I download his msi so I can give you a good answer to you question. In short, we are going on the same direction. He also removed the custom action like what I did.I hope this answers your question. Wait, if you already have his modified msi, why do you have to make a new one? mrmb, I think you should compress your msi (with winrar) to save bandwidth. Uncompressed - 4.85 MB (5,091,328 bytes) Compressed - 1.09 MB (1,145,971 bytes) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> wow you guys rock. i havvent replayd in this topic because i got banned without a reason. ive tried your solution with Wise Package Studio, and search the msi script for CA_ActivationCheckLicense. I've removed that line (in total 3 in a row) and then run the installation (setup.exe /v/qb!). It really went sillently and i want to thank you all for helping me and many others with this problem. greetz Astie
