Integrate and Shrink Nero Package 1: Nero Burning ROM & Nero Package 2: NeroVision Express

PURPOSE

1) Integrate both packages together, thereby removing redundant files and reducing overall filesize.
2) Customize Nero Applications. You choose which applications you want to keep or get rid of.
3) Incorporate your SN and any tweaks you may wish to apply to the final Installer.
4) Automate the repackaging of Nero and NVE using 7-Zip.

INSTRUCTIONS

1) Extract NeroNVE_Builder.rar into the same directory where Nero-6.0.0.13.exe and NVE-3.1.0.7.exe is residing. To be safe, please make sure no other files are present in this directory.

2) Open Nero+NVE_Installer.cmd in notepad and replace /SN=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX with your SN. Exit and save. You may ignore the plug-ins SN section if you don't have one.

3) Run Nero+NVE_Builder.exe and answer a few simple questions.
In a matter of few minutes you will have created a fully customized, registered, switchless, and silent installer.

STATS
Nero-6.6.0.13.exe + NVE-3.1.0.7.exe = 67.5 MB

7-Zip (Ultra) Rebuild (ALL Nero Applications included) = 37.9 MB
Difference: 29.6 MB and 78% better than Ahead's two setup package method.

7-Zip (Ultra) Rebuild (Nero&NVE only) = 26.1 MB
Difference: 41.4 MB and 159% better than Ahead's two setup package method.

Requirements:
WinRAR 7-Zip(latest 4.xx Beta Version)
Windows XP/2003 English Edition

hi your script seems to run perfectly fine, when i tested it the standard way as you stated

but then i altereed it to instal cover designer also,

then on testing it that way i was prompted with this error message

Install Error
NeroBurnPlugin.dll could not be registered

im curious do you know where i went wrong, all i did was remove the section that deletes anything to do with cover designer

this was all that was removed from the

Nero+NVE_Installer.cmd

@Lost Soul

if you want to keep certain programs, you'll have to edit the 0-byte_nero.cmd too.

comment or delete the coverdesigner section.

hmmm, it seems you're having a problem with the NeroBurnPlugin.dll. I would suggest you also delete the last two lines of the 0-byte_nero.cmd where it says

'>"WMPBurn\NeroBurnPlugin.dll"
'>"WMPBurn\WMPBurn.exe"

You'll need to extract from the orginal files again. So you'll need to repeat the instructions from the beginning.

[Lost Soul]

lol yes i added the orginal files for the cover designer, so they wouldnt be zero but he strange thing that hit me was that dll error,,, right now im adding those orginal files back also and retesting.

[Lost Soul]

ok i finished my retest and it works great, with that little alteration no errors at all

nice work vcBlackBox

Great guide and well-documented files to accompany it. - 10/10

Thankx everyone for all your positive feedbacks. I do appreciate it.
Hopefully very little or no modifications is necessary for future releases.

@vcBlackBox

here is an alternative method you may be interested in

[MCT]

nice guide.. 5/5

EDIT: not trying 2 hijack the thread, but could someone send me there nve (original, not shrinked) seems i get a bad download or something from nero, cuz everytime i run the program it crashes after installing it, it only happens with 3.1.0.0

EDIT: nvm

[eagle00789]

I'm currently in the process of testing this method WITH integrated languagepack.

[eagle00789]

Succes!!

Quick guide:

Unpack all languagepacks (wich you want to have) to a directory (like c:\nero_setup)
After every unpack, rename the file setup.cfg to one of the following:

Nero Language pack: LngNero.bak
Nero Vision Express Language Pack: LngNve.bak
Nero Media Player Language Pack: LngMp.bak

After the unpacking of the last languagepack, rename the file setup.exe to LngSetup.exe

!!Continue with the first post of this thread!!

Before you make the 7zip archive, you edit the file Nero+NVE_Installer.cmd

Replace the header with the one below.

I'm glad you found my script useful and adapted for different languages and package 3,
but please remove your serial number from your batch file and mention that the changes you've made was edited by you.
And as a courtesy, please provide a link so users who want to view my original guide can do so http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=40518&st=0

Great stuff... pity I now decided I dont need/want Recode... My Zodiac (Palm machine) wont play 25fps videos so Recode is no use....

Methanoid,

You could use the batch method i wrote (Details here) and then remove the references to recode and nve - you would then get exactly what you want

Done. Updated my new version to remove Recode.

Felix, this is not a knock on you or your hard work, but I think that your foundation (ZileXa method) is flawed.

ZileXa method simply does not account for the vast number of registry changes that occurs during Nero setup. Granted some applications respective reg entries are superfluous. But take CoverDesigner for example, it registers an ActiveX Control which without going thru the normal setup process those reg keys will not be created. Have a look at my cleanup script for Nero/NVE and you'll know what I'm talking about. And those are only the keys I want to get rid of, the number of keys I want to keep are just as many.

In addition, you lose some functionality and plugin capablities as well.
I've tried ZileXa method and first impressions were okay, but upon further testing some functions such as recoding a non-compliant SVCD or VCD video simply fails.

Again, no disrespect for your work, just mentioning some facts and some experiences I had.

Hi vcBlackBox,

I take no ofference and appeciate your feedback and comments. I agree there is a lot of issues with the base implementation, and i am slowly working through them. I like challenges It was like the recode issue - everyone said you can't do it that way it will not work... well after much testing and monitoring i found the dll's that needed to be registed. When you register the dll's a huge number of registry entries are generated. Anyway it is an alternative method and i am working through the problems and bugs as they come to hand. I haven't given up yet and there hasn't been anything that i haven't been able to solve yet....

Having a look at your work, i take my hat off to you - very good stuff... and i need to look more closely at it when i get some time... may give me some ideas on how to resolve some other stuff for my variant.

Anyway take care and thanks again for your comments.
