I just get an error report when opening NCAB.exe

EDIT: worked the next time i clicked NCAB.exe, possibly just my xp that ran poorly.

Man you guys are hard core!! I am beginning to love this forum more and more and more!

Okay, after running NCAB in Win98/ME-Compatibility-Mode it now says WinRAR is not installed on my system, but it is (although not in the default location). Do I really have to reinstall WinRAR to use NCAB? I don't want WinRAR in the default location.

Edit: I just copied my WinRAR directory to C:\Program Files\, and now it's working! Maybe the NCAB creator could add a line to the first topic stating that WinRAR has to be put in the default location, and that people who are having trouble with the executing the Nero_installer.cmd should try the compatibility mode.

I took Amanda Krueger's advice and run ncab in win95 compatibilty mode and it worked! Thanks for the tip.

vcBlackBox: I do run an nLited XP but did not remove Command-Line tools.

Thanks

I made/used a shortcut.inf file to get my shortcuts to nero and many other programs to be where I want them. I run my shortcut.inf from RunOneEx After my apps install and before my cleanup.cmd runs.
Maybe not the answer your looking for but have a read of THIS if you would like to know more about using a shortcut.inf to create not just nero shortcuts , but any type of shortcuts with your UA Install or use shortcut.exe to make your shortcuts (info on shortcut.exe also found at the above link).

Goodluck

Wow... this looks really cool!

Considering that I only use the Nero Burning ROM I'll definately look into this when I get home tonight.

@Amanda Krueger
Glad you were able to figure out how to run NCAB on your system. I will make a note of that. Actually the only file that needs to be in "%ProgramFiles%\WinRAR\" is unrar.exe, for quiet extraction.

No need to do anything. If you choose to keep StartSmart or NeroShowTime, your desktop shortcuts will not be deleted.

Thank You very much

May you say more detail, I don't understand what meanings " If you choose to keep StartSmart or NeroShowTime, your desktop shortcuts will not be deleted."

Another question I do not execute this step
"* If you are using a localized (non-English) version of Windows XP/2003,you'll need to perform a
Search & Replace for all instances of the following words:
Start Menu\Programs\
there should be 14 occurances of that word
Desktop
there should be 2 occurances of that word
and Replace them with your localized OS language equivalent.
Save and Exit "
Does it any affection

what he means if you leave these untouched and just let them instal,, the desktop icons will be created

Hi,
Thank you for this great program. It worked at my first attempt.
I have just one question: is it possible to change that ugly default install path - Ahead\Nero - for anything we want?

If you don't own a copy of WinRAR, download UnRAR for Windows Command line freeware Windows UnRAR.

The default installation path is %ProgramFiles%\Unrar

@vcBlackBox
May be can you add some lines of code in your exe to check both "%ProgramFiles%\WinRAR" and "%ProgramFiles%\Unrar"

Thanks! vcBlackBox
Thanks! Lost Soul
Now I know what meanings
But it still can't creat icons
It creat desktopicons, but when langpack has been setup, the icons was deleted
I don't know why
anyway Thanks!

in my opinion i prefer felix`s "Nero Custom Install Builder" Why, because it`s more customizable, but with felix`s method i was getting the "Unknown BurnPhase" error. So i have switched to NCAB where i don`t get the error and for that i thank you vcBlackBox, excelant tool. However, i would like to be able to manualy customise the shortcuts. More specificaly, i use nero only and NCAB gives me the shortcuts;

Nero > Nero 6 Ultra Edition > Nero Burning ROM
Nero Express

i would like;

Nero > Nero Burning ROM
Nero Express

also i would like to edit the descriptions which is possible with "Nero Custom Install Builder" but with that said, NCAB is an excellant tool that gets the job done. I thank you.

NEW VERSION

Version 2.02 2005-06-24
--------------------------------------
- Tweaked code for Nero Package 2, further reducing setup size by 0.3 MB.
- Updated SFX to v4.20. Some cosmetic changes.

[vcBlackBox]

@Neanderthal

I didn't choose those paths, those shortcut paths are Nero's defaults. I can't offer those types of customizations like Felix's method, because I'm not altering the way Nero install itself other than creating dummy files for those applications we don't want to install. The unknown burnphase error is most likely a missing registry entry.

But you can edit yourself, by putting this in Nero_Installer.cmd

move /y "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Nero\Nero 6 Ultra Edition\*" "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Nero\"

Well, I finally got a chance to try this app out... but when I try to run it, I get the error (in a bright red, I might add... )

ERROR:

Nero Package 1 was not found in this directory.
The minimum version is Nero-6.6.0.12.exe or higher.

Press any key to continue . . .

The Nero-6.6.0.14.exe file is located in that directory. I've edited the .cmd file as instructed, but that shouldn't have anything to do with this (I don't think). I'm running an administrator account, and I've tried running NCAB.exe in compatibility mode for Win95 and Win98.

Any ideas?

[Xable]

@vcBlackBox, oh i see. So the only way to modify the shortcuts is to move them after they are created, i`ve put that code in Nero_Installer.cmd but the shortcuts don`t get moved. Never mind not realy a problem to move them manualy though. Thanx.
