^_^ Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 the product key is input from the file, and that works finehowever, I did need to be there for the initial login, and it seems for something else as well.But it still beats standing there for most of the install process.I'll get used to 2 click installs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 So, how did you manage to get past Product Key and Identification pages without having to click the "Next" button? I thought that the display of the page was by design to ensure that legitimately licensed installs were forced upon youNopes, its not a necessity to see the product key and Identification pages. Those pages can be automated as well. I have a completely automated setup. Why don't you try downloading the MSBATCH.INF file that I attached in that post, and customize it with your key?

I'm thinking there's something else going on here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peachy Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Yes, mine is an OEM version. The only retail copy I have is the upgrade version and not the full retail one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kukris Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 With OEM versions neither the switch setup.exe /iw nor ShowEula=0 in the msbatch.inf don't help, but Ypsos posted his msbatch.inf and with that it works also for OEM versions.http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=21230In the section [OPKInstall] he added the following lines:HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion","ProductId",,12345-OEM-1234567-12345HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion","ProductKey",,ABCDE-FGHIJ-KLMNO-PQRST-UVWXYHKLM,"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion","RegisteredOwner",,UserHKLM,"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion","RegisteredOrganization",,noneInsert your Product Key and it should work.Don't forget to add the section to your Install section[Install]AddReg=OPKInstall,.....I also use ShowEula=0 in the [setup] section and the switch /iw for setup.exe (along with others) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartsims Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Windows 98 running extremely fast on a 3.2 ghz P4. Trust me.....wow.But it's those darn older games that got their speed from the processor clock. The faster the processor the faster teh game....CPUKiller is a good proggie for that.But what most people don't understand about Windows 98, when XP has truly become mainstream, Windows 98 may still be vulnerable, but it won't be exploited nearly as much.I couldnt get 98 to run on my computer - it has too much memory... just crashes at startup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
