@neotron no worries man, you're not doing nothing wrong it's just that i'm stupid
i thought on previous versions of nero, with 6.6 you need to follow the method from the first post with Nero, Nero Media Player and NeroVision Express 3. that means 3 different installers and u can rip any1 of those components.

@prathapml yes with the updated serial, demo shortcuts aren't created, only with 6.3 version and blacklisted serials, and it's not the same method as before it's only the same commandline, if it was i didn't need to redo my nero installer and i didn't write this guide

... at this moment i'm trying to shrink the installation but my headache it's against me, some news tomorrow

Wow, as Nero keeps overcomplicatings things, y'all keep undercomplicating them.
And for that, I thank you.

[neotron]

ah, i get it

thx for your help

EDIT: AH! finally thx again

[MCT]

instead of having nero install image drive & all those other things i never use..

if i were to copy \nero 6\nero

can i just use that? it seems 2 launch everything & work .. am i wrong ? wonder if any1 has tried it

EDIT: cuz if i can get this 2 work.. its only like 20MB (which IMO is better then like 200 installed)

I built myself an msi file today for Nero 6.6. I used InstallShield Repackager, using the single step snapshot method. I also made a seperate msi file for the Vision half of the product. The msi file for the Nero end of the product came out to 35.5MB, which kind of surprised me a bit. I thought it would be smaller. I did test out burning to a CD-R and DVD+R and all went well. I haven't tested every conceivable function however. I will begin testing on the vision msi over the weekend.

From Nero proper I removed ImageDrive, BackItUp, Cover Designer, and SmartStart. I did leave the audio applications as they generally suit my needs. From Vision I removed the new Photo utility, Media Home, and ShowTime as I prefer Photoshop, Winamp, and PowerDVD.

After the repack for each product was done, I had to go through the generated registry info and meticulously remove all of the extraneous entries for the removed applications . I'm going to need reading glasses for sure now. And I'll just bet ya they come out with a new version to fix some initial bugs any day now. Maybe next time I'll just run Reg Checkup to find all the invalid settings and use the resulting log file.

The changes I made to the install may not appeal to all. I always install Nero products to \Program Files\CD-R. Thats where I install all CD-R related programs. And the shortcuts are in the All Users menu under CD-R. I'm rather "type A" with my folder and start menu structures in case you couldn't tell.

I don't have any hosting space currently, but if anyone wants to host it, I'll edit the msi to remove my key code and upload. It's obviously to large to email, so requests for emailing it can't be fulfilled.

@MCT
You want only 20 MB installed? That's too much - make it 7 MB.
The way to reduce Nero install-size, by removing unwanted files, and replacing them with dummy (zero byte) files has been discussed some weeks ago.

I already do that - Install only Nero (the CD-burning thing alone, without all the annoying cover-designer, audio editing, etc.) - and its 7 MB only.

can u send me your copy prath? without the serial of course

Sure. When I get home today, I'll re-make it for v6.6 and send it along to your e-mail, or PM you an FTP link.
Might take me till tomorrow, so some time please.

I dunno, if the 6.6 is going to swell the size, though. But even then, it couldn't possibly have swollen by too much. Let's see how it goes....

[MCT]

ok thanks, i dont have an ftp, & my email isnt big.. (i just use hotmail's 2MB crap) lol

ill pm u

[lieblingsbesuch]

hi,

The installer is very cool, thx, but....during an install, an error occurs that says, it can't install windowsmedia, or sth.

i think (no....im sure!) that is because i uninstalled windows media player with nlite (i didnt uninstall the codecs!)

after the error, Nero is working perfectly either. but it's annoying.

any chance to get him away?

[MCT]

yes, i get that windowsmedia error aswell, im looking into it , i will post back if someone hasnt found a solution

[SiMoNsAyS]

First post it's updated
about windowsmedia error, sorry i haven't had that problem, probably the same problem occurs with the normal installation of nero 6.6. try replacing that file for other one so you don't have that problem also if you already have installed windows media you can replace it with a 0 bytes size file (about -3mb). good luck!

@SiMoNsAyS

Title=Nero 6.3.1.25 Spanish Language Installer

change the title to 6.6.0.0 (or is there another version for Spanish)

[SiMoNsAyS]

@MtK it's just an example you can put

Title=The MtK's language pack

or anything. at the moment i haven't seen any language pack for nero 6.6 so i used my old langpack installer

I just thought you mispelled it...

If you read the instructions again, it says...

Go to C:\nero6600\Nero6\ and select all files, rightclick on 1 of them and select "WinRAR>Add to archive" create a new SFX file with this comment:

SO you probally selected the ENTIRE suite, instead of just the Nero6 folder.

[MtK]

right, you need to RAR the content of the NERO6 folder, not the folder itself...
