Am I to guess you are using a MAK key in the Specialize section? Try putting a default key there instead:

I placed default in Windows PE and MAK in specialized. So this is suposed to be the other way round?
Thanks for your help

[timy3]

I have swapped keys so I have default in specialize and Mak in PE and am still getting a fatalerror. I don't think it depends on the configuration of this particular bits as I have tried everything.

Mak belongs in specialize and nothing in PE. Can just hit next there
remove completely that entry <ProductKey> in PE.
