Since we all know that Nero is getting more bloated with every version they publish, I decided to continue where Acheron stopped. I created lite installer of Nero 9. But my installer is quite different from his. I created my own installer, so I’m not using Inno for it, and I’m not considering using it because this way it’s easier for me.

Nero Lite installer includes following products:

– Nero BurningROM (Included in Micro version);
– Nero Express; (Included in Micro version)
– Nero Cover Designer;
– Nero ToolKit (DiscSpeed, DriveSpeed, InfoTool, BurnRights);
– Nero WaveEditor;

To use Nero 9 Lite you need to have valid serial.

Nero Lite installer information:

– Size: 42.99 MB
– MD5: 724ae24993665fe994a6e8fe1ed8d6b7

Nero Lite installer – Micro information:

– Size: 28.79 MB
– MD5: 6f5a61c1f6ac83789c6cc0cb446b345f

Nero Lite Multilanguage installer information:

– Size: 46.33 MB
– MD5: 9dd40a1c8835a9729d1ad4c81525fcba

Nero Lite Multilanguage installer – Micro information:

– Size: 30.94 MB
– MD5: e365e773df18d7aa10dc34a53d5e11ee

Nero 9 Requirements:

– Windows Installer 3.1 or higher
– Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable

The size of this installer is larger then Acheron’s because Nero files are now bigger.

To install Nero Lite completely silent use the switches in this way:

To install Nero Lite completely silent with only Nero BurningROM and Nero Express use the switches in this way:

To install Nero Lite Multilanguage completely silent use switches in this way [English language will be installed and selected]:

To install Nero Lite Multilanguage completely silent with additional language use switches in this way:

yourlanguage needs to be replaced with your language in English form. Here is example:

First letter in the name of language must be capital letter (Example: Spanish is OK, spanish is not OK). Selected language will be also activated as default in Nero.

where XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX represents your serial. You need to enter it with dashes. If you did not type switches correctly or you did not enter serial in correct format installer will not start installation, and you won’t get any message that installation did not start.

Uninstaller is also included, but it won’t be showed in Add/Remove programs. You will have the shortcut in Start Menu of it and you can use the installer for uninstall. After uninstall you will probably have to reboot (you’ll get prompt if needed) because some files are in use and can be only deleted after reboot. Do not try to install again Nero if you did not reboot after uninstall, because commands are added which will delete remaining Nero files/folder on next reboot.

It is also recommended that you use General Nero Clean tool if you used full original installer of Nero 9, so you can remove all junk. The tool can be found here.

Tutorial for creating addon (svcpack, RunOnce)

If you find any bugs, report it so I can fix it. Also, one note. Installer will write serial automatically using Nero ControlCenter. If this does not work for someone use manually Nero ControlCenter to enter you serial, and report here that it does not work so I can try to find another way.

If your antivirus reports that Lite or Lite – Micro installer, or Uninstall.exe is some kind of a virus that is false positive and you can ignore it.

KNOWN ISSUES: Links in the programs do not work and probably will not work for the future version since Nero made it hard coded. For example in Nero Express, link “Switch to Nero BurningROM” will not work.
