Aaron Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Yeah, you can replace your key with xxxx-xxxx, no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texbox Posted October 24, 2003 Author Share Posted October 24, 2003 I have but it doesn´t work. ?Is it because of the "Volume License" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 right, the only bad thing I can spot is you're using an underscore _ instead of - in the product key line. Does everything else work fine apart from the Product Key? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texbox Posted October 24, 2003 Author Share Posted October 24, 2003 No no, it´s not underscore, it looks like that when u are typing ***.This is with underscore ***_***This is with (score) ***-****-*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texbox Posted October 24, 2003 Author Share Posted October 24, 2003 So u don´t have any idea what it could be. I mean everything else seems to work. I have done theese unattend installations before, and they didn´t work either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Is this named as winnt.sif and placed in the i386 folder? Again, does everything else in winnt.sif (apart from product key) take effect or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texbox Posted October 24, 2003 Author Share Posted October 24, 2003 I saw i was missing theese instructions[unattended] OemPreinstall=Yes UnattendSwitch="no"Because the drivers didn´t install.But still the Product key needs to enter manually. But now i need to go home from work, thanks for your help. Il be back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neophyte Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Are there any error dialogs that pop up?Is your key entered in correctly?Sometimes this can be overlooked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texbox Posted October 24, 2003 Author Share Posted October 24, 2003 No, no error codes or popups. Nothing.Or is there some logfile that i can look in?^T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinman Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 As I recall, I had to use smaller case letters. When I used caps, it didn't recognize the key as being valid.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texbox Posted October 25, 2003 Author Share Posted October 25, 2003 That could be something.I will try that on Monday morning.Thanks...^T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
