Does anyone have an idea how to silently install this baby?

Its an msi file, and USSF reports that

msiexec.exe /i "AutoPlay Media Studio.msi" /qb

should work, but tried it and AMS reports an "invalid key" message, so I need a way to somehow put the key in!

I have tried exporting it from the registry, but again, "invalid key" error when trying!

It is not that the key is invalid, as I got a fully licenced version, just 1 of them setup programs where ya need to enter the key during setup.

HELP!!! anyone know of a way?

Try my script (read the instructions first):

#cs ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 AutoIt Version: 3.2.12.1
 Author:		 myName

 IndigoRose AutoPlay Media Studio 7.1.1007
 Application site: http://www.indigorose.com/autoplay-media-studio/

 Script Function:
	Template AutoIt script.

#ce ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

; Instructions:

; 1.Run the original installer (.exe file).
; 2.After first screen goto your temp folder (usually: C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name\Local Settings\Temp), copy the
;   .msi file located there and cancel the installation.
; 3.Load the .msi file in Microsoft Orca or other .msi editor, goto CustomAction table and Drop Row
;   the next Actions: CustomValidateSerial and ExitIfNotValidSerial.
; 4.Save the file.

; Script Start - Add your code below here

Opt("TrayIconDebug", 1)

		MsgBox(0x40010, @ScriptName, "Please uninstall previous version of AutoPlay Media Studio before using this script", 4)
		Exit
	EndIf

   ; Run the installer
	RunWait('msiexec.exe' & ' /i' & ' "' & @ScriptDir & '\' & $Installer & '"' & " /qb! /norestart")

	Sleep(2000)

   ; Create ams.xml file

HI radix!

Wow, its a lot of work there you have done, and let me say it went, installed & worked perfectly

I really wish I knew more about these things, then I would be posting help instead of asking for it!

Thanks again radix, your a star

EDIT:

I really like that idea of storing the key like that, as with other programs that I needed a key for, I set AutoIt to type it in manually, which sometimes didnt always work well, so I will be trying this script for others to see if it will work like that

Different programs -> different methods to register. In this case registration info is stored in a xml file. Generally, the serials can be imported via REG ADD command.
