Problem with NERO 6.3.1.15 silent install (ntdll)

[r0sWell]

Hi everybody,

i have a problem in my unattended windows xp installation.

it comes sometimes (apparently not everytimes) and it's about Nero burning rom 6.3.1.15

i installed Nero using this :

echo Install of Nero Burning ROM 6.3.1.15
echo wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\Hotfixes\Nero\Setup.exe /silent /sn=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx /write_sn /no_ui /nocancel /noreboot
echo -Done.
echo ...install of Plugins MP3-Pro and MPC
copy /Y %systemdrive%\Hotfixes\Nero\NeMP3Enc.dll %systemdrive%\"Program Files"\Ahead\Nero\NeMP3Enc.dll
copy /Y %systemdrive%\Hotfixes\Nero\nxMyMPC.dll %systemdrive%\"Program Files"\"Fichiers communs"\Ahead\AudioPlugins\nxMyMPC.dll
echo OK.

i don't understand why i have this error, i explain :

nero begins to install itself silently, good it seems to work.

but sometimes (in fact i have tested 5-6 times & it appended 3 times) an error box comes and there is an "ntdll" error.

so i click to quit, and later in Windows, Nero seems to work (i didn't test deeply but the software doesn't crash).

someone know what type of problem could cause this error ?

it doesn't come everytimes, and 1 time the Nero silent install blocked itseft completely.

apart from that, it's OK, but i would want to know how this ntdll error comes.

PS: i always test my Windows with VMware.

thx in advance.

did u try to install it without the plugins?

2nd u can open the setup.exe with winrar and change the silent install options in the bar on winrar's right, to have less problems....

also ntdll does not come with nero. so it might just be bc of something else..

also for the install of the plugins, I think u've to install them to the plugins folder "program files\ahead\nero plugins"

and finally the way u chosed your "" around the path name is not the best way to go with. instead change them to this:

copy /Y %systemdrive%\Hotfixes\Nero\NeMP3Enc.dll %programfiles%\Ahead\Nero\NeMP3Enc.dll

copy /Y %systemdrive%\Hotfixes\Nero\nxMyMPC.dll %commonprogramfiles%\Ahead\AudioPlugins\nxMyMPC.dll

it shouldn't be the nero installation doing it... i silent install the same version as that and it works i tested it the other day on an old computer here at the shop

sorry but i tested before using %programfiles%, %userprofile%, etc...

but it doesn't work : i have "incorrect syntax" errors

(sorry for english, in french it's called "erreur de syntaxe")

-> so the batch cannot find the path.

so, here are the comments in the SFX Nero install :

Setup=setup.exe /SFX

TempMode

Silent=2

Overwrite=1

Title=Nero 6.0- 6.3.1.15 Ahead Software AG

i still have the problem : error with ntdll.dll

i have even tried to put the NERO install just after the installation of the hotfixes for Windows (in the case where another software would cause the ntdll.dll error), but doen't change anything.

So, now it's working. i don't really know how...

For those who could have this problem one day here is my code.

Nero is one of the last installation of my tweaks.bat (after there are InCD + registry tweaks...)

i removed the "/no_ui" parameter for Nero, & when i tested agian, no ntdll.dll error.

i will re-test again tomorrow, but here is my code now :

echo Nero Burning ROM 6.3.1.15
echo wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\Hotfixes\Nero\nero63115.exe /SILENT /NOREBOOT /NOCANCEL /SN=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx /WRITE_SN
echo -Done.
echo ...Plugins MP3-Pro and MPC
copy /Y %systemdrive%\Hotfixes\Nero\NeMP3Enc.dll %systemdrive%\"Program Files"\Ahead\Nero\NeMP3Enc.dll
copy /Y %systemdrive%\Hotfixes\Nero\nxMyMPC.dll %systemdrive%\"Program Files"\"Fichiers communs"\Ahead\AudioPlugins\nxMyMPC.dll
echo OK.
echo.
echo.
echo.
echo InCD 4.1.5.10
echo wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\Hotfixes\Nero\InCD41510.exe /silent /sn=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx /write_sn /no_ui /noreboot
echo OK.

it works perfectly (for this time).

instead of one thing : installation box appears...

but it's not the most important thing.

re-edit the self extract winrar "nero63115.exe"

- path to extract

- run after extraction

- silent mode -> hide all

- title

- load SFX icon from the file, etc...

you should see the comment like this exemple:

;The comment below contains SFX script commands

Path=%TEMP%

Setup=setup.exe /silent /sn=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx /write_sn /no_ui /nocancel /noreboot

Silent=1

Overwrite=1

Title=Nero 6.3.1.15

then the SFX nero63115.exe is silent , and the setup.exe extracted is also silent
