Hi there, sorry, I just don't know how to export a 13500 ressource. I'm using the ressource hacker tool with vmwp.exe. But I don't know what I'm supposed to do here. Google doesn't give infos too. Can someone help me ? Thx !
This is one of those invaluable tools for those of us that are using hyper-v instead of other higher-priced options for virtualization. Makes it easier to configure and capture images for systems, and not need to have a lab machine for each brand of system. It works beautifully, and helps to save sysadmin time
New version released Thanks all for feedback. I'm finished work on the core of modification. Full automation from executable to executable now available! In new version not needs to do anything manually. If you added your own files to a collections Original_EXE_DLL, SLIC, MSDM_Key or SLP - backup its. Delete the V-Tools folder with previous version before deployment new version. P.S. Many changes in the first post, please read before use
Sorry for the novice question, but what does this do? I'm assuming it allows you to modify the virtual machine executable with your own SLIC information so you can activate a virtual machine guest with an OEM cert and key. Is this correct? I'm guessing there isn't a certificate or key that exists allowing you to activate against the VRTUALMICROSOFT SLIC, and that is why this was created. Or am I completely wrong?
This is correct, but not completely. This tools also allows you to add OEM SLP string and\or MSDM table. Even if you have a certificate for VRTUALMICROSFT SLIC, then you could activate only Vista or Server 2008 guest OS, because existing SLIC is SLIC 2.0, and it's accessible only for Hyper-V Gen.1 VM's. For Windows 7 or Server 2008 R2 you need SLIC 2.1, for Server 2012 - SLIC 2.2, for Server 2012 R2 - SLIC 2.3. For Windows XP or Server 2003 , 2003 R2 - SLP string required, and for Windows 8, 8.1, 10 automaticaly activation - MSDM table required. Note: 1. If you have SLIC 2.3 you can activate all previous version OS. 2. MSDM table is not for activation only, it's prevent install OS edition, other than defined by key
