I'm having trouble with a slipstreamed installation of Windows XP Home Edition SP3 and I'm hoping someone can help. Basically, I'm attempting to create a (fairly) up-to-date OEM installation CD that includes SP3. Here's what I've done (I'm using nLite 1.4.7 on a Windows Vista Business x86 host):
- Copy Windows XP Home Edition SP2 OEM CD to desktop
- Start nLite and use copied files as base
- Add SP3 to nLite build
- Add IE7 to nLite build
- Add Intel SATA drivers to nLite build
- Create ISO from nLite build
- Burn ISO
All of the above goes successfully. However, when I try an installation using the newly created CD I get "The Product Id you entered is not valid" when entering the product key (I've tried a few). I can see on the nLite site that this was a known problem when using a Vista host to integrate SP3 but I thought it was fixed for v1.4.7.
Any ideas on what I can do to get round this (other than using an XP host ?
