Ahead laest build for Nero 7 is build 7.11.10.0. The installer is MSI based.

You can extract the MSI from the installer easily. When you run the "Nero-7.11.10.0_all_update.exe" installer:

When the 'Nero Ask Toolbar' dialog pops up:



switch to Windows Explorer and look in the "c:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Local Settings\Temp\" directory, where <USERNAME> is the name of the current logged in user. It has a similar subdirectory like "NERO14992" which contains three directories:

Cab
Redist
Setup

The root of this directory contains several language related transform files, related files and the 'Nero.MSI' file for which we have to make a transform file:


 Since Nero7 is dependent on DirectX 9.0c, so you have to install this upfront. It's best to include this one in your base image, but if you haven't the "DirectX End-User Runtimes (March 2009)" can be found here. Installation can be done by:

 - extracting the archive to e.g. ..\install\DirectX
-  run dxsetup.exe by using using 'start /wait dxsetup /silent'

These public properties must be used for an unattended installation without the Nero Scout:

TRANSFORMS=1031.mst

ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT=1
ALLUSERS=2
USERNAME="Username"
COMPANYNAME="Company"
USERSEL="6"
STARTMODE="-1"
FAMILYNAME="Nero 7"
STARTPARAM="CallFromExe"
DONOTRUNSETUPX="1"
PIDKEY=xxxxxxx
SERIALNUMER=xxxxxx
SERIALNUM_USERVAL=xxxxx
NERO_SCOUT="FALSE"

Optionally remove the NeroAg_RunFileAssociationsDialog custom action from the InstallExecuteSequence table. That's an action which pops this dialog:

 

 Also remove the MedialibrarNSEABC8A37D.DLL and NeroSearch* rows from the SelfRegEx table, because setting the "NERO_SCOUT" public property to 'FALSE' doesn't seem to work.

This registry key is needed to suppress the "Your serial number supports additional features which are not installed on this system" message when you start e.g. 'Nero.exe':

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ahead\Installation\Families\Nero 7\Info]
"MissingFilesState"="0"
