1.) I don't use nlite, but if you make it silent and nlite can run it, it will install silently

2.)Search

I agree if u dont hv quick batch file converter, startX.exe is for you.

I think you've missed a point.

What does Quick Batch Compiler do ? It encapsulates your batch file within an exe. Try to compile a batch file with a pause statement inside. Launch it, and look into your %temp% directory. Surprise!! the "crypted" batch file is there, called bt????.bat.

If you intended to call msiexec.exe within your batch-exe file, then you've got a problem.

You can call install.exe like this: cd /d my_rep\somewhere & install.exe

You can also open the folder and double-click install.exe

But you cannot call this way: \my_rep\somewhere\install.exe. And remember that %cd% = %temp%, thanks to the "crypt" trick.

=> The install procedure described in this howto is GOOD.

;!@Install@!UTF-8!

RunProgram="Nero7.0.1.2.BASIC.exe -passive -norestart"

;!@InstallEnd@!

Why do I keep rebooting???

Will removing the -norestart from config.txt and calling the .exe from a batch

"%systemdrive%\install\applications\Nero7.0.1.2.BASIC.exe /norestart"

stop the reboot?

The config.txt should be:

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
RunProgram="msistub Nero.msi /qb-! /norestart"
;!@InstallEnd@!

Keytotime remade most of my msi installs with your msistub & all working well.

The config.txt should be:

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
RunProgram="msistub Nero.msi /qb-! /norestart"
;!@InstallEnd@!

this is not working at all. installer starts and then rolls back. I suppose I could use my first one as my reboot cmd

Does anyone have more information about StartX.exe? I have looked around on google, but came up empty... or back to this site.

[keytotime]

Try this:

msistub Nero.msi /qb /norestart

See what error it spit's out.

Nero is slipping righ in there now. I started over from scratch. Thanks.
