You can TO REMOVE DELL CRAP + DEFAULT SERIAL FROM http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=120228 OEM Re-Installation Disc: (This one requires a bit more fiddling than the others, so consider it for more advanced users) Some OEMs ship their systems with a "re-installation disc". This disc may be be customized by the OEM to install only one version of Vista, but those customizations can usually be "undone" using vLite, and then will allow you to install any version (that you have a license for) from that disc. This modification removes some of the custom scripts that an OEM uses to automate the Vista installation. Sometimes they also customize the windows install files, but I think they just add drivers to them. Using this method does not give you a "pristine" install disc, but it should be enough to work. An example where you could do this is if you have a Dell Vista Business disc at work that only allows you to install Vista Business. You can modify this disc to allow you to install Home Premium on your home laptop. For Dell discs: Copy the entire Dell DVD to a folder on your hard drive In the "sources" folder, there is a folder called "$oem$". Delete it In the "sources" folder, there is a file called "pid.txt". Delete it. <-- thiss is the dell product key Open vLite and burn a new disc using those files Install vista. It should now allow you to choose a version of Vista to install, and also will not install the dell product key and activation files (Thanks to Silas Awaketh for the info that helped me figure this out) Dell is currently the only OEM I have info for. If you have a disc from another OEM, please let me know and we can figure out how to add it. Procedure:

I integrated the Dutch lp.cab into my vista x64 disk and when trying to install using the iso in Virtualbox, when it starts the "Installing Components part" it pops up with the error: and it aborts the installation I would be gratefull for any help here See also this topic
