Nero Burning Rom 10.5 problem

[JohnMirror7]

I tried to capture Nero Burning Rom 10.5 on a virtual machine with Windows XP SP3.
All goes well but when I try to start the exe it says:

I press ok and:

And nothing else...

Just a question. Have you started application between pre and post capture?

[JohnMirror7]

Of course, a few times. And it started fine each time.

So it's not a problem with Nero installation.

I tried to capture 5..6 times with different ThinApp settings. Same problem.

If there is anything that will help with the debugging I am willing to try...

PS: I forgot to mention, on the same virtual machine I tried with Nero 8.3 and it worked much better. So I don't think there is a problem with it...

Just curious.  Does the user you're testing with have admin rights on the machine?  I have had trouble with non-admin users on XP having the ability to use different burning softwares.  May not be related but thought I would mention it.

[JohnMirror7]

Yes, he has.

I was the one who installed Windows XP on the computer and I didn't create other user accounts.

Good morning,

I have the same problem (1. error failed to create process default activation context, 2. unable to load dll - mfc80u.dll).

I captured on a Windows 7 32-Bit MUI (EN, DE, FR) VM with Nero 10.0.

Did you find already a solution?

[JohnMirror7]

No, I haven't.

[tradsd]

Unfortunately I did not find a solution.

Nero Burning Rom relies on a driver to work right. Virtualizing drivers is not supported by thinapp yet. You may be able to install the driver locally.

• Drivers – Drivers cannot be virtualized as they are Windows OS Level controlled components which must interface with a logical or physical device. Applications which install drivers, however, may still be virtualized with ThinApp as the drivers can usually be installed natively to the OS while the rest of the application remains virtualized. Adobe Pro is a great example of this as the Print-to-PDF driver cannot be virtualized but the rest of Adobe Pro can still be packaged with ThinApp. If the driver is installed natively, the virtualized Adobe Pro can still utilize the driver and will automatically enable the functionality based upon if it sees the driver installed.

Yes you can but something goes terribly wrong in the capture process using Neros official installers

To make that really clean capture! - I know you want that..

1) Install Nero using your official installer
2) Register Nero & export licence values from registry / HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Nero\Shared\NL10
3) Reg duplicate for Wow6432Node in case build is intended for x64 / HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Nero\Shared\NL10
4) Then you guys head over here / http://install10.nero.com/update10/content.xml
5) From this page you can see current Nero updater files & links which you need to puzzle together

This is what you need (note: numbers may change)

You will need vcredist_x86_2005_sp1.exe
You will need to extract Nero.BurningROM.7z
You will need to extract Nero.CoreComponents.7z

To your VM import Nero.BurningROM/Nero.CoreComponents/vcredist_x86_2005_sp1.exe & registry for your nero license.
You should capture this in XP hence "vcredist" becomes painfully big when capturing in Windows7 especially 64bits.

Install @ C:\Nero

This does work.. guaranteed! & there be no reboot required.
For my own license with Nero ROM when installing locally I use the same method.. it's much better & quicker.

I deserve a "FREE" personal ThinApp license for this great tip! 😃
And if question arise.. "Can I bundle other Nero parts this way" the answer is "YES"

G'luck everyone / build.bat

[ngruetter]

This doesn't work under my configuration. Finally I like to run Nero 10 on Windows 7 64-Bit MUI! Same error messages with your setup.

It only works under Windows XP 32-Bit...Do you have an other idea?

[build_bat]

You may capture on Windows7 x64, you can use XP or Win7
If your ThinApped Nero ROM don't fire up I'm pretty sure your licensing is missing.

Download Nero ControlCenter:

From VM Windows7 x64:
Capture license for Nero using ControlCenter & uninstall ControlCenter afterwards if you don't need it no more (right click .msi/uninstall)
The licensing will remain and of course you must include all files mentioned above except the registry export.
