HOWTO activate Windows 7 with WoW7

I seem to be having some issues getting this to work with my custom made PC. It has an ASRock A780 FullHD mobo. After following a tip about adding R: to the third line in the install.bat, I have it successfully installed but windows will not get past the boot screen.

 

I just wanted to say thanks...
I would be trying this on VMWare 6.5 first...

EDIT:

Working excellent in VMWare...

saabla: It could be either C: or E:

To check, open a command prompt as admin
type C: and press enter
type cd C:\bootmgr and press enter
if it says "directory name invalid" then bootmgr is present, and its C:

Then try the same for E:

edit: I think it's C:, since the "RECOVERY" one looks like it was placed there by your manufacturer and is totally separate.

thanks for your reply, the oem partition has been placed by the manufacturer aswell, would like to know what it is.

checked with the above commoands and it says the systen cannot find the path specified

 

Wow... really? Make sure you try D: and E:
It has to be one of the three.

 

Thanks trox, that helped
Still shows "Starting cmain()" but it disappears and boots after half a second which is cool. Hopefully an update will fix it perfectly.

Not really as a VM is emulating a different bios.

But, read my previous post, I have wow7 working on MY Dell XPS 1530 so can't imagine it wouldn't work on yours.

Installed ok on Win 7 on MS Virtual PC but did not work

Fresh install from 7600.16385.090713-1255_x86fre_client_en-us_Retail_Ultimate-GRMCULFRER_EN_DVD.iso

I followed the procedure and intalled the boot loader and the cert ok, no problems there but the system still indicates unlicensed and 30 days left of grace period. I suppose that's it, nothing else can do, right?

All you have to do is go to the R: drive (or wherever you put the wow7 folder) and overwrite the 'WOWfloppy_7.0.0_auto_HP.IMG' thats there with the one he's prepared and you downloaded. Then next time you boot up, it'll do it much faster.

 

hello,
i want to install wow in my C partition,
do i have to change something in the archive or i can just use it like that?
just run install.bat in admin mode and it will be fine ?

the install file looks like :
cd..
for %%X in (C: D: E do (
if exist %%X\bootmgr \wow7\bootsectgrldr.exe /nt60 %%X
)
cd..
exit

so if i extract and install all in the C drive, do i have to change something ?

 

D'oh..!!

Ok, tried that, and it woiked like a charm...tanks.

 

If your bootmgr file is in C: partition then go just the way it is (it worked for me)
And of course, run it as admin.
