    I remember seeing a link to downloading windows 7 iso's, but I can't seem to find it now. Can anyone help me with that?

    I currently use IR4. It's fantastic. Thanks a ton to everyone involved with it.

    Hi like the programm I created a custom winpe, using instructions online i added language and script packages to winpe then modified the startnet.cmd file to read,
    c:
    ir4
    wpeutil reboot
    i then used easybcd 2.01 to create a dual boot system (7 and winpe) i used ireboot program to start winpe on next boot i clicked restart and everything went flawless sytem booted to winpe commandline loaded ir4 and exited with no input by me, im sure i can figure out a way now to use windows task scheduler to launch ipreboot program every 120 days or whaterver it is, it would be nice if there was a command like reagentc.exe bootore, to launch my winpe but thats not possible, my question to you though is, do you have any ideas of how I can reboot to winpe using some script I could put in a batch file instead of using ireboot program, either way when im done I will have a sytem that requires no user interaction at all 4EVER, thx for any help you can give me and thx 4 your program.

    So you've already completely automatically restarted into RE/PE then did cmds and restarted into windows? How long did it take from install button to back into windows. We did something similar with DISM but it took like ten minutes so good luck with whatever you do. That would be neat to create a task to run an .exe to do this in some type of interval however it would be nicer to just reset rearms inside windows and if you did that I would be impressed :p

    Later dude

    lol at my spelling/typing

    wasnt timing it but winpe booted way faster than windows and commands ran instantly (way faster than clicking on login stuff in winre) then exit and my normal reboot time for windows7, so right now in windows7 I tell ireboot program i want to boot to winpe on next reboot and when I click restart its all automatic from there. I really don't want to use ireboot program and have windows scheduler point to it would really like to use a bat file but im not a programmer i know maybe 3 commands lol, but I can cut and paste and piece together stuff or ask others for help, I really just like the idea of installing ir4 once and my custom winpe image (which has no effect on winre,) and then automating with task scheduler to reboot into winpe once every 4 months prob while im sleeping, and never having to think about it again.

    I don't think doing what you suggest is really beneficial because of speed. MD says it only takes his system like 3 minutes to install IR4 and that's about the same as most solutions here honestly. It's just a matter of convenience and a matter of being more user friendly for the beginner. I find it fairly easy to start this from IR4 inside windows. Really the only thing that could be improved is resetting to 4 rearms inside windows. But that's why I did the manually rearm button just in case comp is off. IR4's rearm button also doesn't require a restart just rearms inside windows which was the last and one of the biggest accomplishments for IR4. Perhaps your way could be done with a USB that could hold your winPE image and then a task could run that every 4 months unless you miss 30 day task then like us you'll have to click rearm button to get another 30 days and come out of notification.

    So how are you rearming every 30 days...lol With magic :eek:...lol

    Are you just going to use IR4 to rearm since it rearms inside windows without the usual restart :p...lol

    Also did you disable the nags that are usually in trial unless you do registry setting...

    Okay, I assumed your program created a task in windows scheduler to rearm every 30 days and remove nag screen when I manually installed it 1 time and that task would stay there permantly unless i unistalled ir4 or manually removed it from the windows task scheduler, if i was wrong please tell me. (not "magic") now all my scheduling my boot into my custom winpe does is start your ir4 reset to 4 rearms, i am at no point uninstalling ir4 so how am i not going to have the rearms every 30 days or not have the nag screen removed? ? ?

    Didn't know you installed IR4 already...lol Yea you are correct the magic is already done with IR4 but how did you get IR4 to run automatically then bypass it's own rebooting into RE into your winPE?

    So you will still will have to make sure your comp is on for the task to run or you'll still have to use IR4 to rearm manually. So really I'm uncertain how you can run IR4 from your winPE. Are you saying you used the code from the last page in conjunction with your image and where does your image sit again

    IR4 is really no secret that's it's an interactive solution so I'm not sure how much effort or time you'll save with this but the best of luck.

    And also your comp will have to be on for the task to run the IR4/winPE :eek: code

    The improvement is that in 150 days i wont have to spend 5 min to reset. i spent some time now doing this but now i can forget it forever just like i can forget about your attempt at being a smart azz with your magic comment earlier when it seemed to me you really don't understand the order in which your own program works lol
    maybe your partner did most the job well anyway im done with commenting here.

