July 13, 2010 by Venkat Eswarlu

Nero released  Nero BurnLite 10 free version which offers simple CD,DVD copying and burning capabilities but the annoying thing is Nero BurnLite 10 comes bundled with Ask toolbar and Nero will install Ask toolbar without user consent , though you can install Nero along with Ask Toolbar and uninstall Ask Toolbar later, let us see how you can install Nero 10 free version without installing Ask Toolbar.

This is very simple process.

Installing Nero BurnLite 10 free version without ask toolbar

1.Download Nero BurnLite 10 from Nero website requires registration, no problem you can download Nero BurnLite 10 from below link.

Link :Nero BurnLite 10

6.Open that folder contains setup file ,windows installer ,setup configuration settings files and other files requires to install Nero 10 free version.
