Unattended install stops and asks for CD-KEY


Recommended Posts

Hey folks. I'm working on my Win XP Pro w/SP2 Unattended install and i'm having some trouble. It keeps stopping to ask me for the product key. If I just type the key when it asks, it continues the automated install correctly, with no other problems, but that completely defeats the idea of an unattended install.

Here is my winnt.sif, if you see anything or can help me in any way, I would greatly appreciate it

You might also have select media with a non-select license agreement product key. I ran into this issue myself. Check to make sure the two are consistent.

Another thing you can try is to open the SETUPP.INI file in the i386 directory where your source files are located. Make sure the last three numbers of your PID are 270. This is supposed to aid in removing the prompt for a license key when doing unattended installs.
