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.
Fred

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....

Info [0x060122] IBS Callback_Productkey_Validate: Entry

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 find the problem will appear when it is installed by virtual driver.
Now I burned into DVD, and it succeed.^_^
