boot.win on Win8 install disk has the refs files inside, but still it is better to add them to the OS itself.
Hi, how can I make own cab files for Deduplication? I need cab files for German and French. Thank you!
These CABs weren't made by me. They were just extracted from W2012S DVD (from install.wim). But I don't know, if this feature is translated to German or French even on the localized DVD. This is command prompt based feature without GUI.
Update to 1.8: Many Howto-s added (Boot Verbose, Disable Thumbs.db, IE10 with x64 tabs etc.) Themes updated Native Boot to Desktop updated MS Games added other minor tuning...
Your problems are not connected to refs or w2go features... ...you have tampered with system license probably ...you can uninstall the components (they are not hacks btw ) easily, just delete appropriate files and remove registry keys mentioned in reg files... Also: The updates NEVER worked on your installation (screenshot one)... Re: If I do a reinstall, I won't be able to activate properly. Why? Just enter the bought key. Easy thing. BTW: That MS error in Windows Store (I don't use Metro apps) is wonderful: "Something happened"
You should look into windowsupdate.log to view, what is causing the Update problem, these ReFS and W2Go components aren't. The pack was downloaded about 2516 times, so far and you are only one reporting this problem, so it is clear, it is rather in your configuration. That 31.1.2013 activation limit is valid only for 1st activation after that it should work OK. However if you "activated" it by fake-KMS "activation" of Pro and then added free WMC pack key, that isn't legal anyway and you are right, that some KB update will kill this "activation" (and that is your current Windows Update issue, because update KB....971 killed your false "activation" and disabled Windows Update and Store for obvious reasons, so don't blame the pack), but it is your problem, because in that case you bought nothing and didn't send a single penny to MS... (In that case you should KMS "activate" pro only and forget about WMC after reinstall)... or buy it (When I bought it for 30$+10$, MS sent me two keys, one for Pro and one for WMC, but now you will have to pay more)... ...and really, you calmly delete those keys for W2Go (it is the control panel "Namespace" only) and ReFS... There were no keys overwritten... (Via network access, no local FS drv like NTFS and ReFS are used) BTW: System has NO "the extra components installed"... only deduplication touches Optional Components and this can be nicely undone by DISM /online ... For all others: If you didn't buy the OS but did steal it, do not sign here for support, you will get none.
Did I said somewhere that it was frankenactivated by KMS? It is a WAU upgrade to ProWMC of a previously installed Pro off my TechNet subscription that I pay for. WindowsUpdate.log just references the same error mentioned before (soapfault) Maybe I missed something when uninstalling data deduplication stuff? Dism /get-packages says nothing about them...
I saw there's new ReFS driver in latest Windows 9 build leaked (6.3.9364.0). Any change to mod for Windows 8?
Ok. My bad. So I mean Windows Blue. I tried to use those new files from 6.3.9364.0, but ReFS doesn't work. I think we need to change some values in Windows Registry.
On an early alpha build I never would change anything because the entire issue is not finished yet and you cannot use it as a working system allegedly activated whatsoever
Ah, enthusiastic For most of files in new version of Windows, MS only changes the file version to the build default. The build 6.3 mostly contains Metro corrections. In the desktop and system functions it is just same W8 system. But I'll check it this week.
I wonder if this same methodology could be applied to get MultiPoint Server 2012 features to Windows 8? There's free trial download of MultiPoint Server, which is actually the same as the msdn version, available as EN-US_WMS_PREM_InstallDVD.iso. Benefits of MultiPoint Server is that you can have multiple concurrent different users if you have multiple keyboards/mice. EDIT: I guess it's too much work as there are a number of services, drivers, etc. I guess I should install WS12 and WMS12 and do a diff or something..
Have you tried to just import REG file from "my" package? BTW: There will be BIG update of the pack soon...
