How to skip product key entry in XP unattended mode?

Hi thanks for such an excellent tool.

I would like to enter the product key after the unattended build is finished.

Is there a way to make it skip this prompt without specifying a product key in the SIF file?

I've built an XP Pro OEM unattended CD.

Currently I use UnattendMode=DefaultHide as I like to just leave it running, and I have a good .sif file now, but the install still stops to ask for the product key. It is allowed to just hit enter at this point, and enter the product key later. I want to do this, but in the unattended manner.

Thanks!

Mark

Are you talking about nLite ? (How would we know)

For thzat you need to have SP3 and some report that you need to splipstream SP2 before SP3 to have that feature. I never tried it. This thread should be moved to the nLite forum and you should attach (not paste) your Last session.ini file.

Answer in short: not possible.

Installation without a serial was introduced by microsoft at vista and higher.

cheers
