I have made this installer based on this guideNero 7 Ultra only The Basic's. ,so all credit goes to that author, i just repack it and make some improvement, such as fixing the shortcut and the Demo name issue, and adding command line options support.
This installer is repacked using NSIS so as to get a better size,now it is 44.6M. Still sounds too big,but download it or not, it's up to you.After all ,the original one is 100M+.

Actually,it is not "repacked", it is a recompressed one,like using 7zip to creat a switchless installer,cause the install source are still the msi version created by msiexec /a command from the official one, i just use NSIS to extract it to temp folder and then launch the setup by calling msiexec.exe .Anyway, this one supports command line options, so you can easily deploy it. i have tested it and seems work pertfectly. This installer contains Nero Buring ROM, Nero Tools, Cover Designer and Start Smart with Nero Scout disabled.

Ok,here's the link, directing to my own host. http://2000c.com.cn/Nero714USilent.exe

NOTE: Use it at your own risk, I'm not responsible for any problem that is caused by this installer.

The following are the available install switches:



You can also use /? switch to see the help. For manual install, just double click the installer.

wow great work ! so the french version is available ?

Use this /LANG=FRA switch and you will get frence interfaces in all nero apps,but the shortcuts still remain English. Maybe it won't be a big problem.

Or you could leave it blank,the installer will install automatically according to your system language.

I will test that !
Goodbye.

Hey, this is great, thx. Any way I can rip out the languages I don't need or is there little to gain by doing it?

I can't find any stand alone language files in nero's install source, i guess all language strings are compliled together in one file. So i think it is not possible to do that.

If you guys want to further customize the setup package, i can upload the install script for you. it's easy to learn. Make some modification and use NSIS to compile it, then you are done. As for the install source files,launch the installer,then go to windows temp folder to retrieve them.

I did try this work exelant.


THX Rico.JohnnY


my nero.cmd

and my nero7.reg


or finalization file for 7zip metod

config.txt




now I'm fine

The installer will neither give a restart prompt nor force to restart by default, so you can remove the extra /norestart

For the serial number you can also specify from the switch, no need to add that to your reg file.

works like charm but when i install in dutch evrything but smartstart is in english and i rather would like in dutch
is this possible

this is my cmd:

start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\nero7\Nero714USilent.exe /S /LANG=nld /USERNAME=Dakota /COMPANY=dakotasoft /SN=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
pause

* How small would this package be with only the burning engine installed? So, without the Tools, Cover Designer and Start Smart???

I never use this 'specials'...anyway to rebuild this stuff? Could somebody get this done???



* Gracias, thanks in advance...

Edit: wrong thread, sorry.

Can someone upload this somewhere else please? rapidshare maybe?

Yes, this download location is just crawling.

ive just tested this and it works like a charm good work Rico.JohnnY so far ive had no problems

If thats true , would you be so kind and upload it on rapidshare for us please.

Tested in VmWare with /LANG=FRA
-> Install okay
-> No shortcuts at all
-> Just SmartStart is in french
-> Perhaps a typo but /SN= switch doesn't work, I use regfile and is okay.

Installed on Dutch XP PRO
Only smart start is Dutch , Didnt know the switch for Dutch , i tried LANG=/NL
And uninstall doesnt work properly , it leaves most stuff behind.
/SN= did work for me

EDIT:

It was /LANG=NLD
But still no dutch ( only smart start is Dutch )

test using VMware and retail pc.

doesn't work

uninstall does not work properly
no shortcuts
errors galore when burning.

It can't be.. I have tested in vmware twice and real pc twice too, it just works perfectly,both at T12 and RunOnceEx. No Shortcuts or product key issue found as well as uninstallation .So what language version of OS do you run? Coz the original package is an English one, /LANG= switch just change the UI lang of Nero apps.

