Extract the files from the .cab to a folder and read the deploy.chm file.
It explains how to do an unattended install which can be customised to
only insert a CD-Key..

In WinXPPro I'd also like to know how to bypass the serial number entry whilst doing a fully unnattended install from CD. I'm not trying to bypass the registration or activation, just to automatically install from CD. Then I can activate once installed. This works a treat for Win2k, but there's something different in XP, guess it's related to activation.
I've been fiddling with slipstreaming and modifying the winnt.sif file for days but have not been able to get it fully automatic. Slipstreaming is sorted, adding hardware detection is sorted (I think!), but automatic install isn't.
Without a winnt.sif file I get asked all the usual questions, but not for a serial number until installation is complete and then into the activation routine. I'm just trying to make the same thing happen, but to automate the answers.
Anybody got any ideas or experience of this in XP?

If I understand the question correctly this is how to install Windows XP with out entering the serial.
1.)
Go here and download Nero 6 http://www.nero.com/us/nero6-ultraedition.html (http://\"http://www.nero.com/us/nero6-ultraedition.html\")
2.)
Go here and it will show you how to make a Win XP bootable cd using Nero 6. http://www.betaplace.co.uk/bootcd.asp (http://\"http://www.betaplace.co.uk/bootcd.asp\")
3.)
After you move over your files. make a text file named winnt.sif
put the information below in the file and edit it to suit you needs. then put it in the I386 folder in you compalation. burn your cd and you can boot up off the cd. you will be asked a few question that you can just hit enter on and you will never be asked to input your serial # providing you have entered the correct serial in the winnt.sif answer file.

If you want to start the setup in windows the create a batch file enter in the below command and add it to your XP cd root and click on it to install

I hope this helps I use it and works great for me.

like in win2k u can bypass the serial chek when ur installing im wondering if theres a way to do the same with windows xp thx
Post by: WhatBackHand on September 30, 2003, 05:00:52 PM
thanks for the reply, but your winnt.sif is largely the same as mine. I've experimented some more...
If I do not have a winnt.sif I get asked all the usual questions, but not for key. If I have any winnt.sif AT ALL, all questions are automatically answered EXCEPT I get asked for a licence key
/sad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':(\' /> . Any key I include in .sif or add manually is invalid. If I change the OEM options in the .sif I get asked for the CD Key (yellow label) or the Volume Licence Key, but never for the "normal retail" key /mad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':angry:\' /> .I thought I had a retail CD, but I might have an OEM version and this may be keyed somehow different. I'm going to compare CDs, or more precesely the I386 directories as this is all I've copied, at work tomorrow
/unsure.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':unsure:\' /> .Unless of course you or someone else can inform me otherwise.
Starting to get a bit hacked of at this now. It was so easy with Win2k, almost trivial you might say compared to this. If it is the fact that the OEM version is different I might go and find a short pier and go for a long walk.....

You have to edit the setupp.ini file in the i386 folder. there should be this line in the file:
Pid=518822 335
(it's actually one number the space is for clarity)
replace the 335 with 270 for volume licensing, OEM for OEM, and leave as is for normal retail. You will still have to put in the serial.

A complete unattended install including hotfixes & drivers can be made by following instructions on the following site:
http://www.msfn.org/unattended/xp (http://\"http://www.msfn.org/unattended/xp\")
It may be time consuming but well worth the effort . . .
Post by: azman_MV on October 25, 2003, 05:16:13 AM
if I am getting your ques correct.. it is to automate the entry of the code if so do this..
in the windowsXP setup CD,., goto the support folder and u will find "deploy.exe". it does the work for you... it creates a winnt.sif file.. in addition you can look for "unattend.txt" in your windowsxpCD.. it is a sample file.. it will tell you how to do it... it makes installation much much easier and headache free... set it up correctly.. and u can put the cd in and go out.. when u come back it done for you..
hope I helped..

this works on a 2k version of windows but not on the XP version.
I also would like to know how to do it on a XP version.
I heard putting a winnt.sif in the i386 folder and rebuning it would work... havend tryed this

/biggrin.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':D\' /> Bypassing the Windows 2000 Serial CheckFirst you want to copy your Windows 2000 setup files from your CD to your hard drive. You have to copy at least the I386 directory (I recommend copying all the files, so you can burn a complete CD later). Now go into the I386 directory you just copied onto your hard drive. Find the setupp.ini file. Right click it, select Properties, and remove the Read-only checkmark. Now open the file to edit it.
Your setupp.ini file should read something like this:
[Pid]
ExtraData=6166656C736263737373B2574A0581
Pid=51873XXX
Replace the 3 X's (generally it'll be three zeros) at the end with "270". It should now read something like this:

Actually it is to change to 000 for volume licensing, and 270 for OEM. Pid only accepts numbers.

is there a way using this PID file to allow it to do an upgrade via a corp CD but accept an OEM key. I tried to subst the 335 with OEM but it haults the upgrade.
