Hi There,
Has anyone else had any problems updating from Nero v7.0.8.2 to the current v7.2.0.3b I wonder?.

First time round I used the Update option in Nero Product Setup, after getting to the dialogue box with the 'Checking Engine', 'Optimizing Download', 'Patching' etc the update was downloaded & then broke into an installation.
All went fine until it was very nearly completed when it found the following, or rather couldn't find the following!;
Extracting Cab\1B05D29F.cab
CRC failed in Cab\1B05D29F.cab
Extracting Cab\1B13EAAE.cab

The installation just rolled back & ended up uninstalling my previous version too!?! lol!.
 
I then tried again using the 122Mb update file from http://www.nero.com/nero7/eng/nero7-up.php and I noticed the above in the cab extraction dialogue box near the end of the update. This time it never rolled back or uninstalled the previous version.
 
Going by a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) would I be right in saying that the downloaded file may have been corrupted or worse and something at my end?.
 
It's a registered (pay & get emailed a serial no.) version of Nero being used & not the trial/un-registered.
 
Tbh, I like v7 a lot but with v6 I never had one ounce of grief whereas v7 has/is giving me a fair amount of bother!?.
 
Best Regards, Esskie.

Don't get me wrong, I like Nero and I'm sure they will eventually get the major bugs worked out, but I too have run into some issues with the latest release (still the MP3 thing is not affecting me)... I kinda Like Nero Vision, but with this release, it won't launch.  I have to kill the process because it lags.  Had similar installation issues as well, can't recall if they were exact.  Burning ROM works okay, and I use that most of all, but the current 7.2.xx release is not at all impressive.  Getting to be a bloated with junk that someone else already does better.  My fear, we'll have to wait until 8.0 until they get it right, but I will keep some faith... they have been pretty good in the past.

Hi S-T (Do I know you from another forum or just here?)
Yeah, like yourself I love Nero as a burning app & have been using it for a good while now!, going back to v5.
After v6 (and updates) which was 'solid' imho, to version 7 I have to say I'm not too impressed by their efforts either mate .
I can't get Nero Vision to execute either my friend yet it shows in Task Manager as running!?, also Wave Editor & Nero Sound Trax haven't worked on this user account since installing Sony Acid Pro 5.0 a couple of weeks back yet Wave Editor, & I presume Sound Trax work on both my son's accounts, one of which is a guest account the other with admin's rights.

It does seem to be a bit "bloated" these days mate huh!?, just looking at whats on the start menu, I mean how many actual shortcuts do you need?. Seriously though, I dunno what you think about Nero Home? but although it looks nice & Media Centre'ish it really isn't required. There's nothing you can do with it that can't be done elsewhere.

Well I hope theres not too many more 7.x.x.x releases before then mate!!

Btw, can you upgrade through Product Setup?, I cured my problem in the last post but only by logging into 'My Nero' & d/l'ing the update again & updating manually as in not with Product Setup.

Regards, Esskie.
