How to agree after disagreeing with a Vista license
August 9, 2007 1:44 PM Subscribe
Does anyone know the name or possible directory of the "Set Up Windows" license agreement program that runs when you first turn on a new Vista Business ed. machine (Dell)?
I didn't fill it out because I hadn't plugged in the Bluetooth keyboard/mouse yet. I shut the machine down to take care of that (!), and when I power it up I get a message stating that the install could not be completed. Machine restarts itself and gives the message again.
I have access to command line in this dialog, I guess to repair the install, so I figure I can just run this EULA thing if I can find it.
Tried repairing the install, but it just brings me back to this point. I could reinstall Vista, but this would be much simpler.

You might need to just do a full restore. Hopefully Dell sent you a restore cd?
