    Report the current situation to George King.
    I tried both forge licenses to Home and almost succeeded.
    But the problem remains the same.
    I brought some files from home but it's useless

    EDIT :
    I think the system might check the disk from scratch. And I tried spoofing even the SKU and noticed when I was asked to select the language of the installer it stuck.

    I'm going to bed early I didn't rest for hours. I've wasted the most time with this version since I started programming.

    For anyone who wants to use Starter components. on Pro and Home
    1.Insert starter CD.
    2.Copy startoc.in_ from CD i386 to desktop.Expend it to get startoc.inf with winrar.
    3.Copy startoc.inf to %windir%\inf.
    4.Run rundll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\inf\startoc.inf,Starter in cmd
    5.When noticing lossing files,locate to CD:\CMPNENTS\STARTER\I386\STARTOC.CAB.
    6.Reboot computer

    Yes, thats what Exactly does SYSOC in setup. I'm still wondering what else must be done to removal addon. My goal for successfull capturing for Starter editions is.
    1) Remove starter components
    2) Fully convert to Home
    3) Install manually components
    4) After capturing set Starter registry key

    Bad is I'm stuck on 1) :D

    I tried the same as you. We can't do anything with this DLL. Horrible austerity.

    Permission to be off-topic. Does anyone have a Windows XP Starter version that has been sold in Thailand? I really want it to preserve
