Subject: Re: Win2K ISO has no product key
Harry, that one has the product key specified in its name, and I have used a VM based on that one off and on with no issues; IIRC, my installation of it in Vbox was smoother than my test install yesterday of Windows-2000-SP4-Final-2011-Edition_(all-updates).
It is a smaller ISO, about 387 MB. I believe I ultimately decided on installing WIN2000_PRO_SP4_DDTPV-TXMX7-BBGJ9-WGY8K-B9GHM.ISO because there appeared to be everything I needed on it, and additional stuff I wouldn't need on the other ISO. But that is months ago now, so my memory may be wrong.

Harry, I'd like to know what file you were trying to work with, so as to be able not to recommend it. The file I recommend does not require a serial and has no viruses. I would not have recommended it so enthusiastically if there had been such a problem. Sorry to hear that you have had so many difficulties. For me, from downloading the ISO to running XyWrite took about 20 minutes and there just weren't any problems.

Okay, I’m throwing in the towel. Too many (authentic, not paranoid) viruses, too much difficulty in installing, too much time, for too little value when it all gets done.
But thank you all for your help.

Try one of the "with SP4 integrated" keys. I think DDT... worked for me. If you grabbed the "Windows-2000-SP4-Final-2011-Edition_(all-updates)" folder, see the product key info text file.

I got pretty far through the installation of Win2K via the ISO… until it wanted the product key. Could find any likely looking file in the zip that I got.
