CUSTOMISING WINDOWS XP & SERVER 2003 INSTALLATION SOURCE

OK I HAVE CREATED A MULTIBOOT DVD, NOW MY ONLY QUESTION; IS THERE A WAY TO AUTOINSERT THE PRODUCT KEY INTO THE BOXES OR SKIPPING THE PROCESS OF THE INSERTING THE KEY INTO THE BOXES?

I KNOW HOW TO DO IT USING THE WINNT.SIF METHOD BUT THAT ONLY WORKS IF YOUR BOOTING OF THE DVD, I WANT IT TO HAPPEN SO WHEN I CLICK ON INSTALL WINDOWS BUTTON, WHEATHER ITS UPGRADING OR NEW INSTALLATION I WANT IT TO WORK WHEN YOU USE INSTALL FROM BUTTON METHOD.

NOW I KNOW THAT 2000 HAS THE SETUP.INI FILE THAT YOU CAN CHANGE:

[Pid]

ExtraData=79787A657A776C7262774BBD28E78F

Pid=51873XXX

CHANGE THE XXX TO 270

BUT IN XP IT HAS 270 AT THE END.

COULD I ADD A PRODUCT KEY LINE INTO THE SETUP.INI FILE?

AS I SAID BEFORE I HAVE THE UNATTENDED WINNT.SIF FILES IN THE FRONT BOOT FOLDERS.

IS THERE A WAY TO INVOKE THE WINNT.SIF FILE USING AUTOPLAY MEDIA 6 PRO?

OR ANY OTHER WAY?

Does the creator of the Multiboot AIO DVD Project have anything to say?

Because I need some help, is this a realistic function can I bypass the key or not.

What does anyone else think?

If your answer is yes than you need to provide some help or state you reason why you believe it can be done.

If your answer is no state you reason why you believe it can’t be done.

There is no way to do what you would like. The installer CD makes a new BOOT folder and setup folder on the primary hard disk of whatever computer you are trying to install it on. If you would do what you want, you'd have to find a way to modify the setup files on the CD to make a BOOT folder with your specific winnt.sif file. Thus far, I've never heard of that being done.

Ok take all info into consideration but i have one last Question!

Would there be a way to link the setup.exe to one of the front boot folders on the dvd i.e: Pro1 with WINNT.sif in folder?

or Could i make a custom setup.exe installer to work with AutoPlay Media 6 Pro?
