winrar hasnt offered it yet, i dont see them offering it soon.

[SiMoNsAyS]

i agree, let's hope an increment of rar's compression ratio or an upgrade on 7zip sfx modules

[coucou]

@evilvoice: TNX for this guide to be recommended

Just a confirmation.
It is normal that during the install (not UA) i've the 7z extration bar displayed and a DOS windows opened and closed about the end of the installation??

the 7zip extraction box will always be there until the programmers figure out a way to hide it...and I thought I included the command to hide the cmd window with cmdow...but if you dont use that file, then yes, you will probably see the command window open. I dont really watch my computer when it is installing, as long as I dont have to press anything, its good for me...I use this method to save some space without taking anything out of nero to make it smaller.

EDIT: sorry I did not respond earlier, I did not see your post before...

if u use quick batch file converter u dont see the cmd windows

I included the command in the cmd file but i do not include the cmdow file inside the nero.7zx archive because i've it in "c:\windows\system32 folder".
Should i include the cmdow file inside the nero.7zx archive too???

do u mean if the cmd file is converted then the 7z extration bar displayed and a DOS windows opened and closed about the end of the installation will be hiden??
BTW, it is possible to open and mofify the converted (cmd to exe) file? or should i reopen the cmd file modify it and reconvert it?

i suggest that u search for quick batch file converter.

so many many many discussion on it already.

answer all your questions

with my office 7zip method do u see any popup box .... NO..

Here you go, just remeber to add your serial to config.txt and then save with utf-8 encoding. No need for the installer.cmd

i asked by a member of this forum to post a 7-zip config for nero.

[Astalavista]

i think that was me... sorry evilvoice.

[coucou]

Thank you ALL (Astalavista, evilvoice, keytotime)!!!
I had success to totaly silent install w/o 7z extraction display

1) @keytotime: i tested yr config.txt+7zS.sfx files
- config.txt OK
- 7zS.sfx still display the 7z extract.
I had to generate a new 7zS.sfx by following this guide where you're involved too, then i compressed it to 7zSC.sfx it by using upx... It works!!!

2) Now i have something strange.
nero does not register the serial number, i must entering it manualy after the install.
What more starnge is, last week i prepared a nero archive following this evilvoice guide (with the nero.cmd), tested it working many times (except the 7z extraction display problem). Today, i installed it again... same problem is not registering the serial number too.

Is there any way, using this or a similar method, to include the entire Nero suite and perhaps slim down the source somewhat more?

As it stands, the current release of Nero + packages 1, 2, 3, etc. is over 150 megs in size. That wouldn't be a problem for someone with acess to a DVD burner, but for those of us that lack one, that eats of way too much space.

Just installing Nero is a good start, but if you need the other suite applications, like NeroMix, Nero WMA plug-in, etc. it eats up space way too fast on the CD. However, it makes little sense to install Nero with setup and to still have to go back after the unattended has finished and add all the other packages in the suite to it.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

[Astalavista]

untrue the total package size is only 50mb total with all the applications using 7zip method.
I have everything 7zip to a 50mb file. even the help files.
