thepwrtank18 Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 I downloaded Windows XP x64 from an MSDN mirror (all hashes checked out). I noticed that after installation, it just goes straight to the desktop as the Administrator account instead of an OOBE. Is this supposed to happen?
thepwrtank18 Posted January 28, 2022 Author Posted January 28, 2022 Just realized that there's a subforum for x64. Someone please delete.

George King Posted February 2, 2022 Posted February 2, 2022 Anybody know how to get fully workable OOBE on XP x64? 1
Compa Posted February 18, 2022 Posted February 18, 2022 Pretty sure the skipping is intentional considering both its base OS and target market. One thing worth pointing out is that the OOBE is enabled in early Longhorn builds and most used the otherwise-unused title.wma from Server 2003, a couple of them reused XP's for whatever reason though. Longhorn was however pitched as a mainstream release, XP x64 was not and was intended for enthusiasts and hobbyists so they probably just couldn't be arsed basically.
