There is no need to use nLite or other third party tools.Ĥ) The installer is different than the one used with XP. Net v2.0, Indexing Service, Internet Information Services, WMP, etc.) can be selected for removal during the installation. However, I will NOT be posting that here, until Windows XP is allowed to be hosted on WinWorldPC, as I don't want to be banned for posting a full version product key.1) It is just a trimmed down version of XP (it can take less than 1 GB of disk space).Ģ) The ISO file is available for download directly from Microsoft.ģ) Lots of components (like. Note that there's a 3rd product key that exists (also found in the user uploads section of ), and it's for the full version (not evaluation version) that also works with this ISO (doesn't require a separate full version ISO), and when you use that product key, you get the full version that doesn't expire (and yes, I tested it to make sure that it didn't expire after 120 days). I have also verified that this one works. It seems that Microsoft issued 2 different evaluation version product keys, as I also found another one on two different sites (Facebook and Blogspot). The evaluation version product key I found on is I also was able to verify that in fact it was an evaluation version by setting the date over 120 days ahead, and noticing that it refused to boot after that, warning that the evaluation period had expired. With it, I was able to install POSReady 2009 in a VirtualBox VM. I found a solution to this problem, when I discovered that in the user-uploads section of somebody had uploaded the ISO along with an evaluation version product key. Unfortunately, it required having a Microsoft account to access it, and while I do have a hotmail account (which would have worked) because it was on the Wayback Machine, they don't have a copy of the user database so no login would be possible. Fortunately that page was available in which is the Wayback Machine. One link there was provided which should get me to a page that has the key, but that page now redirects to a new page for Azure IoT. Doing some research I found somebody else was asking the same question at the official MS forums here. Unfortunately, installing POSReady 2009 from this ISO requires a product key, even for the 120day free evaluation version, and the pages on the MS website that contain this ISO don't also contain the product key. Even so, the ISO will probably be removed from their server eventually, so hopefully this ISO will get uploaded to the WinWorldPC OS library eventually. So this direct download link should work the longest. I've discovered in the past that Microsoft tends to not delete the raw files off their server for a long time after pages that reference the files have been removed.

That URL is and is a direct link to the ISO file on Microsoft's server. If they do, there's still the URL from the link on the confirmation page that says 'click here to download manually'.

Note that as Microsoft phases out this (and other Windows XP products), they may remove these download pages. The download confirmation page is at and if you go there directly, the download will start automatically. It will then take you to a download confirmation page and start the download. Just go to that page and click the download button to download it. Maybe this can be added to WinWorld's OS library, as the ISO is available for free from Microsoft's website.
