Win2K + SP2
« on: July 05, 2001, 08:33:02 PM »
I\'ve slipstreamed SP2 into the directory copy of the Win2K original CD. I extracted the boot record from this CD too.
I burned the CD and it booted OK, but when it has finished loading all stuff needed for install, a panel appears saying that I\'m going to install an evaluation version (which installs SP2 marvelously, but with a six months expiring term).
I followed the instructions and had no problem getting a bootable CD at the first try. But I don\'t know why the evaluation version bother.
Is it due to have SP2 slipstreamed? I haven\'t found nothing related to that.

I have repeated it three times because:
1. I thought it was due to bypassing serial number check.
    So, I undid that operation. No good
2. The I believed it was due to the boot.bin I downloaded from
    Techguide. So I extracted my own boot.bin. Bad once   again.

So, I\'m puzzled. Any idea about what\'s going on?

Thanks in advance.
Regards
Miguel

What language are you using?  The early French and Spanish versions of SP2 had this problem:

Finally I got the right SP2 and burned a good CD with SP2 slipstreamed.
Thank you very much for your advice.
It\'s nice to have someone disinterested hanging around to help you.
Till next time.

After installing Win2KSP2, I got an error message (Error 5: XXX Denied) whenever I run iPlanet web server. How can I change the policy for administrator?
