Commandline Installation for Nero 9.X.X.X

1. Download the newest version of Nero 9.x from www.nero.com

2. Start the downloaded installer (something like Nero-9.x.x.x_update.exe)

-> the installer first extracts the installing component before the actual install starts.

3. Open a dos box4. Type cd %temp%5. Type explorer .

-> now you shoud see a folder with the name neroXXXXXX

-> this is the extracted installation source.

6. Copy the installation source

Inside the installation source there are a bunch of folders called unit_app_xx where xx is the application ID.

There are also folders called unit_hlp_xx; these are the respective help files for the applications.

Here is a list of the application ID (=Components):1 InCD3 NeroBackItUp4 NeroBurningROM5 NeroCoverDesigner6 NeroExpress8 NeroImageDrive9 NeroMediaHome10 NeroPhotoSnap12 NeroRecode13 NeroShowTime14 NeroSoundTrax15 NeroStartSmart16 NeroVision17 NeroWaveEditor19 NeroDriveSpeed20 NeroInfoTool21 NeroRescueAgent22 NeroBurnRights30 Nero ProductInstaller (Mandatory)49 NeroMoveIt50 NeroDiscCopy_Gadget53 SecureDiscViewer57 NeroDiscSpeed61 NeroLicense (Mandatory)62 AuthoringTemplates_StarterKit63 NeroControlCenter (Mandatory)64 MovieTemplates_StarterKit65 MovieTemplates_Pack166 AuthoringTemplates_Pack167 AuthoringTemplates_Pack268 AuthoringTemplates_Pack369 DolbyFiles71 Nero Live74 LiveGadget75 AskToolbar

Although not mandatory, don't forget to install the AuthoringTemplates (62,66,67,68). Without the lightscribe folder I received an error when opening NeroCoverDesigner - so also include lightscribe.

7. Simply delete the folders of the applications that you don't want to have installed (AskToolbar and so on).

8. Don't forget the help files!

My installation comes in German, English, French, Italian and Spanish for the following components:-NeroBurningROM-NeroExpress-NeroCoverDesigner-NeroWaveEditor-NeroDiscSpeed

/qb shows a progressbar

This worked successfully for me with Nero 9.2.6.0

Commandline Uninstallation for Nero 9.X.X.X

%CommonProgramFiles%\Nero\Nero Productinstaller 4\setupx.exe REMOVESERIALNUMBER="XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" SX SOURCEPATH="%CommonProgramFiles%\Nero\Nero ProductInstaller 4" CONFIGPATH="%CommonProgramFiles%\Nero\Nero ProductInstaller 4" /q

When the SX Option incl. SOURCEPATH and CONFIGPATH is given, setupx.exe continues directly and lasts until the setup is finished.

Otherwise setupx.exe copies itself and reexecutes its copy which performs the installation process. Errorcode is then 4 and you have to manually check when the setup is finished.

None of the above worked for me so I did a search and came across this manual.

I copied the examples but there are more options in that manual.

Result Codes

Overview

This is a list of the result codes of SetupX.exe. To see all returned result codes evaluate the corresponding log files.-1 Failed to access MSI properties when evaluating result code to return0 Application finished successfully1 User has cancelled the installation process2 Installation terminated with error(s)3 Application finished successfully and a reboot is requested after the installation4 Application finished successfully its first execution which only restarts its copy from the target system, which then does the installation process

Output in CMD

Use a batch file which after the line executing the setupx.exe calls: echo %errorlevel%. NOTE: for installation purposes the relevant final result code can be seen in CMD only by using the SX option, otherwise you will always see code 4 on success because setupx.exe restarts its copy and its result code will not appear (see SX option description too). To see all returned result codes for sure you also may evaluate the corresponding log files.
