Ok the problem seems to be with the GB iso build's en-gb_windows_8.1_with_update_x64_dvd_4048142 en-gb_windows_8.1_enterprise_with_update_x64_dvd_4048611 * hash checked with MSDN all ok as i have installed the following also in a new VMware PC and can report that the same script works in the following iso builds 100% en_windows_8.1_with_update_x64_dvd_4065090 en_windows_8.1_enterprise_with_update_x64_dvd_4065178 en_windows_8.1_with_update_x64_dvd_4065090 So dont understand why the issue can be with the GB versions....
Just did a test on iso build en-gb_windows_8_1_pro_vl_x64_dvd_2971955 and same issue with that build so the problem is with GB versions of the latest windows 8 builds as stated above. Can someone else verify the same issue with the GB build or in fact other language build
From recently compiling an AIO I can confirm that happens with every index from En-GB 8.1 with Update ISO's, Multi Edition x86/x64, Enterprise x86/x64, Multi N x86/x64 and Enterprise N x86/x64. Although the key has been installed successfully, there is no prompt to enter key during install.

@ Nucleus Is the source WIM a standard Win 8.1 with update one ... ? Normally Pro would be index 1 and Core index 2 . Did you assure inserting the key into correct index? BTW: Did you try that from the DISM prompt of the adk, you're using the standard system DISM not the adk version .
Just curious... Having only ever done this with En-GB ISO's (8.1 with Update), is the following usual when converting to ProWMC? Again the command executes successfully and the install is fine, but is this usual or again something that has arisen with the En-GB ISO's?

Obviously not usual then! Again I can confirm this always happens with En-GB x86/x64, Pro to ProWMC. Maybe NICK@NUMBER11 can confirm this behaviour?
yep get the same error when running this code also.... Code: Dism /Image:c:\wmc\mount /Get-TargetEditions
Could you show me the link for the GB edition you're talking about? I'd like to see "The file handle supplied is not valid." Only GB 8.1? Not US? Not AU?
No. I can download en_windows_8.1_with_update_x86_dvd_4065105.iso, but not GB and FR. Any other links? Thanks.
