Nero crashes during install

[gai-jin]

I'm having trouble. This seems to be an intermittent problem, and so far the only pattern I think I've noticed is it happens only when I'm doing a 2 cd install, not an install from dvd (but I wouldn't swear even to that).

For some reason, nero setup intermittently crashes during the runonce phase of my install. It seems as though it finishes the setup (or most of it) before it starts acting up, as nero works fine after install.

Anyone have ideas as to why this is happening?

please share your code... otherwise very difficult to troubleshoot your problem.

and what version of nero do u have. are u using nlite?

[gai-jin]

Nero Version : 6.3.1.15

Here's the section of runonce.cmd that launches nero.

ECHO Installing Nero Burning ROM...
ECHO Please wait...
start "" /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Nero\Nero63115.exe /silent /noreboot /no_ui /sn=mmmm-xxxx-3333-xxxx-3333-xxxx  /write_sn

Here are other, somewhat related, files:

CD2.cmd (copies files over from disc two, then launces runonce.)

CLS
@ECHO OFF
ECHO.
ECHO Ejecting CD-ROM Drives...
ECHO If you are using a cd rom please remove it from
ECHO the cdrom drive and If you have a second cd place
ECHO it in the drive at this time please.
ECHO.
ECHO.
ECHO Wait till the cdrom/dvd drive quits blinking
ECHO and then press any key to continue.
start %systemdrive%\install\Tools\cdr open
ECHO.
PAUSE

IF EXIST %systemdrive%\install\runonce.cmd GOTO RUNBATCH
SET CDROM2=
IF EXIST D:\install\runonce.cmd SET CDROM2=D:
IF EXIST E:\install\runonce.cmd SET CDROM2=E:
IF EXIST F:\install\runonce.cmd SET CDROM2=F:
IF EXIST G:\install\runonce.cmd SET CDROM2=G:
IF EXIST H:\install\runonce.cmd SET CDROM2=H:
IF EXIST I:\install\runonce.cmd SET CDROM2=I:
IF EXIST J:\install\runonce.cmd SET CDROM2=J:
IF EXIST K:\install\runonce.cmd SET CDROM2=K:

ECHO Please be patient while files are copied to your hard drive.
xcopy %CDROM2%\install %systemdrive%\install\ /S /C /Q /H /Y
ECHO.

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\runonce.CMD

ECHO Restarting the PC in 30 seconds...
shutdown -r -f -t 60 -c "Windows XP will now restart in 1 minute, this will give enough time for the shortcuts to update and for the shell to fully load before its ready to restart!"

ECHO.
::ECHO Deleting Temp Installation Files...
::RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\install
::RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\Drivers
::ECHO.
EXIT

The Nero setup files are actually on disc one in $oem$\$1\install\applications\nero\

Anything else I can offer to help troubleshoot?

Please remove your serial no for NERO!

please follow the MSFN Forum Rules.

replace your code with this one

%systemdrive%\install\nero\nero63120.exe /SN=mmmm-xxxx-3333-xxxx-3333-xxxx /Write_SN /Silent /NoReboot" /f

Sorry. Missed that one.

download the lastest nero. if u notice mine is newer than yours. run it through virtual pc. it should not crash anymore

[gai-jin]

That's one thing I hate about nero... seems like they put out a new build every day. Impossible to keep up.

What does the /f do?
