Fair enough, Thanks for the reply.

First off, How should I set registry tweaks for the iso that there aren't option for in nlite. Specifically I want to see if I can disable the browser choice with just a new reg key in the right place. Second, I think I've spotted an nlite bug is this the right place to report it? Using the registry tweaks, I wanted to set a shorter MenuShowDelay "50". So I ticked it in nlite. I've noticed it doesn't work because it's spelling the reg key wrong. It sets HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Contol Panel > ect... instead of "Control." therefore does not work. At least that's what this machine just did anyway.

Thanks john I'll give that a try, I'm using nlite on a project of mine at home but I'm testing the sysprep configuration for work with that image. edit: oh yes those hotfixes. There just all the critical ones since SP3 I was trying too add. If creating it in a VM doesn't work I'll try it without those next Last_Session__2010.01.29_02.04.05_.ini

Administrator|||True|Administrators|917891|False|True|True Guest|||False|Guests||True|False|False media|||True|Users|password|False|True|False Just to clarify - after windows installs without any problems. If I run sysprep I get prompted to enter my PD again even though it's given in the .inf and windows installs without asking me. I've run nlite in win7 RC. I'll try it in an XP VM tomorrow and see if that solves my problem.

As the title says, I'm trying to figure out why my product key is getting ignored in the sysprep.inf using /reseal /mini setup I know the file is working to a degree because it's correctly filling in all of the other parts of the setup I've asked (Language, time ect.) Looks like this in the file [userData] ProductKey="XXXX-..." I've tried it without "" and as ProductID with the same outcome. I know it's the correct key because when entered manually no errors are thrown up. Also using the latest sysprep.exe from the MS site. Additional info: This XP image has been slip steamed with sp3 and updates from an sp2 disk nlite. The first install from disk continues without any problems from the key. Any help?
