Warning: If u try to install Nero and you come out with Demo it only means that the serial you entered is invalid or blacklisted. Make sure you have a valid
serial.
Warning: if your file size is not equal to 26.3MB and it is only 153kb that means the filename of your 7z is wrong. Make sure the filename is "Nero-6.6.0.141.7z"
To Install the keys for all the plugins for Nero you will need a regkey.
Below is a sample of my regkey. Again pls verify that you have a valid serial.

* The 7zs.sfx is from the latest release of 7zip 2.0. I edited it to remove the dialog box (base on keytotime's guide).
* Replaced the icon of 7zip with Nero icon http://img258.echo.cx/img258/8826/snap14yk.png
* Original Filesize of Nero 33MB after 7zip process filesize = 26.3MB
* Result: Smaller Footprint, kept original Nero logo, totally silent, no dialog, no cancel buttons. :thumbup
Re: I created several guides that i would like to share with you.
A repacked version of WinZip 9.0 SR-1
Filename: WinZip.exe
Filesize: 1.92MB
Original Filesize: 3.88MB
Switch: None
* Original Icon maintained. http://img132.echo.cx/img132/2171/snap16jn.jpg
FAQ:
How to install? Just double click or execute via batch or wpi
Where will it install itself? It will be installed in %programfiles%\winzip.
What is %programfiles%? this is where you install your program files directory. It doesn't matter if it is in C, D, E, etc drive.
How do i test this?
Uninstall your Winzip
Reboot your computer
And launch the Winzip.exe
Check your start > all programs>
How do you register this silently?
Create a registry key. With this info below.
* run this registry key from cmdlines.txt
What is cmdlines.txt? pls go to http://unattended.msfn.org and do a search on $OEM$ Folders
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nico Mak Computing\WinZip\WinIni]
"Name"="Your Name"
"SN"="XXXXXXXX"
Name it winzip.reg
how do i install this winzip.reg?
regedit /s winzip.reg
Re: I created several guides that i would like to share with you.
Goal:
* Create a 7zip Compressed Norton Internet Security Installer = 56MB
* Auto Register and Activate NIS2005. Auto 1 year subscription renewal.
* Slash unneeded files to further reduce the filesize of Norton Internet Security.
* Reduce the need to download 30mb liveupdates by slipstreaming updates before
compression. You will only need to download 7mb
Never activate your NIS2005 again. And the beauty of this method is that
the subscription automatically resets to 1 year each time you install NIS2005.exe
Activation
1. Install Norton Internet Security 2005 like you regularly do
2. Note the serial key that you used.
3. Activate your Norton Internet Security 2005
4. Reboot to Safe Mode
Go to "Path=C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\CCPD-LC"
Look for a file "symlcrst.dll" <<--- Registration File Will only work for this particular hardware. Sorry no walk around to this protection method by symantec.
Winrar SFX the file:
Add this to the comment
Code:
;The comment below contains SFX script commands
Path=Common Files\Symantec Shared\CCPD-LC
Silent=1
Overwrite=1
http://img30.echo.cx/img30/2133/snap25ik.jpg
http://img30.echo.cx/img30/2479/snap32kq.jpg
Registration Regkey
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\CCPD-LC\KStore\00000082\0000000f\0000001b]
"Key"="XXXX-MF6T-PQ4D-XXXX-VQJB-XXXX"
replace the "XXXX' with your own key.
Note this will only work with your particular PC.
But you can make multiple "symlcrst.dll and regkeys" and use wpi method to select
which symlcrst.dll and regkey you want to install. :)
How to strip down the filesize of NIS2005 from 205mb to about 53.6mb
Stripping
For Example if you have Norton Internet Security 2005
in folder NIS2005 the files inside should look like this.
http://img106.echo.cx/img106/6042/snap19pp.jpg
We need to delete one file and a folder.
The easiest way is to use the search function
Search and Delete
MSIE Folder
ADBERDR6.EXE File
From 205MB that should cut down the size to 147MB
Updating URLList or Download Here
1. Download and Install all the updates for NIS2005.
2. Reboot.
3. go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Norton Internet Security.
