can anyone tell me what the basic setup for the registry is for DOW and WA and DC to make it so you can play their races on SS? i got WA and DOW races to work, but im having difficulty making DC work, i made it look like this:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\THQ\Dawn of War - Dark Crusade]
"CDKEY"="xxxxx"
"InstallLocation"="C:\\Program Files\\THQ\\Dawn of War - Soulstorm"

and it crashes everytime i start it up, but when i dont do it this way and i do it this way:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\THQ\Dawn of War]
"CDKEY"="xxxx"
"CDKEY_WXP"="xxxxx"
"InstallLocation"="C:\\Program Files\\THQ\\Dawn of War - Soulstorm\\"

the DOW and WA races all work, but no DC...

can anyone help me?

You just have to use the cd key string and it should work. One of the strings was listed in the wrong caps for me though. Whatever it was in the registry was actually the opposite to what it was on the game manual and how SS wanted it inputed, so try switching the letters in the key from caps to small case, or vice-versa. If that does not do it, I have nothing else unfortunately.
