Hi everyone,
I am currently trying to get an OEM version of WinXP pro Sp2 to install unattendedly. Besides some small things everything runs smoothly by now, but there is one bigger thing that I'ld to you guys about:
I would like to automatically activate my installation. I already tried to place the wpa.dbl into the $$\System32 folder of my cd, but it appears that it will be overwritten during the installation process. So my question is at what point of the installation process can I copy this file, without it being overwritten again?

Thanks in advance,
Nephilim

The best place for this is in the RunOnceEx.cmd file. the wpa.dbl file is not protected, so it wil be accepted (atleast on my machine)

I will give it a try, although I will use the cmdlines.txt area. This is because I need to have windows activated before my first login, otherwise I would only be able to login as admin. I don't know if that is a good idea, but I will give it a shot.

Thanks,
Nephilim