Have you guys used the "Nero 7 Only the Basic" method to install a copy of Nero 7 before? If so, maybe it is why your problem occurs, coz I came across the shortcuts and uninstall issues too after following the guide. For the install to work normally based on that guide, you still need to make a litter modification, there should be a cab file placed in the cab folder, rather than deleting them all. you can double click the installer, after extracting, go to temp folder and retrieve the source files, then you should see the difference. Try a fresh install to see if it works or not, do post a reply if you still have that issue.

I will write a guide later on how to further customize the installer, coz I have a weird issue while doing the apps install using Xplode 4.3 and i am struggling with it right now. Xplode aborts midway during the T12 install and i find no error report in the log file, and the xml file is in well format after using XMLspy to check it, so odd.

sorry. did clean install and tried your nero doesn't work.
buggy. good try.

Rico.JohnnY your source version of nero is only english or it's the 400mb version ? because it seems to change only settings in regedit ... and apps doesn't have the right lang files perhaps ...

That was what i was thinking to.
I installed nero in my own language ,and copied the language files and reg file.
With an sfx i get the lang files in place , and run the reg after it.
Now my nero is dutch , but uninstall still doesnt work , cause this nero installs not in the default folder.
Still havent try to burn something with it... will try later on.

OK, i think i have found out the reason.To use a language other than English(the default one), you should specify the language dependent MST file, coz all lang strings are there.

Here's the similar command line i use to call nero.msi

msiexec.exe /norestart /qb /i "Nero.msi" FAMILYNAME="Nero 7" TRANSFORMS="nero.mst" UILANGUAGEID="1033" STARTPARAM="CallFromExe" DONOTRUNSETUPX="1" MSISOURCEFILE="Nero.msi" SERIALNUM_USERVAL="XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" USERNAME="xxx" COMPANYNAME="xxx" INSTALLDIR="x:\xxx\xxx" ALLUSERS="2" NERO_SCOUT="FALSE"

The nero.mst is the one modified from the original 1033.mst, so maybe it's why the issue occurs. The /Lang= switch just changes the HKLM\Software\Ahead\Shared\Language value, and it seems only change the UI lang of start smart. Mannually modifying the 26 MST files by myself is a heavy job , so for the people who want to use other language, just follow the "Nero 7 Only the Basic" guide, and

1.Make relevant changes to the MST file according to your language, then place it at the root of the install point.

2. Place the 307C0B60.cab which can be grabbed from the original install source in a folder named "cab", and place the "cab" folder at the root of the install point, this will make the shortcuts work properly. Make sure the 307C0B60.cab contains a file called AdvrCntr2D6E0B790.dll, if not, find the right one that contains it.

3. Also grab the setup folder from the original isntall source and place it at the root of install point.

4. Use the above command line to launch the setup, make changes accordingly.

Do reply if you still have problem.

Explanation:
original install source: the one grabbed from temp folder, containing tons of cab file
install point: the one created by using /a switch from nero.msi

Download link to Nero714USilent.exe is broken.

@Rico.JohnnY i can't seem to download the file. why is that?

how do i download this file when the langurage is in chinese?

Broken link. Update please.

Uploaded for you :

Nero714USilent

suggestion :
add Waveedit too

It's a little too big for my taste. I have 7.0.12A and it's 18MB. I just can't seem to get 7.0.14 to work. It's driving me nuts.

If anyone's up for it, I'd appreciate one of these, but reduced down to 18MB (or less). Heck, I might even say "Thank you."

only 5 more days till a new version is out! yahoo!!!

Hopefully they will fix the shortcuts in that release?

Cheers

MC.

Dont understand why we have to do all the hassle just to get a decent app. Why cant nero just offer Burning Rom with Tools as seperate download ><

Anywaym how big is cover designer? Because i am sure most of us dont use it as with Scout and Smart Start.

Tools are good to keep simply because one day they will surely come in handly.

i still stick to nero 6 and new version is out too
6.6.1.4

So where did you hear a new version was coming out?

u go nero.com...

I did and saw nothing about a new release...

i say nero 6

It works only with these switches

/quiet /silent /noreboot /sn=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx


try it and it's fast like a space shuttle.
