clean up your nero 8 install...

Make sure the Automatic Updates service is set to Auto and running or installer will fail.

Run these commands to get rid of junk installed by Nero:

CODE
regsvr32 /u "%COMMONPROGRAMFILES%\Nero\Lib\MediaLibraryNSE.dll"

cmd /c del "%COMMONPROGRAMFILES%\Nero\Lib\MediaLibraryNSE.dll"

net stop NMIndexingService

sc config NMIndexingService start= disabled

cmd /c del "%COMMONPROGRAMFILES%\Nero\Lib\NMIndexingService.exe"

cmd /c del "%COMMONPROGRAMFILES%\Nero\Lib\NMIndexingServicePS.dll"
Now notice you get this error logged in the event viewer after using nero:

Quote -
DCOM got error "The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it. " attempting to start the service NMIndexingService with arguments "" in order to run the server:
{E8933C4B-2C90-4A04-A677-E958D9509F1A}

To get rid of this error run:

CODE
REG DELETE HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{E8933C4B-2C90-4a04-A677-E958D9509F1A}
And to get rid of the service in services.msc run:

CODE
sc delete NMIndexingService
And while your add it might as well get rid of the other BS ones by running:

CODE
REG DELETE HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NMIndexingService

REG DELETE HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\{D55E16BA-BBC9-4F7E-A147-E5DFBCC71480}

REG DELETE HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\NMIndexingService.EXE

REG DELETE HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Services\NMIndexingService

 

what the above does after being asked a few times is remove scout and removes all the indexing services added to the system by nero. these get added no matter what and they remain even after removing scout.


also to add there is a hidden folder under users - local - nero... this is a temp installation folder and is nearly 700mb this can simply be made visable after installation then be deleted with out any problems freeing this space back up.. this is one of the reasons nero takes up 1.2-1.6gb when being installed..

 

or you can simply install Nero Micro

 

yes but if you want recode and vision which i use than you need the full one..

 

I disabled some Nero services a while ago, but I did this instead:

Run services.msc and disable Nero BackItUp Scheduler and NMIndexingService.
Run msconfig, go to the Startup tab, and disable NBKeyScan and NeroCheck.

Since I routinely empty my temp files, I never had a problem with Nero "borrowing" 650 MB from my hard drive.

For all Nero users, please remember: This is just fine for users who don't use anything but the Nero Burning ROM, but for people who use Nero Home, Nero MediaHome, or any other Nero media application, the Scout utility is required.

 

i use smart start, burning rom, recode, and vision and all work perfect fpr me after doing this i have 0 issues..

but yeah if you are going to simply install the whole thing anyway imo i would not be worried about one service.. nero is so big that one service would be the least of my concerns..

 

what did you do about the patent check thing man is that annoying??

 

Patent check?
