Disabling Nero Scout IN VISTA

[nrms]

Anyone worked out how to disable Nero Scout under MS Vista yet?

regsvr32 /u "%COMMONPROGRAMFILES%\Ahead\Lib\MediaLibraryNSE.dll"

doesn't work, it just gives an error message. Nero seem to have disabled access to the properties page, and I can't get the Options to open either. Looks like they are DETERMINED to force Nero Scout on us whether we want it or not.

Hi nrms

Start your PC in safe mode (F8) and then run:

regsvr32 /u "%COMMONPROGRAMFILES%\Ahead\Lib\MediaLibraryNSE.dll"

Removes Scout from Vista

Nero Scout must be one of the most unused and unwanted programs ever written.

That worked just fine; Thanks!

Pity Nero can't take the hint from its users....

go to start menu>All Programs > Accessories

(y'all pays attention, this hered tha impert'nt part)

RIGHT CLICK "Command Prompt"

select "Run As Administrator"

in the command prompt window, paste:
regsvr32 /u "%COMMONPROGRAMFILES%\Ahead\Lib\MediaLibraryNSE.dll"

delicately tickle the "Enter" key and wish it into the corn fields.

for some reason, even if you're running under an administrative account, you essentially have to "sudo" to get a command prompt running in the right context.

go figgure...

I'm sure after I've been using Vista for a year or so, I'll feel a little more accustomed to it's quirks, like having to approve every time I click on a control panel.

Just installed -- very minimally -- 8.3.2.1 under Vista Ultimate SP1 (32-bit).

The path has changed somewhat. Try:

Code: Select all

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

I got a "succeeded" dialog with that.

Don't forget also to get rid of the indexing service (if you like):

Code: Select all

sc delete NMIndexingService

Need to be full admin / elevated for that, too.
