I am saying for unknown reasons, it does not work for me. Make Pro-Work ISO (old build) Install using key Make new Pro-Work ISO (newer build) Upgrade System tells me it needs to be activated I am not denying it works for you. --- I just wonder if there is anti-hardware activation and perhaps I'm black listed somehow?!
When I installed 16299.0 I did not insert key. Instead I mounted install.wim, put GenuineTicket.xml in specified location, committed, and unmounted. Then I installed, and it was activated immediately.
Slightly OT but since we talk new build as Release; is there any AeroGlass beta available or still only the Theme hook working ?
Pretty easy with the correct file set (found them burried in one of the MSFN threads after a painfull search since raffael doesn't seem to support his hook any further): NOTE: I only tested the DLLs on 1703 successfully so far, no clue if new ones exist (would need to be checked if it fails in your tests). See attachement (you should get which REG file to execute on which sys arch ) Best is to copy to a new \AeroGlass\ folder in system root and run the reg from there. Reboot is recommended.
My thanks prior to investigation. I will let you know how this works. Currently I am running aeroglass as a service with srvany.exe. So, I will disable that.
The UXThemesignaturebypass is what I already use, and it works fine for themes. I use the x64 version. I have been using it for a while. If you have UEFI, you must disable secure boot.
