Vista - Nero Software Doesn't Work

I looked on
http://www.iexbeta.com/wiki/index.ph...atibility_List
it says that the Nero 7 Ultra Edition Enhanced v. 7.8.5.0 says that it is
compatible with Vista. I am having some problems when I try to run the
installation, it gets to the part saying Windows is configuring to do the
setup for Nero 7 but after its done nothing happens. Can somebody tell me
why nothing is happening and can somebody direct me on how to fix this?

Hi,

Sorry for I don't have the link handy, but you could go to their support
pages and look for a cleaner utility and use it for removing any previous
entries.

I accidentally installed v.7.0xx version and went into some problems and
then used the cleaner utility for removing everything and the later
installation went well.

Good luck and hope this helps.

PS: Thanks for the tip shared by others.

I found that the Full install version of Nero (from the website, 411MB or
so) works properly

I've had a lot of problems lately with the recent Nero 7 version that is
compatible with Vista. I sort of resented having to buy such a huge, bulky
program because
it's the only one that is Vista Compatible, but hey whatever.

My advice is to custom install it and I would suggest leaving out 'Nero
Home',
since I've noticed Vista doesn't really like that part of the program.

I've had to use Nero's Cleaning Tool to get Nero out of my system
to get a fresh install.

What Happened? Nero used to be all the rage among geeks as a
CD burning program. Now Nero has gone & gotten way over-bloated.

Good Luck, You may need it,...Frank

I believe now that Roxio, also a huge, bulky bloated program is Vista
Compatible and, based on what I read here, is better in some ways than
Nero, at least for the 64 bit version.

I had no trouble installing Nero 7.8.5.0 into 64bit home premium on a new
system. I did turn off that user account control first and FWIW McAfee 8.5
Antivirus was not installed yet.

I have had similar problems with upgrades of Nero (and also Acronis True
Image) and in each case I found it necessary to delete the "temp" directory
in the hidden "local settings" as Nero (and TI) had left over catalogs that
caused the installation to hang.

from the "search" type in CMD, hit return and cd to "local settings" There
is a hidden temp directory there. I would do a "dir/s *nero*" and look for
any previous or failed installions of nero and remove them - or just get rid
of everything ..

You should be able to delete the "temp" directory (and the files in it) and
then immediately re-create it as in (make sure you are in "local settings"

rmdir /s temp
mkdir temp

I tried for 4 times to install Nero with different configurations and I
could get rid of a relentless
Window that kept coming up saying "Nero Home Has Stopped Working".
I also tried installing it after disabling my AV and SP programs and to no
avail.
So I'm leaving it for now....

I'm going to try InfraRecorder Software, which
is Vista Compatible (it says... and free and open source).
http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/

I'm Not a Linux or open source fanatic by any means. As a matter of fact,
I booted Ubuntu from a CD last night just for curiosity and I was somewhat
unimpressed. I'm starting to see just how much hype there is around all
that.

Free and open source? I believe you get what you pay for. InfraRecorder
may very well prove that to be true, so we'll see. I found Ubuntu to be
extremely bland
and dry-looking compared to Vista or even XP.

Only Eye candy? Maybe so, but when we're at our computers we generally
look at the screen an awful lot, so it's worth it to have a good looking
program.

I appreciate Vista's up-ing the bar on goodlooking desktop graphics. It's
long overdue
and about time. Now how'd I get here from talking about Nero?

Thanks, Frank

My apologies for the typo,...Frank

I should have mentioned not to install home or scout. I have done at least
20 nero installs and starting about 6 or for sure 7 they loaded their
software with the preverbial kitchen sink. At the end of the install
(assumeing you get that far) uncheck all options except quick launch of
StartSmart. I think there are 4 pages of options maybe 5.

Be sure to uninstall nero and delete that temp directory before another
install.
