The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
- Microsoft Windows XP Professional
This article was previously published under Q313040 SYMPTOMS When creating an unattended answer file, the version of
Setup Manager that is included with Windows XP may include the following line
in the [UserData] section of the answer file:
ProductID=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
While the ProductID value is still acceptable in answer files for Windows XP and
Windows Server 2003, the preferred keyword is now ProductKey.
ProductKey=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
The version of Setup Manager that is included with Windows Server
2003 has been revised to use the value ProductKey instead of ProductID. WORKAROUND To work around this behavior for answer files that are
created with the Windows XP version of Setup Manager, manually change the ProductID value to ProductKey in the answer file.
