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

just try the oem folder method of installing the cert.

put the correct certificate in $OEM$\$$\system32\OEM

I may not have included the certificate for your bios
also can you point me to the vmware bios you have

I tested the script by installing in vmware and manualy installing the
key and grldr with a fujitsu slic rebooted made sure the fujutsu slic
was present then ran the script, It installed the fujitsu cert then
quit. windows was activated.

 

I just tested the oem folder as posted on my workstation with a
hp slic BIOS mod, the script ran and installed the correct cert
windows activated.

if you could post the slic and the cert you used in the bios mod
you have, I can add it to the oem folder.

 

nononsence
can you make an appilication that automatically add 2.1 slic into any glrdr file?
I mean that make "Browse" button to choose grldr file and make option to change the slic2.1 (acer/dell etc..) and build the new glrdr file..
if zsmin will release a new version for his loader I want to add be able to add Dell slic2.1 into it, but I don't know how to do it manually..

also I can't find the source for Biosversion.exe..

If I want to make a preactivation kit that activate all editions with a loader..
(without the need for the bios thing)
but I want to use zsmin glrdr with dell slic and cert..
how do I do that?
I know it's the same method like twith the OEM folder, but I dont know where to put the fles and how to install the loader..
please make a preactivation kit..
I tried to do it manually with SetupComplete.cmd:
SetupComplete.cmd:
@echo off
cd "%~dp0"
cscript //nologo "%~dp0SETUP\SCRIPTS\install_bootloader.exe"
I think it does not work...

I cant make an app for an unreleased loader but it would only take a few min
after it was released.

try the new oem folder

the problem with your setupcomplete.cmd

Code:

@echo off
"%~dp0install_bootloader.exe"

nononsence
thank you!
can you also explain how to do it manually (add slic2.1 into glrdr file), I have the slic2.1 bin file.
or does it too complicated for beginners?

what is this "%~dp0" thing?
the install_bootloader.exe is in the SCRIPTS folder whereas the SetupComplete.cmd file is inside the SETUP folder.
and what does "cscript //nologo" do? why to remove it?

which oem folder to try?
I want oem folder without the bios thing, that just install zsmin glrdr + the added dell slic with the matching cert..

 

its not complicated but you have to ues a hex editor find the slic and replace it if you screw up your computer wont boot.

%~dp0 inserts the path to the current directory so in this case

"%~dp0install_bootloader" = c:\windows\setup\scripts\install_bootloader.exe


setupcomplete.cmd, install_bootloader.exe, grldr, bootinst.exe should be in the scripts folder, put the cert in $OEM$\$$\system32\OEM

cscript is for VBS scripts only

I really appreciate you nononsence, you seems to have an extensive knowledge on things, thank you man! you are very smart and very helpful.

you did not make bootinst.exe, right? what does it do? is it just install the loader?

Did you update your "install_bootloader.exe" file, because I'm not sure if I have the original file.

I did not know that setupcomplete.cmd can be in the same any folder..
ok I will put the cert in $OEM$\$$\system32\OEM
but how should I name the cert? does not matter?

in the setupcomplete.cmd file I have only this lines:
@echo off
"%~dp0install_bootloader.exe"
is this ok?
no need for key right?

 

According to Urie you can put multiple certs in the $$\System32\OEM folder and windows will match the SLIC to CERT for you. (in you case it will take the DELL cert)

That way you can handle multiple different SLIC's already in BIOS.

 

Does it matter what name I give to the certs in System32\OEM ?

 

Nope, all that matters is the digital signature inside the CERT needs to match a signature inside the SLIC. Rename you files as you like. (but don't change file extension, that may be a deal breaker)

 

+1 for Batch Scripting

Nononsence had it right from the beginning. Here is the setupcomplete.cmd that do it way you want it. This way the installer script never gets called unless needed. Untested script, report back.

SetupComplete.cmd

Code:

@echo off

cscript //nologo %systemdrive%\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs -dli | findstr /C:"License Status: Licensed" >nul
if errorlevel 1 goto :not_licensed
exit

:not_licensed
cscript //nologo "%~dp0install.vbs"
exit

This way more versatile too, now you can use any install script, for instance if you want to use Hazar's pre-activation kit, change the script to this.

Code:

:not_licensed
"%~dp0Install.exe"
exit

 

I tested with the vmware bios you posted, the script ran and installed
the dell certificate and quit. windows activated

Im not sure what you are doing wrong, start with a clean slate and then
re-download the posted oem folder then extract it to DVD_ROOT\Sources
WITHOUT any changes and install the product key. your done make the
ISO.
