altering the setupp.ini in windows xp pro

[mcdeez]

I have used the work around to make an original oem installation cd of windows xp pro and changed the setupp.ini to make it install as a full retail version but to accept an oem product key.  I needed this to an upgrade and this is the only copy i had.  Everything worked fine until after the installation the product would not activate.  Is there something i could do to fix this.

Could you post the sample setupp.ini file? I cannot get my Corp copy to accept OEM keys. The activation needs to happen with a legit key. Use phone activation and then change key to put in a legit key. Otherwise Activation cracker is your only option.
