I too am annoyed at the forced registration that Microsoft has imposed on users. One way I found to get around this however is to edit the setup.ini file in the root of the CD. I have heard some people mention an installation from HDD so I am guessing this can apply for that, though I made changes to the setup.ini file then re-burned it to another CD. In the setup.ini file there a section that appears as follows:
;USERNAME=Customer
If you add the following line, replacing X with the products registration number, so the entry looks like:
;USERNAME=Customer
PIDKEY=X
Don't include the - between sets of numbers. When installing the software it should automatically enter this number as the Product ID so then it's just a matter of installing as usual.</font>
Another great idea!! Thx man, I know Scott already had a Microsft forum but I'm certainly glad he put these here. It makes it so much easier to round up everyone's info.
