hey again.. didnt work with moving the [userData] part to a different position in the WINNT.SIF file =/
I also filled in the OrgName but that didnt make any difference either..
So what may be wrong now? I'm going to try with a friends key just to see if the setup works.. if it does it must
be something wrong with my key.. but hopefully and probably it wont change..
any new ideas for me to test?

You said it's a valid retail key, correct? Are you source files from a retail, OEM or VLK XP CD? When your unattended install prompts for a key, if you enter the one you have, does it work?
well thanks for the question mate, I think I forgot to answer that in my first post..
anyway, yes it is a retail WinXP Pro disc, bought standalone.. not bundled or anything, so just a retail..
and yes, when I manually enter the product key it works perfectly..
You're welcome. Glad I can spill some new settings your way. The only thing that raises a question to me at the moment, the brain is a bit tired at the moment and I'll have to look at this again tomorrow when I'm fresh, is the [userData] being toward the bottom of the file. I thought I read somewhere about the positioning of the sections. I don't know if you've tried this already, but it might be worth a try to reposition it a bit.I'm also catching that you do not have an OrgName listed. Try including that, even if it is blank, I think setup wants to see something there. You can just put OrgName="" for a blank setting.
If I see something else later I'll pass it your way. I know it can be frustrating when this stuff doesn't work. Hope you find the answer soon.
For settings in my sif I pretty much searched in many different sif files and checked Microsoft's site and different forums for what they were used for. Also trial and error.
ahh ok, will try that.. is there any special position or just in the bottom? I'll try the bottom first and see what happens..
I'll add the OrgName variable as well..
hehe, well thats what I've been doing with RunOnceEx for example, loads of testing to get the installers to work
but I'll try to reposition the [userData] part and see what happens..
thanks for your answers guys!

hey all.. I've been working loads with getting an unattended dvd to work like it should..
I have fixed loads of things like, silent install on symantec AV and FW, zend studio, firefox, xvid.. loads of things that you
guys probably have already completed..
but I'm pretty satisfied with myself
however.. I have problem with my product key.. the key itself is a valid retail key works perfectly.. but it doesnt work
in unattended mode.. the window still comes up
I've tried two differnent versions of the key "line" like these;
[UserData]
ProductKey="xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx"and like this;
[UserData]
ProductKey=xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxdifference is these => " "
don't know the name for them in english
none of those two works.. should it be without the - or how should it look like?
everything else works just perfectly, its only the product key window that appears.. please help me out

WinXP Product Key
in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

hi guys, thanks for all your replies!
I actually got it to work with my friends key, so now its really unattended.. but..
something really is strange with my own key, cause it works if I enter it manually..
maybe I just have to enter it manually
Arie, normal text from Notepad.. without the .txt file ending of course hehe
silacomalley, doesnt matter if I use nLite or the setupmgr, its the same.. I have tried, not just guessing
I did use setupmgr from the beginning, but saw all the additional stuff in nLite so thats why I tried it..
however, nLite makes or changes a dll file that is executed in commands.txt right?
so all those options that you can make throughout the setup of nLite, you can do those through registry access too?
