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 box
4. 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):

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

Commandline Uninstallation for Nero 9.X.X.X

%CommonProgramFiles%\Nero\Nero Productinstaller 4\setupx.exe REMOVESERIALNUMBER="XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX-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.

Uninstall String is:

and you can add in a /q or /qb for silent, or silent with bar.

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

Setupx.exe /i /q SERIALNUMBER="AAAA-BBBB-CCCC-DDDD-EEEE-FFFF-GGGG-HHHH" EULAACCEPTED="1"
INSTAPP="ALL"
Remove Single Unit
Setupx.exe REMOVEAPP=unit_app_12
Customized silent installation
SetupX.exe /i /qb SERIALNUMBER="AAAA-BBBB-CCCC-DDDD-EEEE-FFFF-GGGG-HHHH" EULAACCEPTED="1"
INCLANGUAGES="DEU" DESKTOP_SHORTCUT="0" AUTOPLAY="0"

ResultCodes
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.
