Most probable your key do not typed correctly under nLite.

The key is correct, i also checked it

did you type in the same key you put into Nlite that is having the problem into vmware and it worked

the only time it wants the key is when the key is wrong or being blacklisted or something else

im not saying anything here thats the only time i know its wants the key

Mmm no, i'm gonna try to type it manually.

Change unattended mode to "Provide Default" and when prompted for the key, click next. If you don't get an error, you correctly typed your key. Otherwise, you made an error.

This may only be useful if the fields are empty when you get your error.

Ok, seems that i typed the serial wrong, missed one letter ... Now it works

I am having the same issue. I have double checked my key and it is correct.

I even opened up the winnt.sif file and typed it in exactly how it shows it in that file.

If I type it in it works just fine, it just will not do it automatically.

Any ideas?

Below is my sif file:
