Hi., well i thought that one of the features of SP3 was that it'd allow to install XP WITHOUT the need to enter any cd key during the setup phase, just like Vista !? What people seem to be discussing below is why some of their valid keys dont work during setup time, which is kind a different topic if you see what i mean.. So is there a way to slipstream SP3 in XP, either in vista or XP that'll allow me to skip entering the CD Key during the setup phase ? Kind Regards, Jazz

Hi, i've slipstreamed the RTM Build of XP SP3 with Nlite, but i still get asked for the cd-key during install. IIRC, one of the new features introduced by SP3, were CD Key less install possible like Windows Vista ! What do i need to do to get that feature to work ? Kind Regards, Jazz

Hmm, i dont think i remember if nlite worked before i installed SP1 for vista, but the search function is still present.. In the start menu as well as the explorer. Kind regards, Jazz

BUMP This issue is really annoying as i have no idea as to what might be causing this ? Is this Vista x64 ? Kind Regards

Hi, i'm trying to customize xp with nlite but in Vista x64. Nlite starts like usual, but when it scans for the winxp root files it spits out the following error (attached in the post) I'm using the latest version of nlite, and have Vista SP1 installed. Kind Regards, Jazz

Hi, I had made a Nlited XP cd some while back, but i had removed the OOBE using nlite, but for some reason my xp wants to reactivate but when i try to activate it, it pushes me back to the Welcome screen. Is there a way to repair, or re register a couple of files that are removed by nlite to get the activation back to normal ? I can get access to Safe mode, but not safe mode with networking. Thank you.
