i'm trying to install nero 8 on unattended vista but the problem is that it asks for a reboot (e.g windows update) and i use WPI to install nero but after the reboot WPI doesn't run. is there a way to install nero 8 without having to reboot??
i've tried all solutions mentioned above, they work on XP but i want to work on VISTA

this sometimes happens with xp too. If u are starting with a bunch of installations, choose nero to install first.

The problem still the same. I follow step by step as you mentioned.
The message :
"A system reboot was requested by previous software installation (e.g. a Windows update). Please reboot your computer to resume the installation of Nero 8 Demo".

Add this line to your script just before invoking nero installer:

 
reg delete "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager" /v PendingFileRenameOperations /f 

This will solve your problem.

Some suggestions for CEoCEo's Nero AutoIt script. Based on version 2.2

To hide the extracting window, add this to the top of your script:

; Options
AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
AutoItSetOption("WinWaitDelay", 1)

And this right after line 149, before the Else statement:

WinWait("Extracting", "")
WinSetState("Extracting", "", @SW_HIDE)

But this might not work for non english distributions.

Add an option to unregister Nero DirectShow Filters. Something like this:

$UND = 1; UnRegister Nero DirectShow Filters

; UnRegister Nero DirectShow Filters
If $UND = 1 Then
$search = FileFindFirstFile(@CommonFilesDir & "\Nero\DSFilter\*.ax")
While 1
	$file = FileFindNextFile($search)
	If @error Then ExitLoop
	RunWait("regsvr32 /u /s " & $file, @CommonFilesDir & "\Nero\DSFilter", @SW_HIDE)
WEnd
EndIf
FileClose ( $search )

With CEoCEo script 2.2, and Nero 8.3.2.1 I am still getting this error right after Windows XP unattended finishes:

 nero_reboot.jpg (26.9K)
Number of downloads: 21

Install during unattended windows XP at RunOnceEx stage fails with this error:

"Installation of Nero failed by an unknown reason"

Hi artbio!
You get this error because you have a pending file operation that needs to be taken care of before Nero continues the installation process. Nero8 is pretty strict when it comes to the installation part.
Try to place this Nero installer as your first priority in your setup environment to see if you can overcome this error message. It's not recommended to delete the registry entries as givanoff posted. Windows needs to restart to be able to update currently used files.
I will look into your suggestions and release a new version when ready.

Actually I tried that. It didn´t work. I changed the parameter /qb- to /qn. It might be that. When I use /qn your script can't see the reboot prompt, that's my theory.

Or your script can't handle the reboot prompt on the latest version of Nero. I took a look on your script. On the Prompt() function:

; Handle reboot prompt
Func Prompt()
	If WinExists("Nero") Then
		$CL = WinGetClassList("Nero")
		$SL = StringLen($CL)
		If $SL = 21 Then
		(...)
EndFunc

I checked and $SL is equal to 28.

However it installs fine on vmware. The difference is that on my machine, drivers specific to it are installed.

I included an option to force the install of Nero, on your script. It's based on givanoff's information. Tested an working. Actually there isn't a problem with that, since the registry is backed up and restored on AutoIt exit.

And added some other options. I will send you the script so you can look at it and keep the options you want, if you are willing to.

Regards.

WOW!!! Great job artbio!
I'll look into the changes and compare with my current script.

[radix]

Hi CEoCEo. I tried your script many times. It works well, but doesn't delete NMIndexingService.exe and
NMIndexStoreSvr.exe files. After I changed Delete Media Indexing Services section to look like this:

; Delete Media Indexing Services
If $MIS = 0 Then
    RegDelete("HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "BgMonitor_{79662E04-7C6C-4d9f-84C7-88D8A56B10AA}")
    RunWait(@COMSPEC & " /c taskkill /f /im NMBgMonitor.exe", "", @SW_HIDE)
    RunWait(@COMSPEC & " /c taskkill /f /im NMIndexingService.exe", "", @SW_HIDE)
    RunWait(@COMSPEC & " /c taskkill /f /im NMIndexStoreSvr.exe", "", @SW_HIDE)
    Sleep(1000)
    FileDelete(@CommonFilesDir & "\Nero\Lib\NMBgMonitor.exe")
    FileDelete(@CommonFilesDir & "\Nero\Lib\NMIndexingService.exe")
    FileDelete(@CommonFilesDir & "\Nero\Lib\NMIndexStoreSvr.exe")
EndIf

all those files was deleted. Can you update your script with the above code? The only problem is that
taskkill command doesn't work in XP Home Edition.

Hi radix!
Actually I have tested this part with great success in the upcoming release of 2.3. More complicated, but it will hopefully work for everyone.

; Delete Media Indexing Services
If $MIS = 0 Then
	RegDelete ( "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "IndxStoreSvr_{79662E04-7C6C-4d9f-84C7-88D8A56B10AA}" )

I tried that months ago and doesn't work. It works only with taskkill command applied to NMIndexingService.exe and NMIndexStoreSvr.exe. NMBgMonitor.exe was deleted with the

Did you try?

$list = ProcessList("NMIndexingService.exe")
For $i = 1 To $list[0][0]
	ProcessClose($list[$i][1])
Next

Didn't try, but I think my above suggestion will not work. It closes all the running processes with the same name. I don't think it's the situation here. NMIndexingService.exe is running as a service and that's why you need to force the close procedure. CEoCEo's solution looks promissing. However if you want to do it the AutoIt way exclusively, you can do it with an user defined function. Take a look here -> http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...&hl=service
Here is a sample from that topic:

;===============================================================================
; Description:   Delete a Windows Service
; Syntax:   _ServDelete($iName[, $Computer])
; Parameter(s):   $iName - The name of the service to delete
;							$Computer - The network name of the computer (optional) The local computer is default
; Requirement(s):   None
; Return Value(s):   Success - Deletes the service
;								Failure Sets @Error = -1 if service is not found
; Author(s)   GEOSoft
; Modification(s):   
; Note(s):   
; Example(s):   
;===============================================================================

Func _ServDelete($iName, $Computer = ".")
	$Service = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\" & $Computer & "\root\cimv2")
	$sItems = $Service.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Service")
	For $objService in $sItems
		If $objService.Name == $iName Then
			$objService.StopService($objService.Name)
			$objService.Delete($objService.Name)
			Return
		EndIf
	Next
	Return SetError(-1)
EndFunc ;<==> _ServDelete()

Just download the include file from that topic and include it with your script. As an alternative copy the needed functions to your script and call them when needed. This way you will have a unique file.

Thx artbio for your effort, but my code from post #109 works just fine. Thanks again.
Hope that CEOCEo's next script will be perfect.

I am not the author of that function. I merely suggested it. Just remember that.
