Putting the Key in installation files

You can use vlite to make the disc unattended, that's what i do..

You can also set yourself up as full admin by bypassing the user account creation and not entering a password.

That's what i do to get rid of UAC without suffering any of the consequences that can arise after turning it of within windows...

with vista and later, there is no way to create the answer file that you want without grabing the download from MS.

Vlite 1.2 doesn't require the wim install. Well it does but it's already in the Vlite package and takes about .5 of a second to install.

As for the serial integration, i don't know the limitations of this as i use "rebuild only ultimate" so when the OS installs i don't get prompted for a serial anyway.

This is because the OS choice is removed so it install the default key......

Hope this helps..

You can set the key with Dism, it is a default windows 7 executable so you don't need to download. You will need to replace the new install.wim it creates in the .iso though.

For this example i created a folder called "rc" on the root of the C drive and extracted the install.wim to the root of C.

1. Extract the install.wim from the iso
2. Create a folder to mount it too
3. Run command prompt as admin
4. Mount .wim

Code:

DISM /MOUNT-WIM /WIMFILE:c:\INSTALL.WIM /INDEX:4 /MOUNTDIR:c:\rc

5. Set the product key (this is a valid key for ultimate)

Code:

DISM /IMAGE:c:\rc /Set-ProductKey:BCGX7-P3XWP-PPPCV-Q2H7C-FCGFR

6. Commit the changes to the .wim

Code:

DISM /UNMOUNT-WIM /MOUNTDIR:c:\rc /COMMIT

7. replace the install.wim in the .iso with the one you just created ( use your choice of iso software magic iso, power iso etc )
