I have updated Nero 7 Lite to fix most of Windows Vista compatibility issues.

Nero 7 Lite v7.7.5.1 Revision 1.7.2.2 changes:

• Added workaround for Nero activation (FATAL ERROR when using DEMO key)
  
• Improved Windows Vista installation support.
  
• Improved automatic language selection
  
• Minor fixes

Please visit my site for links to download. Localized versions are available.

I will update this opening post later. The previous thread is locked because of too much offtopic talk. Please report only problems with updated Nero 7 Lite in this topic.

Thanks Acheron.

I tested English Lite and Micro on Vista x64, both functioned as expected.
Your work is appreciated.

Sorry for my poor english

McAffee don't like process.exe, my solution for the serail


EvalSerial=1C80-7619-10E5-477X-4042-577K-K1AM

This is not a valid serial but don't crash nero at the first launch.

at the first launch it offered to register nero.

process.exe is not a virus. It's the only foolproof method to make sure nero.exe is closed during installation. See also http://www.beyondlogic.org/solutions/proce...processutil.htm for more information about this wonderful program.

I know that ' Process.exe ' is not a virus, but Mcaffee does not know it!!
it causes a crach during the install.

Try the methode with psvince.dll, test if nero is load at the begining of install

...
Source: psvince.dll; Flags: dontcopy

[Code]
function IsModuleLoaded(modulename: String ): Boolean;
external 'IsModuleLoaded@files:psvince.dll stdcall';

function InitializeSetup(): Boolean;
begin
IF Result = Not IsModuleLoaded( 'nero.exe' ) then
MsgBox(Nero est actuellement en cours d''utilisation.' + #10#13+
'Fermer le et recommencer l''installation.', mbInformation, MB_OK)
else
Result := True;
end;

Nero.exe is launched during installation. It is part of the Activation workaround. I haven't found another easy solution to kill Nero.exe on all Windows 2000, XP and Vista versions than launching a helper utility.

thanks for the new build, will try it in a few hours.
by the way, have you figured out the debug.txt issue? i read somewhere that changing the Merits of Nero Codecs solves this but i havent tried.

Hello,

What is the difference between Nero Lite and Micro?

Nero 7 Micro is only Nero Burning Rom + Express and Basic Audio and Video-plugins.

Nero 7 Lite features exotic Audio plugins (MauSau), Nero CoverDesigner + Labelflash support, Nero WaveEditor and Nero Toolkit.

Most people would want to go for Nero 7 Micro I think.

Hi @ all,
I just installed updated Nero Lite (Revision 1.7.2.2) and it finally works on Vista Home Premium!

@ Acheron,
thx 4 the great & fast work!!!

Greetings from Germany

[mutante]

Thanks pour this version.
I'll tried the french version

[avoidz]

Thanks for the recent 7.7.5.1 update - I'm using the Micro edition.

I really really appreciate the work gone into stripping down the (now) bloated Nero to something more useful

190 MB for the latest Vista-compatible version??? wtf...

confirmed. latest revision works very well with vista ultimate. the only setback is that the debug.txt issue is still present. i will try changing the merit of all nero codecs to "not use". you should try it with the installer so everything will be flawless on a next release.
thanks for the good work.

elajua, so far you have been the only one that reports this issue. I can not reproduce the error. You might check if you have some other programs conflicting with Nero. The creation of a debug.txt file is now considered a minor issue. If you can provide a workaround for it I can add it to Nero 7 Lite.

Thnx Acheron, gonna try spanish version.

Acheron I tried Nero 7 Lite v7.7.5.1 spanish edition using the installation switches: /VERYSILENT /USER="XXXXXXX" /COMPANY="XXXXXXX" /SERIAL="XXXXXXX" on a clean installation of WinXP SP2 on a virtual machine (using VMWare) and I get the following error:

Annita, try importing the serial using a reg file to see if it solves that issue. i remember that it solved it from a previous version of nero.
