Not sure if anybody else has been having this problem but no matter what I did I couldn't stop an Activate Adobe dialog from popping when I was installing using RunOnceEx so I always had to click cancel and activate it once my silent install was completely done. Having just followed the steps for Nero 7 Ultra ( http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=59483 ) I got curious about using Adminstudio (link and intro instructions on Nero 7 page) to remove the activation popup from the setup process. Turns out it works... Guide for making MST 1) In order to to make the .mst download AdminStudio trial, the password is utopia05 (Mod's the password is standard and not a serial). Install 2) Open FLEXnet AdminStudio 7 3) Then go to the tab Assistant 4) Select the .msi created by the admin install, then hit start 5) Then in the windows select under Customization option, select create a mst file. Browse to your existing mst. 6) Hit Customize 7) In the Window that opens you should see a list, Expand Behaviour and Logic folder, then click on Custom Actions. 8) Delete ALMCheckActivationStatus and ALMInstallActivation. 9) Hit save. 10) Now use the mst like any other. I guess you could just modify the msi directly but since we're using an mst anyway, I couldn't see the point. If you do modify the msi, I think you have to also import the customized package but I don't really know. If someone could test this, that'd be cool and if someone could let me know if it's really necessary to import that msi, that'd be nice too. good luck and props go to keytotime for showing giving me an idea on how to use AdminStudio
