The file I used should be an MSDN source of Professional SP1.

Specifically when trying to test the resulting ISO on VMware workstation, it comes up with this error:
"The product key entered does not match any of the Windows images available for installation. Enter a different product key."

When using VMware's Easy Install, it bypasses this error, but windows fails to load after install.

As you can see from my last.ini i didn't add any unattended settings, or remove Manual Install. After searching these seem to be the most likely causes of this error but aren't the case. Did I make a mistake removing a component, or did I get an altered .ISO file?

Attached File(s)

•  Last Session.ini (4.64K)
  Number of downloads: 5

Either it is, or it isn't. Did you download it from MSDN?

This is an equivalent of using a product key of one version (say OEM) on a different version (say Retail). If you can get a download from MSDN, then you can also get a corresponding key for it.

Please clarify this first, and then we can help you.

Is there anything in my last session file which would cause this error?

I do of course have a valid Windows 7 Professional license key. It's not letting me enter it prior to giving this error. It throws this error immediately after clicking "install", long before asking for a license key. As you can see in my last session.ini, I did not use the unattended setup option so I did not enter one in Vlite either.

Edit- It seems my original suspicion is correct, as after playing around with various settings it still has the same problem. I will try a different source ISO.
