    If we used .6, do we use this to upgrade? and can we replace the files modded from .6 with this?

    I am working on the backup tool / uninstaller which will help with this. In the meantime, if you can't wait, get your Windows 7 CD and open the install.wim file with 7-Zip. Then extract all the files in the archive from the "Windows\System32\en-US" and "Windows\SysWOW64\en-US" folders contained therein, and overwrite all the files in your local copy of Windows in the corresponding "%windir%\System32\en-US" and "%windir%\SysWOW64\en-US" folders. Once you successfully overwrite all these files, go to Start -> Run -> and type "cmd /c mcbuilder" and wait for it to finish. This will probably take a while, so be patient.

    When all that is done, you should restart, and if all went well, you'll be safe to install 0.7.

    I haven't tested it with virtual machines.

    Just as a sidenote of answers to some previously asked questions in case they come up again:

    The password to run Chew-WGA is located in the Instructions.pdf file.

    Windows updates do in fact work after applying this tool.

    Chew-WGA does not use a blacklisted key, or any key at all for that matter. ;)

    There are no viruses or malware in Chew-WGA.

    Chew-WGA was designed for Windows 7 x86 or x64, and I don't expect that it will work on any other versions of Windows.

    It will NOT work on non-English versions of Windows 7, as it was designed for English versions only.

    Anemeros: Do you need contributions/Information from different localized versions?

    I think that here on MDL alot of different localized versions are being used....

    Hi Luxury 54,

    I am impressed with that 4 minute Acronis Image installing.

    I have never used an image.

    Would you be kind enough to walk me thru step by step on how to make the image & more importantally how to install Win 7 using that image ?

    Thanks much in advance.

    George

    I'm working on it. The goal all along was to have it multi-language ready by 1.0, but it may be done earlier.

    Actually, I don't need that information to get it working. However, I could use some translations of the Chew-WGA interface itself. PM me if anyone can help. I'll give you all the texts (including potential errors, etc) in English, and you could send me the translations into your desired language.

    anemeros this is the key to get it working on all langauges:

    Add this line to the batch
    Code:
    FOR /F "tokens=3" %%A IN ('REG QUERY "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\MuiCached" /v "MachinePreferredUILanguages"') DO SET LANG=%%A
    

    And replace every instance of en-US in the batch file with %LANG%

    You will need to unlock the file handles first... or you can wait for 0.8, which should work even if your copy of Windows 7 isn't squeaky clean.

    If I were to go about it this way, I'd use this:

    Code:
    FOR /F "usebackq tokens=3" %%N in (`REG QUERY "HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\International" /v LocaleName`) DO SET LANG=%%N
    Besides, I have a different idea in mind. Thank you anyway.

    You could run the included debug mode and post screenshots of where it fails.
