	Thanks a ton for your input, I don't have any programming
experience, yet. I guess I will stick to just creating the key file
manually :) That is pretty much everything for me....the installer is
running nicely :) 
	Now I just have to wait until Croteam is done beta testing the
SS2 Client and then I can release the Installer officially, I just
wanted to keep a head of the game with out crossing the Licensing
line :)

- - Thanks again Ryan/Gary and keep up the efforts :)
