    @timesurfer,

    I currently use Daz loader 1.7.7 to 1.79 and very happy because they are excellent Windows 7 loaders. I am equally impressed with your Infinite Rearm v2.3. Personally, your IR4 v2.3 in some aspect is more secured than bio-mod in light of IR4 now sets OS install date same as IR4 installed dates. I don't mind run IR4 every 150 days. With IR4 2.3, Is 30 day task for new 30 day trial history?

    Windows 7 activation is not done yet as far as M$ is concerned. We may be laughing at M$ now, but I am concerned that new forthcoming W7 SP1 may possess some tricks in it that M$ may have the last laugh for people using loader. It is a games and in any games you win some and you lose some. I expect M$ may grab an upper hand sooner or later, if that happen, IR2.4 will come in handy while expert and brainy tech geeks at MDL work on circumvention of forthcoming new WAT from M$.

    I want to test your IR4 2.3 in my old Dell laptop that has 2 hard drives (switch in and out). One small one that I can test IR4 2.3 in it. It has activated W7 Ultimate activated by Daz 1.79. DO I have to re-install W7 to use your IR4 v2.3? Can I uninstall Daz loader and run your IR4 v2.3? Is that the right way to go about it? Any guidance is appreciated.

    No dude it's still here. I just polished GUI up a bit with IR4 2.3 with the confirmation box to automatically restart

    I think if the guys needed or wanted to when they flash bios at boot they could easily reset the install date like we do

    Yes you can just uninstall any loader, etc, reboot and use IR4 2.3

    After you click install kinda two things happen

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    IR4 2.3 - Behind the scenes

    1. When you click install your 30 day rearm task gets imported
    2. Then the reset.bat file gets put in C:\ then IR4 restarts for you after you click the yes button
    3. The reset.bat files eventually gets deleted around restart and you will see a installkey.bat file will be in C:\ until your default key gets installed then installkey.bat dissapears
    4. You'll also notice the non-genuine watermark disappears in about a minute.
    5. As soon as you click the OK in the message box the installkey.bat file also disappears
    6. Then simply put every 30 days you receive a message to restart your pc and upon restart you'll have another 30 days trial and so on...
    7. At the very end of the 150 days trial at 0 rearms 0 days MS will give you "friendly" message.
    8. Then you just click install and follow instructions all over again...lol

    I set the GUI yes/no "restart" confirmation window to 3000 mili seconds so it pops up right after it says "successful task is created"...lol

    Not sure how you would work around the problem I thought up today.

    You reset the trial date in the registry but the Windows update history clearly shows all the dates which things were installed on. Anything that's prior to your said installation date will show WAT that the system's been modified as there would be a data mismatch. The same goes for installed programs etc.

    Yea I did think that a few days ago. I guess MasterDisaster was thinking WAT if it came after IR4 specifically then it would compare the install date and the first day of trial with 4 rearms and 30 days. I believe it was a specific move for a specific thing. Guess maybe we'll have to set all dates to match...lol

    Changing all dates would be impractical. The event log itself will show all the wrong doings in the system.

    I was just caught unawares of the evil side of Run task if missed.

    Here is what happened. I ran your program, declined the reboot because was updating my system. I had left the system idle for a while and suddenly I got "Your system has been rearmed successfully. Please restart your system for effects to take place.". Once the rearm is done there is no looking back.

    Has any of you had a similar experience? Please share it here.

    I haven't experienced the Dark side of "run task if missed" yet...lol Sounds just like it takes care of rearm like it should. Then at your disposal you restart. I don't see how thats a problem. We keep people form restarting. Then when they have time they restart. Maybe explain more please :)

    I didn't even run reset.bat, I was just idling in Windows and it ran automatically. This is just 15-20 minutes after clicking Install in IR4.

    As long as it happened at or after its suppose to rearm by way of task then it's fine. Are you saying it happens randomly not in tangent with task rearm date

    I noticed we can't click install twice or the timing between having clicked install (beginning of task) and the actual 30 day later task (first run)

    The task is running as it has been configured to run. Say when you click install now it sets the task at 14:30:00 every 30 days. After that the task scheduler will detect that the Rearm task needs to be run because the task has been missed and queues it. After 10 minutes (idle time) it will run the task and rearm.

    I had noticed that the task being queued when I was testing the xml but ignored it each time by ending the task.

    Yeah running twice will change the Task begin date to the current time.

    Forgive me I still don't see how this an inconvenience or problem? I think what your saying is the special "user" settings on the task don't wait behind the confirmation/action window, it just does it. Can this be a "refine the task set better" thing or no?

    I was able to recreate the above problem. Click Install and reboot. Open Task Scheduler and look at the Rearm task its status will be Queued. After 10 minutes of system idle it will rearm your system.

    What I am trying to say here is you'll just lose your first rearm right after the reset.

    One thing what I can do is change the task start time 30 days from the clicking install.

    @ jverga

    Can you share the Embedded default key with us, so we can add support for it.

    I've never experienced that problem.

    Whatever you can do to fix the problem you found we should do. Also the task should be set to run 30 days after install anyways right? Thats when it starts not after restart

    I think he said it worked and he installed IR4 so how did he get the key installed like IR4 does for you after restart. Wouldn't he gotten error if his version didin't get queried by 1.bat?

    I thought he had a different key because that version has been released recently. The only Embedded version on the key list is "ServerEmbeddedSolution". I just asked to compare the key with that one.

    That would be cool since one of the keys worked...lol

    When you said click install and reboot did you mean do RE cmds and reboot or not do them and reboot. I haven't experienced what you have yet?

    And don't remember any one telling me as such

    Reboot and don't do the RE cmd.
