Agreed! Been using it for years.

To the author of NERO lite

I have just found this thread and i am downloading as we speak for use in my WPI Project.

THANK YOU for your hard work.

Can i please confirm if the following switches should work for V7 & V8 respectively.

V7
nero-7.11.10.0_english_lite.exe /NORESTART /USER="The_Flying_Scot" /COMPANY="Home User" /SERIAL="XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" /TYPE="Full"

Question 1

are the quotes marks required

Question 2

can i rename the file to just nero7

giving

nero7.exe /NORESTART /USER="The_Flying_Scot" /COMPANY="Home User" /SERIAL="XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" /TYPE="Full"


V8
nero-8.3.6.0_english_lite.exe /NORESTART /USER="The_Flying_Scot" /COMPANY="Home User" /SERIAL="XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" /TYPE="Full"

Question 3

are the quotes marks required

Question 4

can i rename the file to just nero8

giving

nero8.exe /NORESTART /USER="The_Flying_Scot" /COMPANY="Home User" /SERIAL="XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" /TYPE="Full"

The answer to all the questions is yes, you need to use quotes and you can rename the setup file to whatever you want.

Just notice that you need to use the silent switches /silent or /verysilent

Also, you can check the beginning of this thread to find other switches if you only want to install some components.

Nero 9.0.9.4c

@john2007: nice to see you can't read!

Hi,

As a lover of Musepack audio format, I updated its MauSau plugin. In case one's interested, I provide it here:

nxMyMPC audio plugin 1.0.0.34 (unofficial)

changes :
- obviously, updated to mppenc 1.16/mppdec 1.95e
- changed all occurences of "MusePack" to "Musepack" (the correct writing)
- bumped version number and build date, added notice of my update

tools : Resource Hacker, cabarc.exe, hex editing

Cheers

Well, Nero still have not released any update for Nero 8. I think they abandon it. Shortly after release of Nero 9 I experimented with the new audio plugins and they seem to be compatible with Nero 8. I'll look into making a new version of Nero 8 Lite with the Nero 9 audio plugins included. I will not work on any Nero 9 Lite version, but anyone is free to use the SDK as reference material for building one.

I haven't tested these plugins, but it should be from far a better alternative to MauSau plugins.

For example, I heard about audio CD creating problems with Musepack files and MauSau plugins, and I can't fix this kind of problem since my only tools are ResHack and hex edit :\

Acheron that sucks y would you not keep going and start on 9 ? I've been using Nero Lite for a long time from the begging of Nero Lite 7 it would suck just for you to stop with 9

We should be happy with anything that Archeron is willing to do, not unhappy about what he won't do. He's doing this for free, you know.

how about you be patient or find a way to make it yourself then

there is probably a very good reason why he doesnt feel like bothering with it right now

Stop complaining and do it yourself. Actually, you should talk to Ahead (Nero), because you would not need a "lite" installer if they could create a better installer.

...

You answered your own question

You don't need double quotes as long as your path doesn't contain spaces. In the command above, you only have to enclose the serial number.

...

Try

or

Does the latest Nero 8 Lite Lite include the Nero Recode application?

I pretty much only use only the burning features and this to reencode a DVD.

If not, how hard would it be for me to add it in? I am a programmer and have done some scripting, but does the author of Nero Lite provide the AutoIt scripts so that others can customize

Here is a pic of my VISTA Start Menu.............this is what you get out of the box, version 8.3.6.0 1.17.2.2

So no Recode............but I am not smart enough to help you with adding it, sorry.

nero 8.3.13.0 is out

yep Nero 8.3.13.0 is out

I used the sdk for it... http://updatepack.nl/nero_lite/NeroLiteSDK-1.17.2.2.7z
And work fine...

im waiting for Acheron's update

me to !

instead of waiting for acheron, i'll try the SDK first

I was testing Nero 8.3.13.0 and it seems Nero finally fixed the VC++ fixed dependency problem. You don't need to install the VC++ 2005 SP1 runtimes anymore if you have .NET 2.0SP1 or any higher version installed. I will still include these runtimes for users who don't have .NET installed or can't install the latest version (Windows 2000).

Nero 8 Lite 8.3.13.0 build 1.18.0.1 changelog
- fix updating existing installations.
- update SQLite -> 3.6.7

I checked your site, but you haven't updated the installers.

Thanks.

hi acheron, i've been using your latest SDK (NeroLiteSDK-1.17.2.2.7z) with Nero 8.3.13.0 (Nero-8.3.13.0_all_update.exe) ...

here's the sequence of what I did...

1) NeroLite_prepare.cmd <-- Working, only that the micromize nags the code signing error, whcih is ok

2) NeroLite_english.cmd <-- Not working. Errors are "Unknown option: /dLite" and "Unknown option: /dMicro".

Just curious if this SDK works fine on Nero 8.3.13.0?


Note: In the prepare script, the msg stated to "Choose advanced installation, abort after language selection dialog."

However, this NEro doesn't have advanced installation, it only has Typical and Custom. So, I chose "Custom" and exit after language screen (default of English already pre-selected, so i just exit).

