While installing a user's machine, who shall remain anonymous, i asked them to place the microsoft office 2003 CD into the drive.
Much to my surprise, instead of the usual windows installer, i was presented with a very odd looking messge box from the windows script host, asking me for the license key. Dubious, i cancelled the prompt, and ran setup.exe from the disk manually. While it was installing i decided to take a quick look at the disk, to find an autorun.vbs pointed at by the autorun.inf, with the following .... impressive... non-standard script:
'VB Script to install
'Office 2003
Dim WshShell, oExec, ProKey
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
ProKey = InputBox("In the box below,type your 25-character Product Key (no spaces or dashes). You will find this number on the sticker on the back of the CD case or on your Certificate of Authenticity. Product Key: ","Microsoft Office 2003 sp2 Installation Wizard")
If Len(ProKey) = 25 Then
Set oExec = WshShell.Exec(".\Setup.exe ")
Do While oExec.Status = 0
WScript.Sleep 100
Loop
Else
MsgBox "Product Key ERROR ",vbCritical
End If
MsgBox " Installation Finish "
Damn, its going to take me years to crack this protection ;)
