Not final for Volume License sliptreamed

By IQ on 24.04.2008 - 14:04
you will find if you slipstream sp3 into the volume license (corp) version, you will not be able to install past entering the cd key...

this version is only meant for oem and retail...

here ya go..

By done my homework on 24.04.2008 - 18:04
the version on major geeks and the wzt release on pirate bay (microsoft.windows.xp.service.pack.3.v5.1.2600.5512.rtm.english-w.4150301.tpb) are identical and genuine. there are certainly others. md5 bb25707c919dd835a9d9706b5725af58

slipstream works with all versions and all milestones(gold, sp1, sp2, etc). to use volume licence keys with slipstreamed xppro vlk sp3 you copy/paste the original pidgen.dll from the source system32 folder to the slipstreamed installer you made.
there seem to be issues using the resulting slipstreamed files with large numbers of addons in nlite.
otherwise, all works well (for me...ymmv)

addendum

By done my homework on 24.04.2008 - 18:04
it should be noted that the pidgen.dll file used to replace the sp3 version should come from an sp2 source, for any currently valid keys.
sp0 and sp1/1a keys are no more valid with sp3 than they were with sp2, and in many cases, the sp2-valid keys don't work with sp3.
the pidgen.dll replacement is suggested on msdn for vlk users, as a work-around until m$ gets their thing together.
.

Done my homework Please help !!!

By Dumitdownabit on 25.04.2008 - 01:04
i have a corp copy of xp sp2. what are you saying i need to do to get it to slipstream properly with nlite.

thanks in advance

same as with all the RC's

By dmh on 25.04.2008 - 18:04
integrate as always(with nlite or using the command line /integrate: switch)...before iso generation(but after integration of course), copy/paste pidgen.dll from your source files to your integrated files, overwriting the existing file.
btw, pidgen=program i.d. generator. the new version erroneously rejects valid vl keys. you're simply replacing the new version with one that recognizes sp2-generation vl keys correctly.
