Here is my fix for various problems I had with using the installer unattended:
nero-8.3.13.0_english_lite.exe /silent /components="*nero_core,nero_core\nero_audioplugins\mausau,*nero_coverdes,*nero_toolkit,!nero_toolkit\nero_burnrights"
nero-8.3.13.0_english_lite.exe /silent /serial="XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" /components=""
del "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Nero\Nero Burning ROM.lnk"
My observations are as follows:
- If the serial number is provided by switch, it will not work in conjunction with the silent switch. It will work if installed a second time.
- My own serial number is 40 characters, not 28 like everyone else is posting. Also, it's apparently not authorized for Burnrights or Wave Editor.
- When using the components switch, "*nero_core" doesn't enable "nero_core\nero_audioplugins\mausau", but it can be enabled separately.
- A near-duplicate shortcut is created, which can be deleted. (What does the /w switch do for nero.exe anyway?)
I've read posts about all these problems in this thread, most without solutions. I hope this is useful to someone.
