I built an Nlite version of windows 2k3 with slipstreamed sp1, all subsequent hotfixes, my laptop drivers, removed some stuff I didnt think I needed, added more tweaks from nlite's menus, and added my product key. When I installed this disk, I had two problems: 1. when setup was copying the files to the disk at the start of installation, it reported 19 separate files it could not find - mostly .inf files (irdasmc.inf, irnsc.inf, etc), also oembios.bin, some .chm files, and concerningly, oleacc.dll. Presumably this is just an oversite and not a real problem, but I couldn't complete the install to find out, because: 2. setup rejected my known valid product key(s). It told me the key was not valid. I had previously installed w2k3 with this same key, so I know it works. I also tried another w2k3 post sp1 key that had also previously worked. This was a showstopper. Any idea what went wrong or what to do about it?
