    What video? Basics are: Create a mrpconfig.ini file and put it in the "$OEM$\$$\Setup\Scripts" folder and put ei.cfg and $OEM$ folder in "ISO:\sources" folder.

    Sorry for late reply, had to go out for a while.

    without the ei.cfg, if the computer was bought with windows 8.x or windows 10, then MRP would not be run because Windows Setup would ignore MRP or any scripts.

    The ei.cfg would tell Windows setup to not use the MSDM key (if present) and allow MRP to work. Plus it allows you to then select which Edition to install from the list during setup.

    MRP would detect the MSDM key and if the Edition install matched the key then it would insert the key automatically. If the key did not match, then MRP would not insert the key but just save it in a text file for your reference.

    G:\Sources is the right place for the $oem$ folder to go into.

    G: = Your drive letter.

    Sources is the folder where $oem$ and the ei.cfg file goes into.


    the ei.cfg goes into Sources folder not anywhere else, if you wish to use the ei.cfg that is.

    I try to explain in simple English but it not easy as translation to another language can change the wording or meaning.

    At T6 RC and looking good for release very soon. :)

    Quite a lot of work been done in various areas, most is log text related.

    Plus the new options added.

    WinTel.cmd has been updated with some, (55 actually), new Telemetry blocking IP addresses in the firewall. It not a complete list as they keep adding them all the time but its a start. :)

    People have asked about disabling Defender on Windows 10, well i have a routine that does that and it indeed does prevent it from running.

    No files are removed or edited in any way, it just uses M$ tools against them. :p

    Actually only ONE file is deleted - SmartScreen.exe but that can be a pain to attempt to disable. So i will just say it is disabled. ;)

    However to revert it is more complicated as several registry areas are tweaked and related scheduled tasks have been disabled. This is why I am hesitant in adding it as a option at the moment.

    As there will always be one that wants it back on.:rolleyes:

    So for now it is a internal test option ONLY.

    It leaves the firewall part alone as most scripts can disable that or partly screw it up so 3rd party AV's may not function correctly that use the Windows firewall's engine.

    Also it disables Smartscreen.exe, but if you run sfc.exe at any point in the future then it can make that file return!

    If there is enough call for it then i will add it as an Advanced Option, but be warned, if you use that option to disable Defender and then want to revert it, don't disable it in the first place!!

    Ok, have added the Disable Defender Advanced option. :)

    As can be seen in the attached picture that if you select this box you will get a warning message box.

    It is highlighted in RED for a reason!

    When looking at the Windows Defender Security Centre you will see that the Windows Firewall is running.

    The App & Browser control bit will have a ! shown this is because the SmartScreen.exe is disabled. Also you will see in that section that Check Apps and files is OFF, SmartScreen for Edge will be still showing as Block selected but because that file is disabled it is actually OFF.

    With Store Apps -- nothing is selected (it is OFF), you cannot select anything as it will be ignored.

    Some areas will have green ticks against, some parts look as they are running but they are blocked. This is to prevent event log errors, although cannot guarantee there won't be any at some point.

    Most screens in that area will have the yellow '...managed by your organization' line showing, this is normal as some policies are in place.

    Defender should not interfere with anything you do if you have used this option.

    In Task Manager you will see the Windows Security Health Service running, and also Service Host: Security Center - this is to allow the Firewall to work properly , these use very little resources. You could disable these services if you wish but then you may encounter other problems later.

    So far in testing i have had no problems occur.

    As always this may not be the case for everyone as there is so many other factors to consider, hardware or if the Install image has been edited to remove stuff etc. Your mileage may vary.

    Make sure you either have a 3rd party Antivirus installed or use common sense!

    No revert script will be given, so THINK before you blindly go selecting this particular option, do you really want to disable Defender or might want to use it later, if in doubt don't tick that box!

    Bit of a delay as yesterday i went and enjoyed a heatwave we rarely get in Britain and done a bit of gardening. :)

    Got a bit too much of the Sun's rays and ended up with heat stroke. :eek:

    So a feeling bit rough today, but I am finalizing things for MRP94.

    Windows 7 tests in progress as tweaked a few error and reason messages this morning.

    Also edited the Config Creator to pop up messages on some Options which need a bit of thought if you wish to use them.

    Change log is done, some ReadMe's updated. Baseline'd now as it is code complete, just checking for last minute adjustments etc.

    So all being well later today it will be ready to upload. :)
