i think that the uninstall code is not completed Code: ren %WINDIR%\System32\sppcommdlg.dll.bak sppcommdlg.dll icacls %WINDIR%\System32\sppcommdlg.dll /grant %USERNAME%:RX icacls %WINDIR%\System32\SLUI.exe /grant *s-1-5-18:F icacls %WINDIR%\System32\SLUI.exe /grant *s-1-5-20:F now it's fully completed ....
Thank you Primarly developed as a loader alternative but it is shaping up to be very useful! No horrid frankenbuilding either, 100% windows commands
@ Hazar at the first line of the batch when I'm running the following command takeown /F %WINDIR%\System32\sppcommdlg.dll I'm getting the following error C:\Windows\system32>takeown /F %WINDIR%\System32\sppcommdlg.dll ERROR: The system cannot find the file specified.
I have been disassembling some of the spp*.dll and have been seeing code that looks like Microsoft has added the ability to audit the system volume, the loader kids may have some challenges ahead. looking for these alternative way's is very smart.
@ nononsence Before using the Hazar's batch file, I was using its loader and I uninstalled it then run the batch file.
Sounds like sppcommdlg has already been renamed. @nononsensce Thanks, I am fascinated with disabling the activation evil at its root, rather than fooling it, best of all its 100% legal, and works on all editions of 7/R2 So any other thoughts? Should I start patching the control panel and stuff to make it say activated?
Maybe you could go into SLMGR.vbs and alter the Constants, so that when certain commands are run (DLI, DLV) they report falsely. Code: ' Used for dli/dlv private const L_MsgLicenseStatusUnlicensed_1 = "License Status: Unlicensed" private const L_MsgLicenseStatusLicensed_1 = "License Status: Licensed" or Code: private const L_MsgLicenseStatusLicensed = "The machine is permanently activated."
Done slmgr, just need to reverse the mechanism feeding into systemcpl.dll so it receives the status as activated.
I agree, I would scrub the whole system of any hint of activation, patch everything to report nothing I keep trying to switch to linux because of activation BS, but linux still needs a few years untill it will replace Windows on all of my machines.
