Setup will not use my product key from answer file (closed)

[bookie32]

Hi guys, I will probably be shot down in flames....just got to try...LOL

I have been trying to use FireGeier's unattended guide to create a Vista Business version. I have followed the instructions and added my (legal) product key but everytime I run setup it stops at the add your product key window?

I have searched and searched and cannot find a solution to this problem. Is there anyone who would like to take a stab at this for me?

I can get everything to automate even formating the drive etc but cannot get past this problem and I am hundred procent certain that my product key is legal (bought it with Vista Business). I can go on and install Vista Business and validate it by adding my product key after install and everything is hunky dorry but can't get setup to use my product key from answer file....now I am babbling on a bit.

If someone would like to take a stab at this for me, I can provide what ever info you need (apart from my product key)....LOL

did you use WSIM to validate your unattanded.xml file?

Mayby you put the entry into the wrong pass.

Hi MagicAndre1981 ,

Yes. I did validate it without errors I could see. Which pass should it go in?

Hi again, feel a bit stupid.... I added the produkt key to the 1 windowsPE pass.

Hope that clarifies things a little.

Hi guys, well, it would seem like this is a dead duck, so I will call it closed.
