an hour this morning.

Keep up the good work.

Added 7z to cleanup, added multiple mirrors. Will be working on it more later today.

I have two problems.

Downloaded "Nero-9.4.26.0_Trial.exe". I have valid serial and clean Windows.

Run the Installer (to extract), when finished, I closed the Installer.

I looked Temp folder, there is a folder named "NERO1005442".

"1. Extract CAB, Build Folders.bat"

I got error in consol.

"The file name, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect, 0 files copied."

(setup.exe, ipclog.exe, unit_app_30)

So I manually copied files and folder.

"2. Serial Generator.bat"

Nero Installer showed, entered serial, It began to install, I got Installiation error (can't resume), skipped that, looked registry, no Nero entry.

"3. Extract Serial.bat"

So I got error, because there isn't a registry entry.

"4. Make 7z.bat"

"5. Compile.bat"

I got "Nero.exe".

Installed "Nero.exe", run from start menu, but not worked.

Maybe because I have no serial registry entry.

Can you add a "Serial.reg" (no serial, It could have a serial like XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXX), we can edit and fill our serial.

I had the same thing with the registry entry, but later it was there. Maybe it's simply a matter of restarting the PC.

[x-Shadow-x]

The serial generator is the most finicky part of it. I have an Idea for something else, going to try it.

There will also be an update later today.

Post programs you would like to see Repacked.

I don't know what programs people want to be Repacked.

I was determined to create lite version. To get "Serial.reg", I should have set up the software. When I tried to setup full Nero, I got warning, which says I must install "Nero Product Patcher, ImagXPres, Microsoft CRT 2005 KB973544" (What are these things? I think we only need .NET 3.0 and Microsoft Visual C++ 2005). After setup this things, setup completed. Copied my language files to "Build" folder. Then I tried "3. Extract Serial.bat", but It gave error again. I looked bat file and registry, I found that both registry keys are wrong. First key is wrong address, second key is not exist. I manually got backup of "Serial.reg" to "Build" folder. Run "4. Make 7z.bat" and "5. Compile.bat". Uninstalled full Nero and cleaned registry and temp folders. Restarted. Tried to install lite "Nero.exe". And happy ending, It worked.

Sorry for the wrong address, I'm on x64 and trying to remember for x86.

Would you mind sharing where you found your key in the registry?

HKLM/Software/Nero/Shared/Nero9/

But please take this relatively, as I'm out of town and using another PC. Maybe someone can confirm.

BTW, menes, I installed Nero9 without .NET 3.0, so I don't think it is a requirement. I only have .NET 2.0 SP2.

Thats what I thought, maybe I just had it wrong. Big update, might be out tomorrow.

I already had all .NETs. According to Nero (when downloading);

"This Software requires the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 to run on Windows XP. Please download and install from here."

[Sp0iLedBrAt]

I hate to say this, but I had the same problem as menes in post #6, namely the first batch file finished, but did not copy setup(x).exe and ipclog.exe into N.Files/Serial.Getter. I copied them manually and got another error, something about files not matching or invalid product. This means I had more success with the first version (which I deleted).

Cheers

Crappy, I'm in the make of a big update, I can upload the old one for now if you want.
