Hi, I've used the latest version of nLite to create a slipstreamed installation disc for WindowsXP and I added SP3 when creating the disc. I did a test install and some things worked, e.g. the Admin password which I specified, however, the other user which I'd set up was not present. When creating the disc, I also specified my product key and when doing the test install, I was not prompted for it - seems mostly okay so far. However, when XP finished installing and I checked the Product Key (right-clicked on Computer > Properties > General tab), it did not match. The PC was not online, because I'm sending the disc to a friend and I didn't want automatic authentication to associate the key with my PC. If I went online, would the displayed Product Key be amended to the one in my documentation, or is it always 'encrypted' in this way, so you can't see the true value? My other question is, can I just install SP3 without adding SP2 first? Logically I wouldn't think so, but I read something suggesting that SP2 needed to be installed before SP3 (and there is no facility to do this in nLite). Looking forward to feedback! Thanks.
