If you have image mounted to C:\mount folder the install key is: Starter dism /Image:C:\mount /Set-ProductKey:key here Home Basic dism /Image:C:\mount /Set-ProductKey:key here Home Premium dism /Image:C:\mount /Set-ProductKey:key here Professional dism /Image:C:\mount /Set-ProductKey:key here Ultimate dism /Image:C:\mount /Set-ProductKey:key here Alfa
I have posted the source for biosversion.exe, install_bootlader.exe a few times you can search for it. bootinst.exe installs the bootcode for grldr I have posted about this also search for it, I have also posted about installing the SLIC into GRLDR and have a few scripts posted here search for it. install_bootloader.exe mounts the hidden partition, copies the grldr file to it then installs the bootcode and the unmounts the hidden partition grldr,bootinst.exe and install_bootloader.exe must be in the same folder. Mr Jinje's script is MUCH better solution you should see if he will add the few lines to make it work for you.
yes install the key with dism. I have not been able to deactivate my bios modded machine, I can install the trial key install the wrong cert install the OEM-SLIP key and it reactivates. and im not really intrested in reformating it to test if it works on a bios modded machine.
Hi...i just tried the Iso in a vmware with modded dell vmware bios...but it still gets activated with the loader and not with the dell certs...But it does gets activated...Can anyone please look into this?...even though it does gets activated without the modded bios file in vmware...so,it means that the loader part of the script is working fine and it is only the other part that we have to look into...thanks
OK, nonon's script looks like it first checks the license status and if activated it exits. 1st question) Did you use DISM or unattend.xml to apply the product key. Even though the key is inside nonon's vbs, it still needs be applied to the image, otherwise the machine will not be activated when his script checks license status (thus installing GRLDR) 2nd question) Is the DELL cert in the Sources\$OEM$\Windows\System32\OEM folder (you VMware has DELL BIOS right)
I noticed the same thing, it looks like the script checks the license status before it gets updated after the certificate install, I will add a command to update the license status, or just pause the script for a few seconds. Im testing a fix now.
Hi jinje...Yes i used Dism to integrate only key in the iso for all the three editions for which keys were available....but i didn't integrate the certs as the certs were supposed to inserted by the script...i used the oem folder which nononsence uploaded...thanks
Hi... nononsence, i tried out the new Oem folder that u uploaded...but still it doen't install the oem certs according to the bios...it installs the loader and the windows gets activated with acer certs..thanks
His script doesn't run until long after the OEM:SLP activation occurs during the install. So that cert will not be available to windows installer when it needs it. Only way to OEM:SLP activate is to copy DELL cert into this folder. (create it if necessary) $OEM$\$$\System32\OEM Hopefully, next install you will get true pre-activation and when setupcomplete.cmd finally calls Nonon's script, your machine will already be activated and it will not install GRLDR. Let me know if that is case.
