@crawf
I'm aware of this issue, just waited for someone to mention it. :rolleyes:

You get this error because you search for additional Template Packages and the script doesn't find any.

Replace this line

RunWait ( @ScriptDir & "\" & $TF & " /S" )

with

If Not $TF = 0 Then RunWait ( @ScriptDir & "\" & $TF & " /S" )

to get it working with whatever settings you use in the script.

@yadzil & Gorki
You're not alone, I hope someone can solve this problem too.

Thanks for that, it works a treat now!

if /passive used instead of /qb!, it asks for restart.

finally, use 7zip or winrar to create installer and repack to the normal size.

I can't find the temp map where nero extracts his files too. Can someone tell me where this is so i can put the extracted files on dvd so the installation will take less time.

Nero folder is extracted to:

may I recommend ImgBurn as a nero alternative? I have been looking for something to replace nero since v7 came out as horrible bloatware...

and two days ago I found ImgBurn.

ImgBurn really impressed me... its burns several times faster and it is extremely light...
The one drawback. I don't think it can make an audio CD from files...

to find temp directory, type %temp% or %tmp% in cmd prompt.
will try imgburn. is it supporting bootable disks and multisession? i use ultraiso to create bootable disk.

CEoCEo, with your script for Nero 8.1.1.0, the installation of Nero 8.1.1.0b is stopped on first
screen (Nero Ask Toolbar window).
I think that something is missed in the script.

EDIT: Updated script again... 2.11
Minor internal changes regarding reboot prompt issues in any language.

Please test and report back your results.
Script is found in my signature :hello:

Thanks 'CEoCEo' for the script. I will get back with the feedback after I get a chance to use it. I do have one suggestion/request, could you please modify the script so that if one leaves the UserName and CompanyName blank then the default is picked up from the system.
I think the following should be changed,
from:

$UN = "UserName"
$CN = "CompanyName"

to:

$UN = ""; UserName
$CN = ""; CompanyName

Thanks.

Really strange :blink:

, it's working here...look at line 118 regarding the RunOnce sequence.
I'm using commands other working scripts are using, simple @AutoItExe to specify where the script is located even if it's compiled or not.
Does this script work for anyone?

WPI... I got the RunOnce pop up from the autoit installer (it exited on its own) then WPI continued installing the rest of my programs. On reboot Nero setup restarted, it extracted and installed successfully.

Maybe I can implement this…

It’s extracted to the environment variable %TEMP% together with generated folder NERO*

Thanks again ricktendo64, that’s exactly what the script is intended to do. Maybe we all can conclude that this script doesn’t work @t-12 or @t-13? :unsure:

I tried the script in a real unattended install and I am glad to report the installation went of perfectly, except for one small problem:

$UN = ""; UserName
$CN = ""; CompanyName

which seemed to work fine with the Nero 7 scripts, does not work here and I ended up with blanks where there ought to be the User and Company names. I would like to point out that I had simply made the above change to the scipt myself, so in case there are any other required changes that were made by CEoCEo to make this work, then that may be the problem. I compared my script with that of CEoCEo and my simply just making the above change is not enough since the script requires further entries to make it work. Lesson learnt, in future be more careful.

Thanks.