    It doesn't really save time cause you have to make sure your computer is on for it to work but nice try ;) Really we already explored a automatic reset rearms and to include it inside the IR4 program would make it too big a program to download and to go to all the trouble to do a mutated winPE image and have an extra task running is just not really an improvement. And you seem to have an bad attitude towards all the people who have had some part in developing the only rearm concept that is available in a thread globally. I don't have to seek any extra credit for in the first page all the work and effort has been recorded in all three threads ultimately manifesting in the final work IR4.

    There is no need to compete with what is already as perfect as it can be and just perhaps show some respect for developers at MDL. Just some advice to someone who only took from IR4 not actually added to it's development in any way ;)

    Yes I am a beginner programmer and I am honored to have been helped to make this solid solution by way of Masterdisaster's assistance and expertiese but at least I was honest with my abilities and need to be helped as I have been helped...lol :biggrin:

    And yes I know completely what IR4 does and how...lol :p

    Okay 1 more comment! bad attitude? I came here and told you my situation and asked for help or ideas on how to do something. you replied with no help. i answered all your questions about what I was doing, YOU then tried to get cute with your magic comment and got pwnd and it was obvious you didn't know how your own program really did things, I had no attitude at all when I came here and asked for your help, instead of ideas on my situation I pretty much got attempts at insults that backfired and exposed your lack of knowledge, which is obvious to anyone reading your questions about your own program, I told you I know about 3 commands but I do know the logical order this program follows, my attitude got nasty only after your "glad you're having fun comment" I just let the magic comment go,My advice to you is if someone comes asking for help, help them or just tell them you can't. now i'm really done.

    Again I know how IR4 works completely for only MD and I have seen the final 3.1 code...lol If your being demanding about needing help then that is why you won't get any help but honestly you didn't seem like you needed help and i told you of our experience with trying to make IR4 completely automated and our successes, failures and so on!

    I am sincere in my amusement and playing attitude so when I said "glad you're having fun" I meant it cause I have been super committed to IR4 and it's eventual final build as a combination between MD's and my ideas. I don't lack knowledge in IR4 cause it's my program that I initiated development in becoming an beginner based GUI. Being demanding in a "free" help/advice environment is not recommended nor was I demanding in ever asking for help in having co-created one of the most solid win 7 solutions IR4. What have you developed? A borrowed IR4 concoction? You said after your attempt at invalidating IR4 and my participation in it's development that you were done before but...

    Again I always wish a person good luck with any fun they have with coding or programming but IR4 is fine and complete as it can be within it's OS limitations.

    For instance if you wan't to truly be "sleeping" while we are spending "only" 3 minutes installing IR4 every 5 months...lol How bout try Phazors uniKMS with win Pro and office VL then only once every 6 months do you have to "awaken" to take 1 minute to activate both...lol

    Or try Daz loader, Chew7 or removeWAT or smartmarks, etc... They all will allow you to sleep and so forth...

    Simply put IR4 is the The only "interactive" solution to use windows 7 forever without patches or activators

    Which implies some "interaction" so to improve upon the simplest of "interactions" is just silly :rolleyes:...lol

    p.s. Honestly I still don't see how you can open IR4 then click install then yes then somehow your "program" bypasses RE into your winPE image that does "everything" then restarts like IR4 does after RE cmd's

    What did you do to achieve that. I asked if you used the code for IR4 3.0 in this thread but you said you just "used' the GUI and you did it so how indeed did you do it not in theory but reality?

    sincerely,

    IR4 "Co-Developer"

    timesurfer :D

    I think you didnt understand timesurfer's remarks and questions clearly, he was "glad you are having fun" implied that he wishes you are enjoying IR4 and encouraged you to experiment..
    Also, since he knows exactly what IR4 does he asked u how you are achieving without going into RE..because i think you didnt understand how IR4 works in the first place..Because, you are assuming that IR4.bat remains in the C: drive and you automated for it..but your assumption is Wrong..
    After installing for the very first time, IR4 resets the rearm->create the rearm task->removes trial nags->deletes the batch files for installing default key and reset rearm batch file.
    So he asked you whether you refered the source provided by MasterDisaster to include the wpa registry key delete part in your custom made WinPE..and just wanted you to know that MDL is a great forum, and people here are very helpful and patient..If you cannot appreciate a bit a fun then i am afraid that is your problem..
    Anyway good luck with your experiments..
