End of Nero Lite

As no further updates are released for Nero 7 and Nero 8 its time to bring this project to an end.

With the release of InfraRecorder 0.50 there is now a program which is open source, easy to handle and doesn’t bloat the system with software you don’t use that much.

In fact, I hardly burn anything since my new car radio reads audio directly from SD-cards.

Of course I release a last update as I promised earlier.

Nero 7/8 Lite build 1.20.0.0 changelog
- update Inno Setup -> 5.3.4
- update VC++ Redist installer (KB973544)
- minor changes

Thank you for making nero small&fast – the way it should be. Too bad 9 is too big to “handle” and project is over :/. Thank you very much and best luck from Poland.

Thanks for all your work. Without it Nero would have been un-usable.

Nero is now completely dead.
migNAz on August 25th, 2009 14:52

thnks a lot man, really appreciated your hard work over the last years, a remarkable example of how softwares devs should work if they at least used their own softwares… i do fiercily believe that nero devs at home use nero lite ^^
thnks again and take care, good luck on your next projects in life, you will be missed here \o/

Hi Acheron

Thanks for all the time and hard work that you have put on making Nero 7 & 8 usable and bloat free. Too sad that this project is being closed. Best of luck in your future projects.

Thank you very much dear friend for bringing this once so heavy and useless software to it’s right position,you did an amazing job.
Best regards from Israel.
cc on September 4th, 2009 8:38

i stumbled upon your site a couple years ago and i must say that your work has been invaluable. i had been using nero since version 5 i believe, but was increasingly tired and frustrated with the ever increasing bloat of the software.

without your work i would have given up on nero long ago. its too bad they don’t hire you to continue work on their software (last i looked their nero suite was over 1gb in size)

I could use Nero the last years because of your work with Nero Lite. Thank you very much for that. We’ll miss you Acheron.
Saludos desde Argentina.
Peter on September 18th, 2009 16:40

This was a really great project. You made this software the way it should be.

Can you recommend something in “better” shape than Infrared? I’m using linux and k3b has beenworking great but I need something a lot more “stable” than Infra red.

Good luck for your future projects.
GiACK on September 19th, 2009 22:16

It’s a real pity to see this project is over…

Thank you very much for all your great work these last years. You have been an invaluable resource for thousands of people from all around the world.

Best of luck for your future!

Can someone upload “Nero-8.3.13.0_europe_lite.exe” to another host? All Megashare links don’t work for me
Shadowdog on October 1st, 2009 0:52

My friends and family wish to thank you for the Nero Lite project. It has made a bloated nightmare of a burning suit into something everyone could love and be productive with. We will greatly miss this project.

Many thanks from the United States of America.

Thank-you very much for your great work. It is a pity this great project comes to an end. Is anybody there would like to take the staff and continue this project?

BubuXP on October 6th, 2009 19:04

I used your Nero Lite in the past, but now I use CDBurnerXP and ImgBurn (they have been improved a lot).
I don’t know if I ever said thanks for you work in the forum. If not, that’s what I’m doing now
WTFX on October 9th, 2009 19:49

thank you for all your work in the past!
if it wasn’t for you, i would have stopped using nero a long time ago since it became bloatware..
great work!
MaxFrax on October 12th, 2009 13:51

I was really sad to hear that Nero Lite and Micro (which I prefer to use) came to an end. I personally think that you should continue your work as your work is the reason to use Nero in these days when it became what it became. I don’t have that much space on my drive (1TB recently hehe) to use stock Nero, or bloated up DVD players or Adobe Readder 9……. Respect to your efforts with Nero and greetings from Slovakia!
der sed on October 13th, 2009 16:43

So i guess you aint doing a Nero 9 Lite / Micro ?

RaGe on November 15th, 2009 9:08

i saw nero offers free nero lite..
if only you could continue..
but good things come to an end still..
best wishes…you will be remembered
LaPeche35 on December 3rd, 2009 19:17

Nero 9 IS available in Lite version

Before closing that work, may you add a chart about Nero versions face to system Requirements?

Because it still useful to know that v7 is the latest for NT4. By the way, the only other free burner I know to work on NT4 is BurnAware Free.

Don’t laugh about using NT4, it is not a choice.
LaPeche35 on December 3rd, 2009 20:06

errtum, v7 does not install on NT4. Latest for NT4 is v5

Thank you so much for your years of devotion. Haven’t been using Nero for a long time since you can install from USB nowadays and that was the last thing needed for Nero for me.

Regards and good luck in the future.

Nikola on January 13th, 2010 14:32

What?

You are giving up just because you cant make nero 9 lite license to work?
Common man, wait nero 10,it is going to come soon and make nero micro 10!

Dont give up,now i must download 1gb of data to burn,nero is my favorite.

Cheers!
Acheron on January 18th, 2010 17:56

As noticed Nero updated their installer to 8.3.13.0a. After testing I see no differences since previous 8.3.13.0 release.
I have updated the SDK to solve some building problems and also updated installer libraries. Anyone should now be able to create a Nero Lite build on their own.
