Execute applications

Hi,

I am creating a Visual Basic application with an NSIS installer. The application runs as a Windows Service in the background, so I need the installer to:

1) Show a welcome screen
2) Tell the user the software must be activated (simalar to Ms activation)
3) Choose Files
4) Start Menu Group
5) Install
6) Request a serial number
7) Connect to a web server, post the number as variable 'snumber', post some basic system data as 'sysdat' and get a completion code.
8) Validate the code
9) Save the code
10) Run an app to install the service
11) Exit


I'm currently at stage 6.
Thanks
