I am preparing a new VM with a bios rom with 10 CSL MSDM, will do another test when i am done with the first test
i did a fresh install of rs3 .15... all ok, did windows update to latest cu etc,, had the system reserved partition appear with a drive letter! I just went in to manage > disc management and removed the letter. Bit of a strange one as have only seen it happen on the odd insider build i was testing and only this once on rs3
Started on MRP 86.0.... A few little visual changes in the log will be seen. WinTel.cmd has had a few additions made. Still work in progress...

The CustomTheme parsing routine has had a minor tweak done which is faster by about 2-3 seconds not that you will notice or see because at that stage of Setup the script is ran invisible by default. The simple checks for SetupComplete and FirstLogxx .cmd scripts are working. For this test the two scripts just had a REM statement in each one. If any command that causes a reboot/logout cycle or removal of the Scripts folder are used within them will cause MRP to stop. =================As mentioned in a previous post the WinTel.cmd has had a few extra bits added, these are for Windows 10 only and go a bit further in removing/disabling certain 'Spying' Services. Use at your own risk, however if you know about scripting it is wise to check through that new section (at bottom of the script) and adjust as required as one part is bypassed by default that can stop some Win 10 apps from working. Windows Vista,7 and 8.x are not affected by this new section. Using WinTel.cmd on a Server is not recommended as it may cause the server to malfunction. Wintel.cmd has not been tested on Server editions. ETA for MRP v86.0 --- Maybe before end of this week or very early next. Hopefully before RS4 is released.
MRP 86 at T5 stage Now shows grace time remaining in the log for Vista/7 and Server OS's that use a SLIC, only if they are not already activated. For Windows 8.x/10 it should not show as that will always be zero, because they do not have a 'grace' allowance as such.

Used Retail.txt to bypass the SLIC so i could test this install. Note using the Retail.txt file will cause Windows Setup to ask for a key during the Username/password etc entry section. You can skip/next as i did to show the grace for this test install. Just something re-added that seemed to fail to work properly before, this is a new modified routine used.
MRP at test stage 7 all being well this is the one that goes baseline very soon. Quite a lot of reworking has been done in all areas, even DeCompile.exe has had an update. There is a clearer 'new' look to the log with a fair amount of rewording. More details later...
Yeah i made myself quite ill working on the project december/january time, was working 17+hrs a day for a week or more on it, i made mistakes which i have corrected, luckily the errors was not show stoppers. This is why i take my time now, been a bit hectic this week as quite a lot of work was done to the code and had to be fully tested, wanted it to be ready for the new RS4 release which it will be. Test 8 completed and the code has been finalized. There is a new option added in the end, experimental but seems to work as intended, off by default, unless you tick the box in the config v2.5 creator. Spoiler: The New Option.. Block OS related adverts (win10 only), it may still leave place marker tiles on the startmenu as this is a xml file that i do not want to touch as it can cause all sorts of freaky problems, but in tests no adverts was shown on those tiles and after manually deleting them they never came back. I installed W10 offline, then did a reboot cycle after the desktop appeared to make sure all options was set in place. Connected to the net and those tiles just stayed as the 'blank' ones with the big down arrow on. If you install the OS online during setup then i cannot guarantee those tiles will become adverts of some kind, however no new ones should appear if you have used the option to block them after setup has completed. Also it should block explorer adverts and ones on the Lock Screen too. It does not affect the Microsoft Store as i checked that and i could search and download apps, no it wasn't Candy Cr@p Soda before anyone asks. The QT (52.0) has had a few tweaks done to its code as well, so that too will be released at the same time as the MRP 86.0. Just sorting the changelogs etc and I will upload them soon.
MRP v86.0 and QTv52.0 have been uploaded, 2nd post download links updated and new passwords. See respective changelog's for more details as there is a lot of changes! Spoiler: Quick Summaries MRP 86.0 + There is a clearer 'new' look to the log with a fair amount of rewording. + There is a new option added (Experimental) - Windows 10 Only, Block Adverts in the Start-Menu, Explorer and Lock Screen... See change log for details. Some placeholder tiles may still be on the Start-Menu, delete them manually and they should not reappear - unless a future Update changes that. This option does not affect the Store. + Now shows grace time remaining in the log for Vista/7 and Server OS's that use a SLIC, only if they are not already activated. Which 99.9% of the time is 30 days. + WinTel.cmd updated with new routines to remove services, bypassed by default. Check the script for details what they do! Use at your own risk because if they are enabled they cannot be reverted! They could affect some apps or features such as Network diagnosis etc. + Enhanced error checking routines. + Simple check for SetupComplete and FirstLogxx '.cmd' files, see change log for details. + Many other tweaks done. + MRPConfigCreator updated to v2.5 to show the new option above. ==================== Query Tool 52.0 + Now shows any Grace allowance remaining for OS's that use a SLIC for OEM activation if the OS isn't already activated. + Some rewording here and there, you may not notice. + Now shows the physical amount of CPU's fitted (usually 1 for consumer motherboards), for those with Server/dual+ CPU enabled boards it should show the number fitted. + Changed saved QTxxxxxx-results.txt to QTxxxxxx-Report.txt , cosmetic but keeps things all matched up. Now for a break - unless a glitch needs fixing that appears.
I'm having problem getting this to work with the latest version. Been using an old version (over a year old), which worked fine. I'm unable to get MRP to find and apply my theme. Copying over my old working files just with new MRP.ini and the new decompile doesn't work. I've been then messing around with the settings to no avail. To make it easier I've uploaded the working old version I use and the new one in Google Drive, I don't get what is wrong. Some help would be appreciated. Edit: link removed as not needed anymore
Is your desired theme inside the OEM's.7z? And if yes, did you configure the mrpconfig.ini file correctly?
