Nero Burning ROM v7 installation

[urie]

One concern I have is that the 2 versions significantly differ in sizes. See below.

So just what is packed in that latest version of Nero? I opened the EXE using 7-Zip and the size differences seem to be in the CAB files. I know that older versions on Nero 6 used to offer Nero Vision/Recode as a separate download.

Can someone who uses the older 7.10.1.0 confirm that it does include Nero Vision/Recode. And if so then what is making it such a big difference in size. Maybe its this Nero Sipps or something else.

Nero-7.10.1.0_eng_full.exe

MD5: E7C94A757600BD631807692B7BCD2BA4

Size: 173 MB (182,002,016 bytes)

Nero-7.11.10.0_all_update.exe

MD5: C930907465AC02EE33522E01A80F0A6A

Size: 388 MB (406,903,544 bytes)

Nero-7.11.10.0_all_update.exe that is nero with all language packs. That is why it is so large.

Anyone know is CEoCEo still active in this thread or forum?

I have made some updates to the Nero 7 script that others may be interested in but I don't want to upset CEoCEo by posting it in this thread without his permission. Of course the script will still contain his header and credits unchanged.

I added the following features. Some of these were borrowed from the CEoCEo Nero 8 script.

; Remove Nero Vision Media Content (This for those of you who use Recode but not Nero Vision, frees up 120 MB)

; Select Languages Files for removal (can free up 350 MB if using only one language!!)

;

; Value of 1 means remove this lang.

; Change to 0 for the languages you wish to keep

; NOTE: ENG (English is always kept by default)

; Remove Nero Home related files (JFC)

; Disable Nero Patent Activation (JFC)

Updated:

; Nero Scout removal

; Create Nero Recode Desktop ShortCut

; Create Nero Burning ROM Desktop ShortCut

; Create Nero Burning ROM QuickLaunch

; ICON CHOICES for desktop shortcuts below

;

;$Icon = @ProgramFilesDir & "\Nero\Nero 7\Core\nero.exe"

; 108 - Gold disc film strip

; 112 - Silver disc film strip

; 109 - mp3 music note silver disc

; 110 - mp3 music note gold disc

; 116 - music note gold disc

; 160 - gold disc red match

; 168 - silver disc red match

;$Icon = @ProgramFilesDir & "\Nero\Nero 7\Nero Recode\Recode.exe"

;$IconNumber = 3 ;Filmstrip color

;$IconNumber = 15 ;Filmstrip black white

Also, plan to add an Advanced menu to the Nero Start Menu which gives 2 programs:

1) Unregister all Nero codecs

2) Register all Nero codecs

This will give people the ability to unregister codecs that might be causing problems with other video editing or video player apps. Then re-register them when needed. It might also be useful to create a shortcut that has a launcher for Nero ROM, Recode, Vision, Smart Start that when executed first re-registers all the codecs and then launches the program. I am thinking the shortcut would actually be to an Auto-It script that kicks off the program, but not sure if that would be the best way to do it.

I also first need to test and make sure that after an un-register and re-register that the codecs and plugins still retain the licensing/registration information so they are active and ready to use and do not require re-registering.

Here are some more customization code examples:

; Disable Nero Patent Activation (JFC)
If $NPA = 1 Then
	$SharedDlls = "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDlls"
	FileDelete(@CommonFilesDir & "\Ahead\Lib\NeroPatentActivation.exe")
	RegDelete($SharedDlls, @CommonFilesDir & "\Ahead\Lib\NeroPatentActivation.exe")
EndIf

; Remove Nero Vision Media Content (frees up 120 MB) - JFC
If $RVC = 1 Then
	$VDIR = "\Nero\Nero 7\Nero Vision\"
	DirRemove( @ProgramFilesDir & $VDIR & "3DAnimations\Menus\4_3", 1)
	DirRemove( @ProgramFilesDir & $VDIR & "3DAnimations\Menus\16_9", 1)
	DirCreate( @ProgramFilesDir & $VDIR & "3DAnimations\Menus\4_3")
	DirCreate( @ProgramFilesDir & $VDIR & "3DAnimations\Menus\16_9")
	FileDelete ( @ProgramFilesDir & $VDIR & "Pictures\*.*")
	If FileExists(@ProgramFilesDir & $VDIR & "Video\black.avi") Then
		FileCopy( @ProgramFilesDir & $VDIR & "Video\black.avi", @ProgramFilesDir & $VDIR & "Video\black.bak")
	EndIf
	FileDelete ( @ProgramFilesDir & $VDIR & "Video\*.avi")
	FileDelete ( @ProgramFilesDir & $VDIR & "Video\*.mpg")
	If FileExists(@ProgramFilesDir & $VDIR & "Video\black.bak") Then

FYI - the downloads do not contain complete "help" files; they are "skeletons". In addition, you will find these in the CAB's (the skeletons). Within the MSI, you'l be able to find out which CAB.

To get the Help files (to be copied into the install folder, e.g. "Program Files") go here -

http://www.nero.com/enu/support-nero7-helpfiles.html

I couldn't say whether they could be incorporated into the installs as this would require some knowledge of MSI (for CRC's?), in addition to correctly replacing them in the associated CAB's.
