I downloaded the Vista Beta2 and also have this same error after entering
the product key supplied; "Setup cannot validate your product key". I burned
the ISO image to DVD to run the setup and the burn process reported NO
ERRORS. Help please. Thanks.
 
I also encountered such case, but I installed vista by daemon. When I entered
the product key, it also said "setup cannot validate your product key", then
I tried another new product key, it also failed. why? help. thanks
 
I also encountered such case, but I installed by daemon. I've tried two new
product keys, it still failed. why? thank you^_^

Did you use product keys supplied by Microsoft, or a "key-gen"
program? Try using the Microsoft-supplied key.

I love the double talk from the moderators.

Just to make it clear. I have

1. Two Activation Keys sent from Microsoft.
2. Created DVD using ISO.
3. Starts like a charm
4. Get to screen enter activation code..

5. You'll like this....... NEITHER KEY WORKED. IF I TYPED IT. CUT AND
PASTED IT. TYPED IN THE NUMBER WITH WITHOUT DASH.

Error Message.... "Setup cannot validate your product key" ETC>>>ETC
Re try same message..

By the way tried this on three computers, created 4 DVD, incase they were
corrupt.
NOTHING

I have been beta testing for years.

THE CODES DON'T WORK....

SO if someone ( with some smarts, and is not going tocome back and say. "
wel l just type it in and hit enter...

I sned Microsft and e-mail and they direct me to the forum.. nice.

OK.... You have aproblem with installing VISTA Beta 2. Write it up.

Thank you.

yes, the two product keys that I've used are obtained in the email from
microsoft. I've tried again today, but the same case appeared. I don't know
the reason. thank you very much^_^

Yes, my product key was supplied by Microsoft via e-mail. I actually
registered twice and got 2 keys, neither of which work. I have tried
installing from booting off the DVD, and also tried installing while booted
in my XP install. I took a look at the logfile created during setup
(C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther\setupact.log) and below are the failure
notifications....

Help!
 
I'm getting the same problem, i've burned the iso to a dvd twice, tried
downloading the iso again, and got two different keys. But when i enter the
key's i get the infamous "Setup cannot validate your product key" error. Is
there actually anyone with Microsoft that can help, i'm assuming that this is
a problem on microsoft's side, considering that many people are having the
same problem by looking at the recent posts.
 
I can install vista now.
I find the problem will appear when it is installed by virtual driver.
Now I burned into DVD, and it succeed.^_^
