[Question] Nero 7.7.5.1 switches usage

[rajesh.kumar]

after extraction using winrar, delete the toolbar crap and directly start to install. No admininstall.

Hey, folks, thought I would throw this out there for those who like to do it the convoluted way based on the excellent insights found in this thread.

1. . . extract the files using WinRAR and edit the conf.txt file to EXCLUDE the bloat per SubD's notes (nice!).

2. . . create a .cmd file to perform the actual install:

@ECHO OFF

%TEMP%\SetupX.exe /QUIET /NORESTART RebootYesNo="No" serialnum_userval="xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx" AgreeToLicense="Yes" EULA_AGREEMENT=1

CLS
EXIT

3. . . create a .reg file to remove program nags, based on the installed options:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]
"NeroHomeFirstStart"=-

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"NeroFilterCheck"=-

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ahead\Nero Home\MediaLibrary]
"DisableNeroScout"=dword:00000001

4. . . use IconsExtract to grab a Nero icon.

5. . . put those files, together with AutoIt3.exe and the script 'install.au3' into the Nero directory:

TraySetIcon( @ScriptDir & '\Nero7.ico')
TraySetState (4)
TrayTip('Unattended Installation', 'Installing Nero 7 Ultra Edition . . . please wait . . .', 0, 1)
RunWait(@ScriptDir & "\Redist\DirectX\dxsetup.exe /silent")
Sleep(1000)
RunWait( @ScriptDir & "\install.cmd", "", @SW_HIDE)
Sleep(1500)
RunWait ( @Comspec & ' /C regedit /S ' & @ScriptDir & '\NERO7nags.reg', '', @SW_HIDE )
Sleep(500)
FileDelete( @DesktopCommonDir & "\Nero StartSmart.lnk")
TrayTip("clear tip","",0)
TraySetState (8)
MsgBox(4096, "Unattended Install", "Installation completed successfully!", 5)
Exit

6. . . archive the Nero directory contents using WinRAR with the icon and the following comment:

Path=.\%TEMP%
Setup=AutoIt3.exe install.au3
Silent=2
Overwrite=1

It installs really well and looks pretty snazzy with the balloon tip and custom flashing tray icon, couldn't be happier. I had tried editing the .msi to no effect, very frustrating. This method worked for me.

TRY THIS ===>

1. EXTRACT NERO 7.7.5.1 WITH 7ZIP TO \NERO 7.7.5.1 (etc...)

2. CREATE A .CMD FILE ex. ( "INSTALL.CMD")

@echo off
title Nero 7.7.5.1 Ultra

echo Unpacking Installation Files...

echo.

echo Installing Nero Ultra ...

start /wait SetupX.exe /QUIET /NORESTART RebootYesNo="No" NERO_SCOUT="FALSE" serialnum_userval="XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" AgreeToLicense="Yes" EULA_AGREEMENT=1

3. CREATE NEROREGS.REG FILE

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ahead\NeroSearchBar\Settings]
"Show"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ahead\Nero Scout]
"FT"=dword:00000000

;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"=-

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]
"remove neroscout"="regsvr32 /u /s "%CommonProgramFiles%\Ahead\Lib\MediaLibraryNSE.dll"

4. PLACE INSTALL.CMD & NEROREGS.REG INTO YOUR NERO 7.7.5.1 DIRECTORY

5. 'SELECT ALL' WITHIN THE DIRECTORY -> RIGHT CLICK -> (WINRAR) ADD TO ARCHIVE -> CHOOSE SFX AND SOLID (BEST COMPRESSION) AND USE THESE COMMENTS ==>

Setup=regedit /s neroregs.reg
Setup=install.cmd
TempMode
SavePath
Silent=1
Overwrite=1
Title=NERO 7.7.5.1 Ultra Install

GOOD LUCK!!
