Hi there,

Does anyone know a tool/script to install Windows XP but leave the
last few steps of the setup to the consumer who will be using a PC? I
know all the big OEMs load Windows but have a little wizard that
finishes the setup of Windows much like the final wizard in the normal
Windows XP setup routine but it asks for the serial number, and it is
not run until the consumer powers up the system for the first time.

Thanks

On the Windows XP CD ROM is the OPK (The OEM Preinstall Kit) and all
required documentation and tools.
see the Deploy.cab file

Thanks,

I did some more digging and I found this out myself last night. I
believe what I was thinking of is the -msoobe parameter, what does the
-msoobe look like versus the -mini switch?
