    By the way, I forgot to post the code of the CMD file I'm using, so here it is:
    Code:
    REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\WPA\MediaCenter" /v Installed /t REG_SZ /d 1 /f
    start /wait rundll32 setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection Freestyle 128 medctroc.inf
    EXIT
    
    And this is the code for SVCPACK.INI:
    Code:
    [CatalogHeader]
    
    [Version]
    BuildNumber=2600
    MinorVersion=1
    MajorVersion=5
    Signature="$WINDOWS NT$"
    [SetupData]
    CatalogSubDir="\I386\svcpack"
    [SetupHotfixesToRun]
    MEDIACTR.CMD
    [ProductCatalogsToInstall]

    Use search button, find needed addons for nLite or RVMi. Nothing more needed.

    Edit: Here is result you need.

    Thank you for replying! My project goal is to not use any 3rd-party tool (so only what Windows can do built-in, such as CMD) in order to be as clean as possible, as I did with Windows XP 2005 Edition.
    There's no known workaround for this Access Denied issue?

    Check how its done in addons. You simply cant change licensing registry key on the fly.

    Your way is dirty. Addons are clean way and be used on any XP Professional License type OEM, Retail and Volume.
