Sp33dy Gonzale$ - in here please!
Seriously mate - the forum is half your (2-reply) topics at the moment. The people here will help you, but the LEAST you could do is read the docs and try and learn for yourself, rather than just asking people to do your work for you. So can you please ask one question at a time, and do it all in a single thread.

And yes, I'm aware of the irony of creating a new thread just to ask someone to not make so many threads.

Thanks Rob, I was going to say the same thing.
And I know you (Sp33dy Gonzale$) can't read English very well, Google and Altavista both have text translators (although they aren't amazing though.)

Just start the readme after installation. Dont ask the user for it.

But be sure that you could not force someone to read the license or the readme. Those who are willing to do will read it, the others will just click them away.
So in my opinion its always a bad idea to force the user to do something - you probably will achieve nothing.

Hy, thank you for the answer. The readme is an tutorial how to use the installed. How can I start the readme after installation without ask?

nsExec::Exec or (possibly better) ExecShell. Try looking in the manual.

For html or txt (for example) just use ExecShell:
ExecShell open "filepath"

Hy, it works so far but I've one question

This is my code

ExecShell "open" "$INSTDIR\Infos\Counter-Strike 1.6 Erweiterungen.txt" SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED

Why doesn't the txt open maximized ?

You're putting in SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED as [parameters]. Should be:
ExecShell open "$INSTDIR\Infos\Counter-Strike 1.6 Erweiterungen.txt" "" SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED
