Dear All,
I'm experiencing the
"A problem is preventing Windows from accurately checking the
license for this computer. Error code: 0x800703e6." bug.
I'm using a site-licensed version of XP-pro (which identifies itself as
build 2600), and the most recent 2004-11-22_23 snapshot of qemu.
I managed to successfully make it install, and it will boot happily, but
only in safe mode with no networking.
I just thought you might like to know the results of my research: namely
that ALL of the following workarounds FAIL:
1) http://www.talkroot.com/archive/topic/18578-1.html
Start/run regsvr32 regwizc.dll
Then start/run regsvr32 licdll.dll
2)
http://www.talkroot.com/showthread.php?threadid=18578
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=310794
3)Created normal and limited users (while in safe mode). These also fail
in normal mode.
4)
Trying:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;306081
The commands they specify don't actually work, (the recovery-mode
doesn't like the %), but doing what they MEAN, rather than what they
say, manages to succesfully restore exact copies of the former files.
It doesn't fix the problem.
Anyway, hopefully this will save someone else an hour of wasted googling
and experiments.
As for Product Activation, it just makes me grateful for Linux!
Best wishes
Richard
