I'm trying to use sysprep XP Pro SP3 to start at OOBE (I plan to image it later)

I want to automate just the product key, when it asks for it here (after accepting license)

This is my sysprep.inf

;SetupMgrTag
[Unattended]
    InstallFilesPath=C:\sysprep\i386

[GuiUnattended]
    EncryptedAdminPassword=NO
    OEMSkipRegional=1

[UserData]
    ProductKey=11111-11111-11111-11111-11111
    FullName=""
    OrgName=""

[SetupMgr]
    DistFolder=C:\sysprep\i386
    DistShare=windist

[Identification]
    JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP

[Networking]
    InstallDefaultComponents=Yes

I have the entire contents of deploy.cab and this inf in C:\sysprep\

I want to use OOBE, not mini-setup, so I start sysprep by clicking on sysprep, checking don't regen SID's and hit reseal.

The problem is that it makes me enter the key, even though it's in sysprep.inf. How do I get the key to be automatically entered?

No, but i'm not that worried about it now.

So what are you doing instead to get around the issue?

I've just put it off and am entering the key manually.
