If that is your case, why do you want it to install from SFX?

Make one big SFX of the whole thing - or don't even bother doing that, just use the original archive.
(using your .CMD or RunOnceEX or XPlode or WIHU or whatever ) Just have it extract silently to any location on HD ("%systemdrive%\install\Nero" for example).
Then the next commands in your silent install should run them (start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Nero\Nero6\setup.exe /whatever /switches).
And the command after that, to delete that folder (RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\install\Nero).

If you still want to shrink more you'll need to create 0-byte files looking on older installers for unnecessary files. If you want only Nero you can replace everything, just leave the Nero folder and I think it will be down 10Mb (Untested)

Can anyone make another "SilentNero6600.zip", like in the first post, but to replace EVERYTHING except the Burning ROM? (Smallest possible installation - no extra crap. Just all burning options, no covers, media, and other crap.)

wait til the 18th, download the official release then remove the components u don't like

Hi I am getting an error. After running my newly made file thanks to your help, i get an error report from Windows that says NeroWEbEngine Application has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for this inconvenience.

AppName: setup.exe

blah blah blah....

you forgot this line in the firstpost:

I assume you already have installed WinRAR so rightclick the installer and unrar the file to C:\nero6600. You'll find 3 important directories C:\nero6600\Common Files, C:\nero6600\CoverDesigner and C:\nero6600\Nero 6. Just drop folders "Common Files\" and "CoverDesigner\" to C:\nero6600\nero6.

Just put those directories in the right map and it works.

Winrar 3.4 too.

i can install Nero 6.6.0.0 using the normal method, but the SFX causes an error.



approximately translated in english gives :

"an error happened in the extraction"
"error: 3"
"the access path cannot be found"
"please reboot your computer or try again"

[Astalavista]

strange... how are u installing nero? in vm or standard install?

where did u download your nero? is it the 80 mb file that simon links to?

[totoymola]

In my experience, I also get errors when I install on VMWare. But its fine on a real pc.

[Adiel]

i've tried simonsays link and other link , both didn't worked ,

and i tried on VMWARE ..

[totoymola]

Well, if the extraction process is the only part that gives you the problem, why don't you try installing from the extracted files.? It is actually the same. The only disadvantage is you will have a bigger file in your disc.

There are several ways to know if the problem is because of the RAR file, or because of VMWare. One is installing your RARed setup on your system using the command prompt. If you still get the same error, then most likely the problem is because of the RAR file.

Personally, I prefer Virtual PC instead of VMWare. VMWare is MUCH faster, but Virtual PC is more stable.

[Adiel]

i already tried unrared , still same error .. and what's wrong with VMWARE?

not stable? never did problems to me :\
