No, it doesn't. The cd-key information is missing from the windows registry, so it doesn't work (in fact nothing from the OFP installation is remaining in your registry as the Windows installation makes a brand new registry so all old entries are lost, even though the files are still remaining on the disc). The easiest solution is to reinstall your GOTY.

Edit: completely wrong section you posted in btw.
