Here is a copy of my WORKING sysprep.inf file. Note that this only works with Windows XP Open Licence Program copy. If you use any other copy (MSDN, Retail or OEM), you will be forced to register with Microsoft or enter a new valid key according to the type of installation. BEWARE: THE CODES are not TRANSFERRABLE from diffent TYPES of install, in other words: OEM cannot unlock MSDN and so on... the codes are specific to the type of installation. Also, if you try to package an OEM copy, you will be forced to register with a valid key before even being able to enter Windows (after the trial period has expired from the day you installed it)... so... I suggest you find/buy/use an OLP version, as they do not need to be unlocked, you do not need to enter codes during the install and you are legal....When I seal it, I select Mini-Setup and PreActivated
