Anyone know how to silently install?

it looks to be a installshield setup file, so I would say /s or /s/v"/QN"

besides you cannot have a legit copy of it as it will be released on the 13th of october, you can use /a on the msi-file to create an adminstrative installpoint an then just compress the parts of the suite you want into an 7z/rar or whatever to be extracted in your %programfiles% during install.

dude, wth does that have to do with nero 7?

eirogge, Im sure youve heard of such things as beta testers? well nero uses them also...now im not saying I am one, but I have tested the program only to find out in its beta form I must warn everyone from using it. I dont know how many times I had to reinstall/repair the program...every time I rebooted nero home and burning rom would always have an issue and id have to repair. so for those beta testing, I can only say the best bet is to wait until nero releases it.

That is correct evilvoice.

Although none of the switches you suggested worked for the setup laucnher SetupX.exe

Try NeroSuite.msi (folder Nero 7 Premium) with parameters below.

there is a config file...i forget where, do a search for config.* and youll find it...but it looks like quite a few options can be used there, tho i have no idea how to call it because even tho i set some things in there, the installer doesnt automatically pull from it.

It says I cant run the NeroSuite.msi directly, I have to run the SetupX.exe.

try running the msi with ISSETUPDRIVEN=0. I have no way of testing this nor do I know for a fact, I downloaded the whole huge file and about a day later deleted it for the reasons I stated above, so I have no way of testing anything...I can just give ideas.

Tried to run NeroSuite.msi with ISSETUPDRIVEN=0

still get the message "Sorry, but the installer has to be started with SetupX.exe file"

Talk about one heck of a bloated pig this thing is. I think that the way to do this one is a complete repack. Should be able to cut down the size to about a third or even smaller.

Yeah, I know nothing about doing such things, but it seems its the only way, to repack! They just didnt include any way of silent install (yet?).

try runnin setupx.exe /? see what that does...you could also use a hex editor and see if there is anything that resembles a silent install...I hope this isnt what the final will look like..

Running SetupX.exe /? only opens up the installguide GUI.

I'm not familiar with hex editors and what I should look for

How about trying to run it from a script or batch file?

well, the first couple of lines will just say something about not for dos, win32 only or something along those lines...but what i would do is put it in a hex editor and do a search for silent...and if that doesnt work, then s i l e n t (the spaces are actually "00" in the hex editor,,,and search for that...of if someone would like to post just the setupx.exe file, i could look at it...also, which one are you running (cuz there are 2, or there should have been)

evilvoice: check PM

well, this is interesting...in the setupx.exe file it says that there is a file that will not be available until Oct (the release date of nero 7) so it could be possible that this version is impossible to silent install...which actually would be quite logical since the only reason to use this version is to test out the programs and not really the setup program (as Im pretty sure they have that down pat and I havent seen it change in quite a while, sotheyll prolly just use the old setupx.exe from nero 6)...but yea, from what I can tell, there isnt a way to silent install. At least not through setupx.exe

on second thought, another thing you could try is putting that config.txt (i think thats the name) in the same dir as setupx.exe and see if that works, if not, rename config to config.ini...in setupx.exe it says something about ini file being deleted.

Did'nt work.

Well guess we have to wait for the final release then...

Or use AutoIT, although I don't really like installing using AutoIt.

?

I have finally worked out a way to install Nero 7 Premium, just follow these steps and you will be fine... :

1. Add the following key to your registry:

** Please note the * in front of the serial number
2. Run the NeroSuite.msi in the Nero 7 Premium folder with the usual MSI switches.I used:

this worked lovely for me..

Try it Guys..

it works as stated.

thanks.


Any idea how to stop the reboot?



shark

You can use this too


plus reg key

Awesome !!!, not totaly silent yet, but it works !!

We can do Nero7.7z = Nero7.exe and put in scvpack and install this Aplications in T-12.

Here is another solution i find in one release of ripped nero



put and run in folder that have

-Cab
-Redist
-Setup
NeroSuit.msi

Every thing is OK for me.

It works fine but i can't get not to restart does anyone know whats wrong?

hi!!! if i don't want to install nero incd??? how can i do???

@muiz
why is not fully unattended???

thanks a lot

???

i really hope final version has less bugs than this 'preview version'

thatht's indead the problem you can put the switch /qb but than it asks if you want to reboot

/qb didnt work for me

SO did anyone find a way to select what "components" to install?
or is there only a way to install the whole "suite" of programs?

Also any idea how to reg. plug-ins?

BoardBabe

For my UXPCD i use ripped version of Nero7, that only have Nero Burning Rom7 and StartSmart and have only 58mb.

And then i run cmd file as i post above installed only this components

for plugins use this reg :



thats for all keys that have the keyg€n in it

hahahahahah Great way to be banned fool.

How did you strip it down to just include nero burning rom?

Whats the steps for doing this? Did you also get rid of the Nero "folder" at my computer? (please make a guide...)

@kelsenellenelvian

This is not key number

"Serial7_1127525675"="enter your serial here"

number should look like that

"Serial7_1127525675"="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

How about editing the Nero 7 Premium\Redist\Config\ conf file?

At the top of this file you can INCLUDE or EXCLUDE. Woulod just putting EXCLUDE after components in this file install only the things you want?

hi..
how can i exclude incd fron unattended installation??

in the file conf.txt.. there isn't!!!

thanks a lot

From what i gather, Nero7 is using MSI installer?
Then why not just make a transform (*.MST) - an example of this is Office XP/2003.

Good idea.

Do you have a link for a .mst guide? All I can figure out with office is that you need a resource kit for the app to make a mst?

AdminStudio, or Install-Shield X Pro - these are install makers that can edit MSI's or make MST for them.

see this post Here

shark

with the new Retail version... the system reboot!!!
if i use this row:

NeroSuite .msi ADDLOCAL=ALL PIDKEY=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /norestart /qb-!

the system reboot!!!

i've tested so the command REBOOT=ReallySuppress... but there is anithing that i do.. the computer reboot without control!!!

any idea??

thanks a lot

You try this

first

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ahead\Installation\Families\Nero 7\Info]

"Serial7_1127858803"="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"


next


NeroSuite .msi ADDLOCAL=ALL PIDKEY=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /norestart /qb-!

i'va just try with this...
doesn't work

Do this for me work alltime exelant
