To install Nero 7 Premium silently do the following:

First edit conf.txt found in "nero\Nero 7 Premium\Redist\Config"

INCEXCFTR (B035464E) (NeroStartSmart) NeroStartSmart EXCLUDE

INCEXCFTR (BCAFF604) (Actions) NeroBurningRom INCLUDE

INCEXCFTR (2FF8B816) (Features) NeroHome EXCLUDE

INCEXCFTR (57D52359) (Features) NeroVision INCLUDE

INCEXCFTR (D773A6E2) (NeroShowTime) NeroShowTime EXCLUDE

INCEXCFTR (6035F00C) (Actions) NeroRecode INCLUDE

INCEXCFTR (53BEFA20) (Features) NeroMediaHome EXCLUDE

INCEXCFTR (E72D824A) (Features) NeroInfoTool INCLUDE

INCEXCFTR (C5AB9CFD) (SpecialFeatures) NeroFastCDBurningPlugin INCLUDE

Change the text to INCLUDE or EXCLUDE depending on whether you want a feature installed or not.

First make sure that hidden files are shown

Control Panel-->Folder Options-->View-->Show hidden files and folders.

Next start the Nero 7 Premium Installation wizard.

Now locate the following folder

C:\Documents and Settings\USER NAME\Local Settings\Temp

(USER NAME will be the name your logged on has).

Copy the following 2 files: 16e16cf.msi and 16e16do.mst to the Nero 7 Premium folder that also contains Cab,Redist,setup folders and a number of 1###.mst files.

(NOTE: the filenames in red will be generated at random and will be different from that shown here).

Start the installation with c:\nero\Nero 7 Premium\16e16cf.msi /quiet /passive /norestart

great!!

good to have an unattended install , before the product gets released

[Shark007]

This proccess still doesnt read the info from conf.txt

It does do a complete installation.

your 2 files (in red) are direct copies of the msi and the (local)mst file.

It also still reboots after an install.

No new info here.

[BoardBabe]

so anyone know HOW to use this conf file? Or even is it possible?

[SiMoNsAyS]

for me, more important is how to shrink the setup

at the moment none of the methods i've tried have worked (this includes the administrative point setup )

[cachirro]

same trouble here ;(

[what3v3r]

i encountered the following problems, when trying this method:

my pc reboots

i have no start menu entries

it ignores the config file

any news on these issues?

[Dynaletik]

Yes, I had the same problem. Now, I use Nero 7 Ultra Edition. I edit the config file and then run the setup with an AutoIT script, so the config isn't ignored. With this AutoIT script I can also stop the reboot.

Can you post that autoit script please

[Dynaletik]

Can you post that autoit script please

Yes, only problem is, that this AutoIT script is for german installer. So if you want to use it, you first have to change the entries.

I'll post what I did:

First, I customized the conf.txt, so only the included components get installed. I only want to install Nero Burning Rom, CoverDesigner, CD-DVD Speed and DriveSpeed, so my INCLUDE/EXCLUDE section looks like this:

INCEXCFTR (B035464E) (NeroStartSmart) NeroStartSmart EXCLUDE
INCEXCFTR (BCAFF604) (Actions) NeroBurningRom INCLUDE
INCEXCFTR (2FF8B816) (Features) NeroHome EXCLUDE
INCEXCFTR (57D52359) (Features) NeroVision EXCLUDE
INCEXCFTR (D773A6E2) (NeroShowTime) NeroShowTime EXCLUDE
INCEXCFTR (6035F00C) (Actions) NeroRecode EXCLUDE
INCEXCFTR (53BEFA20) (Features) NeroMediaHome EXCLUDE
INCEXCFTR (CB9D5429) (Features) NeroBackItUp EXCLUDE
INCEXCFTR (7CE8D626) (Actions) NeroCoverDesigner INCLUDE
INCEXCFTR (ED1EAF52) (NeroPhotoSnap) NeroPhotoSnap EXCLUDE
INCEXCFTR (FA3A3F7B) (Features) NeroWaveEditor EXCLUDE
INCEXCFTR (716FE146) (NeroSoundTrax) NeroSoundTrax EXCLUDE
INCEXCFTR (E38B9E06) (Features) NeroImageDrive NOTWOW64BITS EXCLUDE
INCEXCFTR (82602EE0) (Features) NeroCDDVDSpeed INCLUDE
INCEXCFTR (7DFFCC12) (Features) NeroDriveSpeed INCLUDE
INCEXCFTR (72CC518F) (Features) NeroBurnRights EXCLUDE
INCEXCFTR (E72D824A) (Features) NeroInfoTool EXCLUDE
INCEXCFTR (C5AB9CFD) (SpecialFeatures) NeroFastCDBurningPlugin EXCLUDE

Now before starting the AutoIT script, I integrate the key with a reg file:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ahead\Installation\Families\Nero 7\Info]
"Serial7"="*xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
"User"="USER"
"Company"="COMPANY"

Then I start the following AutoIT script (German):

