Win2008 installer sucks

Weird problem. We bought a pair of Win 2008 Standard keys (legit and all) mainly for usage under vmware, and the install disc won't even take them!

All it says is "Windows installation has encountered an error and needs to be restarted". No other details of any kind. How useless. "Something didn't work, must reboot!". That's got to be one of the most useless error messages I've *ever* encountered.

Yet, we can install without a serial, then change the key and activate online no problem!

There are no problems with the disc itself, and it's not "the wrong key" either...

Looks like it's not just me either. Plenty of such reports on the web.

MS needs to get its act together on this one seemingly.
