Nero Lite v7.11.10.0 & v8.3.13.0

What's this about?

Nero Lite is an custom created installer for the main Nero Burning Rom applications.
It also comes with unattended switches to make it install silently

Why don't you use Nero 7/8?

Nero 7/8 has become bloatware and it's difficult to make the setup program install silently. Also by default Nero installs a lot of DirectShow filters which may interfere with my video recording software.

Why not use another burning program?

When it comes to burning Nero does have an intuitive user interface, has proven stability and compatibility with most burners. It may even supports burning HD-DVD and BlueRay, and it can print Labelflash cd's.
But face it, there are other free cd burning applications in development which are making progress.
If you want a free burning program I can recommend ImgBurn. Its user interface is not exactly like Nero, but it will do all burning tasks just fine.
Recently a new project got my attention: InfraRecorder. InfraRecorder is open source, lightweight and the interface works just like Nero. Although it looks nice, it is not very stable yet.

Do I loose functionality when switching to Nero Lite?

I try to keep Nero Lite functionality as complete as possible, so definitely usability over space. Of course I do remove a lot of stuff, but none of these is essential for burning plain cd's. If you ran into a problem, don't be shy to post.
Micro version is for people who only want a full functional Nero Burning ROM version, but without any extra software like CoverDesigner and WaveEditor.

Where can I download Nero Lite?

[i][b]Are there any known Issues:

Nero 7:
Manually entering a serial with Nero ProductSetup Tool after installation might cause the More features available prompt.
Use [attachment removed] to disable this message.

[color="#4169e1"]Are there any custom unattended switches?

Generally, look up Inno Setup documentation to read about commandline switches. The following list contains switches most used in unattended setup scripts

/SILENT
If a reboot is needed Setup will ask you.

/VERYSILENT
Automatic reboot without asking.

/NORESTART
No reboot, even if necessary.

/USER="UserName"
Specifies User Name

/COMPANY="MyCompany"
Specifies Company Name

/SERIAL="XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"
Specifies Serial Number

/TYPE="SetupType"
Specifies Setup Type. Enter compact and only Nero Burning Rom will be installed.

Heyho, is patent actication included in Nero 8 Lite/Micro? As it's not an elemental part of Nero 8 and uses up some disk space too.

No I'm directly linked to this page:



English and Asian version are working, but the European version gives me this error:

Same for me.... Is there any way to fix it ....?
Thanx for your awsome installer anyway !!

Hey Acheron, can you make a Nero Micro 8 in Portuguese (Brazil) ? Please !

Same for me too.. Would it be possible that you fix that because it's imho one of the big advantages of Nero compared to the free alternatives that you can quickly create a cover for your audio CD. I would really enjoy to see this feature in the near future.

Is there a way in Nero to hide the "Browsers" toolbar and the browser tabs, so that the interface looks like as back in version 6 or so (compilation on the left and file browser on the right)? Because these two bars only waste space in my opinion without adding value. Would be great if somebody has an answer.

Portuguese Brazilian version is included in European installer.

Sorry, i was thinking that the installers have only one language, like the earlier 7.x installers.

Go to File -> Options -> File Browser.
There's the "Show toolbars" option, untick it.

I have already discovered that option, but there are still two "bars" left above the file explorer and I would like to get rid of those.

I saw 8.1.2.0 today

Berki, I tried to do the same thing months ago, but finally I considered it impossible to do...

Thats a fake 8.1.2.0 its not worth the download

Nero's 8 DVD decoder is very buggy. I was trying to watch a movie, and there was a black box in the middle of the screen. I had to unregister NeVideo.ax and use MPC's internal DVD filter.

i am curious, what't better: Nero 7 or 8?

What is bitmap resource optimisations?
Do the neros (micro/lite) have all languages (so i can choose dutch?)

"Bitmap resource optimisations" reffers to the bitmaps inside dll or exe files (symbols, icons) that are optimised in size, to reduce the overall size of the package.

And yes, all relevant languages are included in one of the packages. To be able to choose dutch you'll -obviously- have to download the european version. You may then deseledt the other languages if not needed.

And unless you don't have a BD or HD-DVD writer, there is no big diff. between 7 and 8, so chose whatever you like.
Personally i like the Nero 7 icons more than Nero 8's. But what are icons good for when making CDs? ^^

EDIT: As you can choose your setup/default installation language at the beginning of the setup, i suggest to have the other languages deselected by default. Not many users have a multilanguage software environment.

zeroFX, what do you mean? Normally everything is selected. Only people with enough knowledge do understand what each option is about anyway.

Acheron, can you please post a list of available components for nero lite 8.1.1.0?
thanks.

I think there is a little difference in the purpose of Nero Lite/Micro (to save space) and the setup settings leading to the installation of all languages of the package and so using up space.
I know it's not that much space. But as there are bitmap resource optimisations, it seems a little odd. But that's just my opinion.

Many TNX Acheron
Works like a charm

Here the silent install switches, tested working
When switch "/LANG=xxxxx" is missed, the install language default is English.
