asked on

xp key, but no CD..

The XP Pro CD seems lost.. but the key  has been stored in a notebook.

Is it possible to download a raw XP Pro version and then put the license key on it.

If i need to patch and keep XP ready, I need to do before April 2014, right?

thanks-

rindi, does xpmode a simulation of xp or actual xp environment? does it have  licensing? the legacy app is in access 2002.

right one, one strong option was to get vmplayer and then put xp pro on it inside a Win7 machine and put access 2002 into the xppro install. in this situation, is xpmode just about the same?

jcimarron,
this is a win7 machine (hopeing to use vm to host xp) so floppy drives not an option. your last link was interesting and helpful.

yes.. it is OEM indeed..  it is the product ID, not the key that has OEM.. is that what is expected?

Product ID is
99999-OEM-9999999-99999
Product Key aaaaa-bbbbb-ccccc-ddddd-eeeee


so my CD key means nothnig anymore in terms of installing new xp pro on vm.. need to tweak the idea and possibilites..

Gary, it is ULTRAIII D845GBV_..not a brand name.
In that case you'll either need to find an OEM version of XP, or simply buy a new copy.   New copies of XP are still available on e-bay, and the prices are rapidly dropping, since support ends very soon.   Here's one for $30:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Windows-XP-Professional-Pro-w-SP-3-/151264982282?pt=US_Operating_Systems_Software&hash=item233818750a

There is, of course, always a risk when you buy an OS from e-bay, but this appears to be a valid listing.

Hi rindi,
There are two files at the link you posted:

WindowsXPMode_en-us.exe
WindowsXPMode_N_en-us.exe

What's the difference? Any advice on which one to use? Thanks, Joe
Thanks!
The one with the "N" doesn't include the media player as far as I know.
Weird stuff happening at EE today. My post thanking rindi for his last post (explaining the "N") somehow is time-stamped before his post! Could it be due to today's date? :)
As far as I know that bug has been reported already (happened yesterday too, so it doesn't have anything to do with today's date).
>> As far as I know that bug has been reported already

It has.
Along with some random double-triple postings, and posts not showing up until a Refresh is done.

thank you all.. for this one client.. i got the ebay xp.. and it has worked beautifully..  just did it.. glad for it.. just on time.. (today being 8th)..

Now, i just got a call from another similar situation (totally different person/location etc).. they are running into almost similar situation.. they need to keep the xp machine.. but they would like to take it into a windows 7 lenova thinkpad 42962WU (x64)..

today being 8th, is there any last minute option to still be able to virtualize a XP machine with proper licensing? thanks.

If you've already downloaded XP mode, save it somewhere and use that.

rindi,

1)
when i first downloaded
Windows XP Mode from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8002
it did so from a different genuine validation key that was generated from the other PC. will it still work here?

2)
if i can access this pc only tomorrow, will downloading the software and running it tomorrow help? or will every thing have to be done by april 8th itself?

3)
Is it possible to download Xp mode and all the updates now, and in case there is a case like this one month from, will the whole process be reusable?

Joe, it is not a transferrable license as far as i understand. if i get from ebay, then updates can be a problem right? (Service packs)

the laptop will be a win7 pro.

gary/rindi

does that mean, if i don't get access to that laptop today, i still will be able to do all updates (install xp mode on win7 pro + service packs) tomorrow or thursday?

to be sure, if i get hold of the laptop i will get started today.

do you recommend downloading updates (service packs) and keeping a copy today (apr 8 2014), while it is still available, so even if they take it off without notice next week, i still will be able to update 'xp mode' on any new windows 7 pro machine?

if you would recommend, would you start here?
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24
will SP3 cover everything all the way back to RTM?

so far, i know that i have the xp mode saved (WindowsXPMode_N_en-us.exe)  and that is a good start for any need in the near future to keep a xp system in xp mode.

thank you..

in WSUS Offline Update 9.1.

do you suggest checking
*Include c++ runtime lib and .net frameworks? will they be relevant? to xp 32 bit?
*Cleanup download directories- what does this do?

to summarize, since i am doing manual updates this way, after i put xp mode on a win7 pro machine, i should install each of these downloads manually in the right order (SP1, SP2, SP3, then other smaller updates and so forth), right?

thanks Gary. you do a clean job indeed...

yes, please share the link for slipstreaming to sp3.. that seems helpful on long run.. (as needed)

also can you show a screenshot of all the updates in your collection.. ? i can compare that to make sure i covered it all.. i am using the WSUS tool.. and below is what i got so far: (I chose "clean up download directories", "Include service pack","verify downloaded updates", Create ISO image.)
