Kurt_Aust Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 For users running Vista or Win 7 the following command sequence might work for integrating XP SP3: Set __COMPAT_LAYER=WinXP WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe /integrate:"T:\WXPVOL_EN" Set __COMPAT_LAYER= Tested on a Win 7 x64 RC host using as a source a XP Pro SP1 OEM install CD, please note that only the OEM key has been checked.
mmalves Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 Isn't that the same as setting WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe to run in Windows XP compatibility mode?
Kurt_Aust Posted September 13, 2009 Author Posted September 13, 2009 (edited) Yes it is and while I can't test if it fixes the problem with VLK keys, it is at least clear that integrating XP SP3 on a Vista / Win 7 host will not fail in all cases as the guide seems to suggest. EDIT: I borrowed my work's VLK copy today and did a test on it. The method appears to work, however because the copy is not clean (been nLited to preset serial, company name and regional options) this test is not definitive. Edited September 14, 2009 by Kurt_Aust
