hi guys, thanks for all your replies! I actually got it to work with my friends key, so now its really unattended.. but.. something really is strange with my own key, cause it works if I enter it manually.. maybe I just have to enter it manually Arie, normal text from Notepad.. without the .txt file ending of course hehe silacomalley, doesnt matter if I use nLite or the setupmgr, its the same.. I have tried, not just guessing I did use setupmgr from the beginning, but saw all the additional stuff in nLite so thats why I tried it.. however, nLite makes or changes a dll file that is executed in commands.txt right? so all those options that you can make throughout the setup of nLite, you can do those through registry access too?