4. You will find your updated UrlList (file)
5. Search your NIS2005 (source file) Folder for URLLIST.exe
6. Right Click on it. and Open it with Winrar
7. Drag the Urllist from C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Norton Internet Security and paste it into the UrlList.exe, [that you opened with winrar].
8. The urllist.exe will now be updated as of today.
Question: why are we doing this?
Answer: so when you install NIS2005 you wont need to download most of the hotfixes and patches. It is like slipstreaming.
If you dont update your UrlList.exe your looking at 30mb + download.
If we update the urllist.exe when it is time to do a liveupdate, u will be downloading
about 7mb
7zip compression
1. Highlight and select all the files in NIS2005 Directory & Select Archive
http://img120.echo.cx/img120/5373/snap26mn.jpg
2. Edit the filename to NIS2005.7z if needed
3. Set compression to Ultra
http://img120.echo.cx/img120/7444/snap32ut.jpg
4. The result will be a file called NIS2005.7z
http://img120.echo.cx/img120/3852/snap49rj.jpg
5. Download NIS2005_Tools.exe
6. Extract the files from NIS2005_tools.rar to the same folder as NIS2005.7z.
7. Click on Run_Me.exe
8. A file will be created called NIS2005.exe <--- Your new 53.6 MB installer.
* pls dont ask about virus definitions. Since you will need to constantly update this
file it is futile to integrate it.
Good luck from Astalavista.
Re: I created several guides that i would like to share with you.
Objectives: To further reduce the size of our Office2003 installer to around 33MB. In Addition to make the installer totally silent with no Gui showing.
Time to accomplish Task: 15~20 mins.
Prerequisites: You must read these articles first!
SlipStreaming 2003
Office 2003 guide
Office Shrink Method by BuckEye
Do not use my method until you have fully tested your office shrunk (office 2003).
Once you have tested it on Virtual PC or real world test then you can use
my method described below. Office Shrink is not perfect. You have to follow
the steps.
Notes: If your planning to install NetFrameWork 1.1 on your system. Pls make sure that you install NetFrameWork prior to doing your office shrink by BuckEye.
Reasons: The way office shrink works is to save only the files you need to install your particular Office package. It is very very picky about how it is installed and such. So pls take note.
Here is an example of a problem that was encountered in my last guide. People did a clean install of xp either real or virtual. Ran the office Shrink program by buckeye. Created their custom installer. But when they tried to install NetFrameWork 1.1 before their Office Shrunk Installer it would fail. Solution was to install the Office Shrunk Installer prior to Installing Netframework 1.1.
In conclusion, if your planning to use Netframework pls install it first before running office Shrink by Buckeye. Then when you use RunonceEX or WPI you can keep the order of NetFramework 1.1 then Office 2003. :)
Instructions:
Tools you will need.
- 7zip 2.0
- SetupMST.exe <- NEW updated
- Office_Tools.rar <- NEW updated
1. Drop SetupMST.exe into Office shrunk folder ( c:\office )
2. Highlight all the files in your office Shrunk folder. ( c:\office )
3. Select Add to Archive (7zip)
4. Rename Archive name to Office2003.7z if needed
5. Set Compression to Ultra
6. Extract the contents of Office_tools.rar to the same folder as Office2003.7z
7. Run the Run_Me.exe
8. You will now find a file named "Office2003.exe" <--- NEW installer
Re: I created several guides that i would like to share with you.
Not bad.
Moved to guides section.
Re: I created several guides that i would like to share with you.
Looks familiar.
Did you got these guides off from MSFN?
Im pretty sure I've used the Nero switchless installer on my UACD before....
Im gonna take a nap now, but I'll be back in this when im a little more awake.
Re: I created several guides that i would like to share with you.
Might be best to make an indervidual topic for each one, or edit the title. Nice guides by the way, very handy if someone is going to make a CD/DVD with alot of apps on.

Sounds to me like this was taken from another site or forum. :unsure:
Not sure though.
Will keep this here until someone finds it elsewhere...
Re: I created several guides that i would like to share with you.
I don't get it. Guess I'm tired. Whats OP trying to teach/show us?
