Feedback and suggestions are welcome - no flames please.

I am aware there are other methods by other MSFN members and each solution has its place and lots of hard work has gone into them. The solutions here are one of a range of alternative - the choice in the end is yours.

Further to the last post pretty sure I was using the right pack, Dled this one & still gettin the same result obviously missing somethin??

Felix see attached ss.

very strange... have a look for the followiing line in your !makeit.cmd file

set rarIt=%programfiles%\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe

and you can test by putting this at the command prompt:

IF /I not exist "%programfiles%\winrar\winrar.exe" cls & echo it's not here

other than that i don't know why it would not be extracting, i haven't changed any of that section of the code. Basically if all the files are in the same directory as nero-*.exe then it should work find. I just tested it here again on my range of machines and it worked fine. mind you i have my winrar in a different location and therefore have to change that variable... but that is it.

Yeah thanks Felix can't exactly see why but seems to skip extraction & moves straight on building without error? of course without the prog files?

ok well i have not been am to reproduce the issue here... but i will continue to test... it is very weird...

AH! hang on a sec - have you renamed your nero-*.exe files? if you have this would be why... the cmd looks for nero-*.exe before it will extract... if you have changed it to say nero.exe then it will not extract.

see the line in the cmd

if exist "Nero-*" for %%i in ("Nero-*.exe") do call:extract %%i

Felix,

i had no idea Shortcut.exe was needed :lol: and i see plugin manager is now fixed, nice work.

MAVERICKS CHOICE,

do you have "nero6608.exe" exactly? i think it needs the dash in there, so you can have

nero-whatever you want here.exe

Glad its sorted :D

Edit,

i know you can use 7-zip instead of winrar, but how would i do that? also is it possible to remove the following files from <Program Files\Ahead\Nero> in the custom installer;

Boo.wav

DingDong.wav

Nero_LS_ENG.CHM

NeroBurningRom_deu.chm

NeroBurningRom_eng.chm

NeroBurningRom_fra.chm

NeroBurningRom_jpn.chm

Nerodeu.txt

NeroExpress_deu.chm

NeroExpress_eng.chm

NeroExpress_fra.chm

NeroExpress_jpn.chm

Nerojpn.txt

Trumpet1.wav

If i can do this i think the final installer size would be 14MB :w00t:

Sory i`m a perfectionist lol

Hi Neanderthal,

Ok 7-zip option i am going to build in a command line switch that you can use to select between WinRAR or 7zip. In the meantime you are welcome to change the !makeit.cmd file to suit your needs.

As for the removing of the other files - yep we can do that. Will be in next build.
