Creating auto-activating DVD's-With or Without Loader???

I query the EditionID value from the registry, if it helps.

 

Just a little simple question.

Is the UAC in effect when installing from SetupComplete.cmd? When i try to "test" the Install.vbs in windows i have to disable UAC first.

 

I just "run as administrator" the .cmd script that calls it

 

the regitry thing is done and tested, I have to test a bunch of other features
before release.

 

Well take a look at the source for my newest kit and see if it helps/see if you can improve my kit.

Prepared Win Vista AIO DVD with x86 and x64 that installs Win Vista preactivate ?

This is a real good piece of work by nononsence (for the scripts) and sushil1576 (for the guide) and the rest (for contributing ideas & feedback).

Would this script also work for Vista (with SP2) by simply correct the iso label, and set the iso file name and sha1 sum respectively?

 

I also would like to thank all concerned with posting scripts and info relating to auto-activating Win7 ISO.

Thanks to all involved, I have been able to make an automated extract, edit, rebuild ISO tailored to my specific requirements.

I wanted to make a 32bit ISO with all wim images edited for all versions, including my favourite programs and either activate as OEM from bios; or loader if needed.

Thanks to the scripts and info posted on this thread I have been able to achieve what I wanted.

Only proper that I post my thanks.

 

Thanks for this tool. I really appreciate the work. I have already made an AIO Windows 7 RTM DVD using the manual method and was preparing to add all the certificates and keys to this DVD. Now, most of the work is already done!

I intend to use this DVD only on systems that have a SLIC 2.1 BIOS. However, after reading through some of this thread, it seems that this tool will automatically install a loader if the correct SLIC 2.1 BIOS is not found. The intention is to use this DVD as a clean recovery disk for OEM systems. It will not be used on non-OEM systems.

Is it possible to edit this tool to remove the loader?

Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll test out your suggestions and report back as soon as it's done. I just need to change the BIOS on Virtual PC to SLIC 2.1

idea

cant you just delete '==================================================================================
'install bootloader
'==================================================================================



If objFileSystem.FileExists(TargetDrive & "\GRLDR") Then
Set objGRLDR = objFileSystem.GetFile(TargetDrive & "\GRLDR")
If objGRLDR.Attributes AND 1 Then
objGRLDR.Attributes = objGRLDR.Attributes XOR 1
End If
If objGRLDR.Attributes AND 2 Then
objGRLDR.Attributes = objGRLDR.Attributes XOR 2
End If
If objGRLDR.Attributes AND 4 Then
objGRLDR.Attributes = objGRLDR.Attributes XOR 4
End If
End IF

objFileSystem.CopyFile currentDIR & "\bin\GRLDR", TargetDrive & "\", 1

If objFileSystem.FileExists(TargetDrive & "\GRLDR") Then
Set objGRLDR = objFileSystem.GetFile(TargetDrive & "\GRLDR")
If NOT objGRLDR.Attributes AND 1 Then
objGRLDR.Attributes = objGRLDR.Attributes XOR 1
End If
If NOT objGRLDR.Attributes AND 2 Then
objGRLDR.Attributes = objGRLDR.Attributes XOR 2
End If
If NOT objGRLDR.Attributes AND 4 Then
objGRLDR.Attributes = objGRLDR.Attributes XOR 4
End If
End If


Shell.Run chr(34) & currentDIR & "\bin\bootinst.exe" & chr(34) & " /nt60 " & TargetDrive, 2, 1

if you dont want the bootloader installed or you could make 2 scripts, one with bootloader the other without
