Based on the results of this post, I'm trying to install Windows SteadyState on a bunch of computers with no internet connection (but all with legitimate copies of windows XP pro). The problem is that the installer asks to be connected to the Windows Genuine Advantage server, and I can't manage that.

Is there a workaround? I can use internet at my home, but cannot have the school install and pay for a connection.

Maybe there's another program that would work just as well?
