    So in TV meth and I and found out at least on his system he coudn't enter default key

    Wasn't so clear if MPC.bat ran and did 3 success msgs we're recieved

    Wasn't so clear why he had restart problem

    Or how he fixed it...lol

    When it says installed thats means IR5 task is installed

    I'm redoing the first post link so all cmds in MPC are seen to error or not

    I think you understand now

    I can't go into RE with you so you'll have to do it

    And only use MPC please

    New link on first post

    Thank you

    It takes 3-5 minutes to install IR5 and if you don't want to test the rearm concept for W8 then don't

    Otherwise it's a great concept that give same appearance and usage as if activated while not messing with system files and never bricking boot and with MPC it's 100% successful installation on W7/R2 :p

    New MPC on first post

    :sith:

    Correct order of things to do

    From clean install run out rearms

    Then

    1. Click install (this puts IR5 task and does antinag) (Actually doesn't really matter now so you can skip if you want)
    2. Then put MPC.bat in system drive
    3. Reboot into RE (Run C:MPC or whatever RE says local drive is E:MPC, F:MPC, etc...)
    4. Then after you get 3 confirmations and reboot back into windows then
    5. Install key


    Please re-read over instruction

    So for you the

    Code:
    slmgr /rearm
    cmd is breaking something not product key entering?

    Thanks

    Recovery Environment

    PE = Preinstalation Environment (Your install disk)

    It's where you repair start up and can use cmd prompt, etc...

    Well I'm uncertain as his testing description was kinda iffy

    He said that rearming broke his W8

    And that he couldn't run the MPC.bat in system drive to reset rearms

    This is why I've only uploaded MPC which is very manual and easier to troubleshoot any problems

    Any testers out there that aren't banned

    Then perhaps you could follow instructions here and test for me

    Code:
    Correct order of things to do (Hence MPC instructions)
    
    From clean install run out rearms (Should be two times)
    
    Then
    
    1. Click install (this puts IR5 task and does antinag) (Actually doesn't really matter now so you can skip if you want)
    2. Then put MPC.bat in system drive
    3. Reboot into RE (Run C:MPC or whatever RE says local drive is E:MPC, F:MPC, etc...)
    4. Then after you get 3 confirmations and reboot back into windows then
    5. Install key

    Just tested MPC in a test PC here running 7989, it gives error 0x80070426 when it tries to reinstall the product key.
