I'm sorry to say this but I've got a problem running ncab.exe . In compability mode it doesn't report anything, under normal mode it report this:

C:\DOCUME~1\Administrator\Local wordt niet herkend als een interne
of externe opdracht, programma of batchbestand.

and then just stops. Any solutions perhaps?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

There's also a space in "Documents and Settings", and it was truncated correctly, so why wouldn't "local settings" be? That seems kinda strange.

Sorry, I can't read your language. Is that your complete variable name or some error message? What does it say when you type

echo %TMP%

Did you use a tweak to disable shortfile name creation?

This is the translation:

C:\DOCUME~1\Administror\Local is not recognized as a intern

or extern command, program or batchfile

@vcBlackBox

  tried your soft on Win2000 sp4 + winrar 3.5 beta +7Zip 4.18 beta+ nero-6.6.0.12.exe

but it stopped when searching nero-6.6.0.12.exe and said :

Nero building process FAILED!

It appears you do not have Nero Package 1 in this directory

and off course the exe is in the same directory.....

could you help me, or maybe ncab don't work on 2000 ?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I got morless the same error, im running xpsp2.... I get

"

ERROR: Nero package 1 was not found in this directory.

The minimum version is Nero-6.6.0.12.exe or higer.

Press any key to contiune . . .

@pauluk83,

have you tried using newer versions of Nero, 7-zip and Winrar?

@pauluk83

This sounds like a similiar problem someone mentioned awhile ago. If you modify the starting directory when a cmd prompt is opened, plz restore back to default and that should fix your problem.

ok how do i do that .. i also used xpize but removed all the backup files

works like a charm, xp sp2, 7zip426, winrar350

nero-6.6.0.16 33434kb removed everything down to 15349kb

This is what I've got for my command prompt defaults...

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor]
"AutoRun"=""
"CompletionChar"=dword:0000040
"DefaultColor"=dword:00000000
"EnableExtensions"=dword:00000001
"PathCompletionChar"=dword:00000040

Copy that into notepad and save it as CommandPromptDefaults.reg (or whatever.reg) and run it. That should solve your problems.

I get the message that it can't find winrar on my system but i do have winrar installed! (3.11) , also tried 3.40..

Good morning to everybody.

Yesterday I was playing with this excelent application and trying to solve the only problem I have: how to specify the install directory.

Then, I found that the answer was under my eyes:

C:\Nero-6.6.0.14.exe /HELP

which indicates this switch: /PATH= (indicates the target path).

So, in Nero_Installer.cmd, in the same line where one enters the serial number I just add the switch /PATH=%programfiles%\TESTING and it worked.

The only problem was, as vcBlackBox had already pointed out, the cleanup section.

So, before that line I put

SET ZZ=%programfiles%\TESTING, then /PATH=%ZZ%, like this:

echo.
echo    --------------------------------
echo           Nero Installation
echo    --------------------------------
echo.

SET ZZ=%programfiles%\TESTING
start /wait setupx.exe /SFX /SILENT /NO_UI /NOREBOOT /PATH=%ZZ% /WRITE_SN /SN=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

Finaly, I replace all instances of

%ProgramFiles%\Ahead

with

%ZZ%

.

And it works, as far as I can test.

The only strange thing happening is when I uninstall Nero program, CoverDesign, Nero BackItUp and Nero StartSmart folders, which I didn't install and wheren't there, appear.

I am no coder, so certainly there is a better way of doing what I did.

I hope this interests someone besides me.

@JohnS

great find.

I'll probably add this to my next version.

Where it says /PATH="%ZZ%", add the quotes because the variable may contain spaces.

EDIT:

I believe this is due to your testing of different configurations in NCAB (installing/uninstalling/re-installing without rebooting). Use the Nero Clean-up Utility. That might help you fix that problem.

One small request. Can you make it so Nero doesn't throw in dozens of its own file extensions?
