i use the german systemworks, they dont need activation
like the U.S. version.....
the problem is: a silent installation is always a FULL,
you cant do a silent user defined

but: you can
trick a little bit. in my case, i dont want the "ghost"
and "password-manager". i thougt its enough to delete
their installfiles.msi. but setup will give an error.
an error too for create 0kb files with the install.msi as name.
so i use "Wise for windows installer 5.2 enterprise",
create 2 empty working msi files they do nothing, but the main.msi will acceppt them.
for a working silent installation, you have to use the file and
folder structure like on the NSW2004 cd.
my commandline is:
CODE
REG ADD %KEY%\025 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\tempinstall\NSW2K4\nswsetup.exe /O REBOOT=ReallySuppress /QB" /f