AutoItSetOption("TrayIconHide", 1)
BlockInput(1)
run("SetupX.exe")
WinWait("Nero 7 Ultra Edition - Installations-Assistent", "Welcome to the Installation Wizard for Nero 7 Ultra Edition")
sleep(3000)
controlclick("Nero 7 Ultra Edition - Installations-Assistent", "&Weiter >", "Button1")
WinWait("Nero 7 Ultra Edition - Installations-Assistent", "License Agreement")
controlclick("Nero 7 Ultra Edition - Installations-Assistent", "&Ich akzeptiere die Bedingungen der Lizenzvereinbarung", "Button1")
controlclick("Nero 7 Ultra Edition - Installations-Assistent", "&Weiter >", "Button4")
WinWait("Nero 7 Ultra Edition - Installations-Assistent", "Customer Information")
controlclick("Nero 7 Ultra Edition - Installations-Assistent", "&Weiter >", "Button1")
WinWait("Nero 7 Ultra Edition - Installations-Assistent", "Setup Type")
controlclick("Nero 7 Ultra Edition - Installations-Assistent", "Cu&stom", "Button3")
controlclick("Nero 7 Ultra Edition - Installations-Assistent", "&Weiter >", "Button5")
WinWait("Nero 7 Ultra Edition - Installations-Assistent", "Language selection")
controlclick("Nero 7 Ultra Edition - Installations-Assistent", "&Weiter >", "Button3")
WinWait("Nero 7 Ultra Edition - Installations-Assistent", "Custom Setup")
controlclick("Nero 7 Ultra Edition - Installations-Assistent", "&Weiter >", "Button5")
WinWait("Nero 7 Ultra Edition - Installations-Assistent", "Ready to Install the Program")
controlclick("Nero 7 Ultra Edition - Installations-Assistent", "&Installieren", "Button1")
WinWait("Nero 7 Ultra Edition - Installations-Assistent", "File Associations")
controlclick("Nero 7 Ultra Edition - Installations-Assistent", "&Weiter >", "Button6")
WinWait("Nero 7 Ultra Edition - Installations-Assistent", "Installation Wizard Completed")
controlclick("Nero 7 Ultra Edition - Installations-Assistent", "&Beenden", "Button1")
WinWait("Installer-Informationen zu Nero 7 Ultra Edition")
controlclick("Installer-Informationen zu Nero 7 Ultra Edition", "&Nein", "Button2")
BlockInput(0)

After the installation is done, I cleanup the system by running the following batchfile:

cmdow @ /HID
@echo off

RD /S /Q "%AllUsersProfile%\Startm~1\Programme\Nero 7 Ultra Edition\Handbc~1\"
RD /S /Q "%AllUsersProfile%\Startm~1\Programme\Nero 7 Ultra Edition\Audio\"
regsvr32 /u /s "%CommonProgramFiles%\Ahead\Lib\MediaLibraryNSE.dll"

It deletes the unused startmenu entries and deactivates Nero Scout, I don't need it.

(You can also cleanup the %temp% folder, because Nero creates a lot of stuff in there, but I do this after ALL apps are installed.)

Now it would be time for some Nero tweaks, but I only integrate this reg file:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;Deletes Nero Filter Check from Autostart
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"NeroFilterCheck"=-

;Deletes Nero Scout Optionswizard from Autostart
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]
"NeroHomeFirstStart"=-

;Shows the temporary writing speed
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ahead\Nero - Burning Rom\Recorder]
"ShowSingleRecorderSpeed"=dword:00000001

OK, Nero is installed

You can use the AutoIT script for the Premium version, too I think. but you have to change "Ultra Edition" to "Premium" and my premium version doesn't ask me for restart, so this can be deleted from the script. Hope this helps.

I did not see any bugs in the apps I use. And it has got better design. Only thing is the size. 550 MB installation is too big.

[BoardBabe]

Dynaletik: DId the INCLUDE and EXCLUDE part work? are you 100% sure that the features you set to EXCLUDE did not get installed?

Dynaletik: DId the INCLUDE and EXCLUDE part work? are you 100% sure that the features you set to EXCLUDE did not get installed?

YES! 100 %. Installed it about 15 times now using the method. And installed it on 3 different computers. With the posted part of conf.txt, only Nero Burning Rom, CoverDesigner, CD-DVD Speed and DriveSpeed got installed. (And for sure NeroScout, as you can't EXCLUDE it.) There is no directory, no regkey and no shortcut of any other Nero application on my system, so I think it works. But installing Nero silent by using /qn switch did not work well for me: If I edit conf.txt, the whole Nero Suite gets installed on silent way.

And it also seems, as if the conf.txt does not work that good it should, because at the end of the file, you should be able to set the key and the installdir and this does NOT work for me. But the INCLUDE/EXCLUDE part works for me in combination with the AutoIT script.

I believe I read somewhere that one could remove the nero scout icon from My puter with a regtweak, but I cant find where I read it. Any idea?
