Hi all,

I've used Felix's Nero Custom Install Builder and built an installer with only Nero Burning Rom and Nero ToolKit from the Nero Ultra Edition 6.6.0.6 installer. Build worked fine, install fine. BUT, now, when I burn, I get "Unknown BurnPhase" in the progress window, when it should say "writing to disc". I used to have Nero Ultra Ed installed fully but didn't want all the extra crap, hence using Felix' custom builder. Why am I getting this message now? Please help! Other info: Win2K Pro, Lite-on external CD-RW drive...

Sorry, all is better. I've just used NCAB instead of Felix' and I don't get the Unknown BurnPhase in Nero. I have Win2K, and it worked fine. I have Nero Ultra 6.6.0.6 and it was no problem; as I hoped, NCAB is backwardly compatible. The only thing was that I had to change "setupx.exe" in the .cmd file to "setup". Only one minor complaint: when running the custom installer, there's no "progress" window whatsoever, or any window to indicate that it's running. Is this normal? No biggie, as it's easy enough to check if it's installed, but, you know, for the dummies out there...

Glad you figured it out and it's working for you. Just want to add some further explanation. If you have reg.exe, it will work on Win2k, otherwise it will install okay but will not import any plugin sn, tweaks, or cleanup the registry. Inaddition, there maybe minor application issues (example: nero toolkit lacking png, jpg screen capture saves) unless you already have gdiplus.dll in your system. That's nothing major, but XP users have this DLL already.

To see some progress window on the screen, remove the /SILENT=1 and /NO_UI switches.

I thought I'd let you know: I downloaded the NCAB.rar from Rapidshare. When I Extracted it, my Antivirus (Kaspersky) alerted me with the following message:

D:\My Downloads\Nero\NCAB.exe Infected Constructor.Win32.Delf.g

Maybe you can take a look at this.

[boooggy]

i downloaded too and my antivirus symantec corporate 10 did not say anything.
also NCAB works perfect with nero 6.6.0.13.

It's very probable that the .exe file has some fingerprints the virus also has, making Kaspersky alert the user that it has found something although the file is absolutely harmless.
I just thought I let you know. Safety first!

Thanks for telling me. I want to assure everyone, there's no virus. I packed my exe in UPX and some anti-virus software are not sophisticated enough to make the distinction.

I've now uploaded a new version for 6.6.0.13 and I'm no longer using UPX compression on NCAB.exe so no more false-positives.

Whatsnew:

• Removed German and Japanese help files.
• Added a couple more Autoplay references that I missed.
• Rearranged script internally to further maximize space savings.
This only affects those who keep several Nero applications.

Seem to be havin an issue with the latest 7zip ver20, & your prog complains its not present on the system & asks to install the latest beta?
It works fine while 7zip ver 4.19 beta installed but refuses to work with 4.20?

[Dumpy Dooby]

I can attest to this bug as well. NCAB doesn't detect 7zip 4.20.

I'm reverting to 4.19 right now...


4.19 worked just fine.

[vcBlackBox]

I am aware of that.

I'm working on a mega update to the program so I'll hold off on the fix until then. Stay tuned.

I just downloaded the latest version of NCAB. After following
instructions I click on NCAB.exe and it just flashes a command
window, doesn't give me any options to configure Nero. Am I
doing something wrong?

What version of 7-zip do you have installed? If it is the latest (4.20) this maybe what is causing your problem. There is a known issue with the latest version of 7-zip and vcBlackBox is working on updates currently. Stay tuned.

[boooggy]

current version works fine with new nero 6.6.0.14

[vcBlackBox]

NEW version 2.00:

NCAB and Nero+NVE Builder have now merged into one program. From now on, it will be known simply as NCAB.
Support for Nero Language Packs.
Instructions for Windows XP/2003 localized versions.
Standalone 7-Zip included. (Endusers no longer required to have 7-Zip installed to use NCAB.)
for Nero-6.6.0.14.exe - Recognizes/Removes 4 new CoverDesigner templates.
for NVE-3.1.0.11.exe - Recognizes and remove 6 new French help files.

Enjoy

having problems with NCAB (Nero Custom Applications Builder) v2.00

ive edited for the serials and ive placed
Nero-6.6.0.14.exe
NVE-3.1.0.11.exe
with the rest of the instal files

i didnt remove any components because i wanted to test it all natural to see what the installer would be like in its full state

and the problem is i dont think its viewing the NVE-3.1.0.11.exe file but then im not sure, ive said no to all the installer questions and it created the installer file and the size came out to be 37.8 mb

now have i done some thing wrong because that file size seems a bit small for both Nero-6.6.0.14.exe
NVE-3.1.0.11.exe
to be together ?

[vcBlackBox]

@lost soul

have you tried to installed it yet?

otherwise i don't see any problem with that size. I got 37.8 MB too.

It just so happens that a lot of the files from Nero Package 1 and Nero Package 2 are duplicated. Inaddition, my builder will further reduce the size by creating dummy files for all the help files, NVE Win98 files, and a few of the redist files. Add to that, 7-zip ultra compression is better than Nero's WinRAR. Therefore 37.8 MB is what you should get. Nero is just way too bloated.

@vcBB

Works very nice (2.0) used it twice today, down to 18.9mb or so.............

Don't use NVE...........

Thanks again

[sambrus]

I'm still not able to execute NCAB.exe with version 2.0. It just flashes a command window at me.
