Tip: Nero Unattended

[AaronXP]

For you guys who plan to have a silent install of Nero during GuiRunOnce, don't bother.

It errors out halfway through the silent install of Nero (I've tested this on 2 PCs so far) and the rest of the batch you created gets skipped, causing the whole unattended process to bollock up.

It seems the silent install of Nero runs without a glitch when the OS is fully loaded (taskbar loaded etc)

No that's wrong.  Ive made a cd that auto installs latest version of nero using guirunonce, even registeries it, with no problems at all.

To install it, rename the install file as nero.exe and run this command:

nero /silent /noreboot

You need the latest version of nero to do this.  Versions up to about 6 months ago didn't work this way.

Actually i dont do setup stuff no more...but i do install nero.
I use the 4 keys to register the pegasus and the nero apix.
This way you dont have to install at all. Just XCOPY /S etc... c:\program~1\ahead
and its done.

I might have done something wrong. What I did was extract the nero551028.exe with winrar to a directory, copied this to my oem folder on cd and used setup.exe with the switches you mentioned. Is the switch meant to be run with nero551028.exe instead?

part of my applications batch file:

Code: [Select]

ECHO Installing Nero Burning ROM v5.5.10.28
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Nero\nero551028\Setup.exe /silent /noreboot
ECHO.
ECHO Registering Nero Burning ROM...
REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Nero\nero551028\register.reg
ECHO.
Before that is executed, Diskeeper, Flashget and Kerio is installed. When the nero installation is executed, the setup screen appears, installing files, errors out on one file 'unreg' AFAIK (couldn't find this file in the nero setup directory though), then the rest of the batch gets skipped (where its supposed to install Symantec AV Corp next).

I don't think any of the Nero setup files are corrupted, because I copied them again from the CD when WinXP was fully loaded (shell, and background applications) and installed without a glitch http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':blink:\' />