** Update! ** I've finally found out what's the problem! See post below

Did you run the install script in Tools directory?

yes ...

i went to the site also i don't see the new builds post it Acheron

just be patient, Acheron usually releases all 6 flavors:

English-Lite
English-Micro
Asian-Lite
Asian-Micro
European-Lite
European-Micro

Probably he's still fine-tuning the packages before release for our 'consumption' All in all, it's a total of ~180MB of upload.

hi Acheron,

I've finally found out what's the problem ...

At first, I created the nero SDK folder in a few level deep folders at c: drive (e.g. C:\Documents and Settings\{userid}\Desktop\nerosdk) ... the scripts failed ...

then I moved the entire nerosdk folder into D: drive (root) ... still failed and i noticed even less files are parsed during micromize ...

again, I purposely moved the nerosdk folder into C: drive (root) ... seems that more files are parsed and looks 'normal' ... finally, i use the NeroLite_english.cmd, and surprisingly the script worked and created 2 additional ISS scripts at nerosdk's root. Continuing the process, I used the NeroLite_compile.cmd and voila! there's Nero Lite and Nero Micro created in the Output folder!!!

Curious:

1) Why are the scripts so picky on where the nerosdk located?

2) Where is the script to edit so that it won't nag the code signing? Maybe there'll be an option (in newer SDK) to choose whether to use code signing or not.


Oh BTW, the custom Lite/Micro packages worked. However, after finishing installation, there's still a dialog box asking for serial number.

Final Lite size: 33.4 MB (35,057,619 bytes)
Final Micro size: 20.7 MB (21,796,819 bytes)


THANKS!

Just in case somebody thinking to request Acheron to consider 7-Zip SFX (my first thought as well when using NeroLiteSDK), I did more testings & comparison using 7-zip to recompress all the files from Nero Lite/Micro (files are purely extracted in a crude way using Universal Extractor) ...

Micro files: 66.4 MB (69,630,264 bytes)

Micro (IS): 20.7 MB (21,796,819 bytes)

Micro (7Z): 19.4 MB (20,409,398 bytes) <-- saved 1,387,421 bytes


Lite files: 99.2 MB (104,068,050 bytes)

Lite (IS): 33.4 MB (35,057,619 bytes)

Lite (7Z): 30.6 MB (32,190,283 bytes) <-- saved 2,867,336 bytes


So, the rough conclusion is that repackaging Acheron's Lite/Micro doesn't gain any significant space saving (~1.4MB). On the contrary, repackaging Lite with 7-Zip gained ~2.9MB, which may tease the appetite to repackage Lite (or even Micro) with 7-Zip.

cheers to Acheron for his excellent SDK

I just went to the site and still nothing :/ I hope the serial thing is fixed on this new realease.

Have you tried Compression=lzma/ultra64 in \Script\NeroLite_base.iss?
Nero Lite 8.3.13.0= 31.8 MB
Nero Micro 8.3.13.0= 20.1 MB

I could use ultra compression for Nero Lite. However on older pc's it would take a lot more time to decompress all files.

About .NET VC++ files. These are not compatible. Testing on a Virtual Machine showed that also the VMWARE Tools install these files. Also other software still needs the older VC++ 2005 SP1 redistributable files.


@cybpsych, I don't know why your build failed. Make sure you have enough room in both your temp folder and the Nero SDK folder. About the serial window. Does it enter your serial or not?

I have problem with registration only on reinstall. Last test made in a clean VM was OK.
I solved importing the serial:

"Serial8_1229871550" will only work on one machine.

Tested and works on two different PC's.

Nero 8 Lite 8.3.13.0 is now available from my site. Sorry for the delay, but I did not expect any updates for Nero 8.

Thanks to help from some users there are still lot of things to improve on the existing installer. I will look at each suggestion carefully and improve the installer within the next few weeks

Acheron, I've already found the problem. Details at post #835.

The problem occurred based on where I put the nerosdk folder. The *only* working place where the SDK will work is at C:\ (root). If I put it in other folders/drives, the scripts failed.

about the serial window, it asks for a serial. After i provided it a serial, everything continues to work.

Many thanks for the update.

Thanks Acheron for the update everyone have a good Christmas

P.S. Nero 9 Lite is not in building Nero 9 Lite ever.

What does this mean?

Can You upload new SDK?

What is fixed in nero 8.3.13.0?

Thanks a lot,
Alex

For some reason I can't apply serial on Nero 8 Lite 8.3.13.0 ? Serial input box pops up and it'supressed.
I used this method with previous builds but this one does not go smooth using switches. If I add it manually (on first run works fine),but via switches...no go...



but if I add


serial box appears empty and it's supressed, however when I run program everything is fine and I can confirm my license is there also.

Serial entering should be very easy to do and should work flawless everytime you try it.
This is not the case with the current implementation. I've tried it many times on real machine and on virtual. Sometimes, the serial just won't enter and I have to to to the Control Center and add the serial manually (very NOT unattended). This happenes especially when the computer i'm installing Nero is working on something else.

This will only work on machines which had Nero installed before, but it won't work on machines that never had Nero installed.

Cheers

It was tested on a laptop which have CD-ROM drive (can not write on CD or DVD, just read), so last month when I installed XP Home on it, I skip Nero.

If you know of some other way of automatic serial entering please show me. Nero 8 Lite is open source so any help is appreciated.
