it could be anything really. cmos battery loosing power (although that usually affects time/date and bios settings), usually hard to pin point, the mrp choked at the vista 2.0 slic section, but at least it completed but with no theme set.
@Dubioza Kolektiv I rechecked the debug and project logs you posted and it actually stopped at the System Model Name area and I am guessing there was some invalid characters within the text returned which in turn caught out the variable parsing. I have now put in a check for invalid characters in the model name that is returned via the bios result. For a user entered model name it is pre-checked during the option parse stage earlier on for any not allowed characters. The bet is that ( ) - brackets was present in the model name result which crashed out the parsing of the result. Have fixed that now, if that was indeed the case. The QT does not look at the model name, so that is unaffected.
I do not understand, I changed the name after installing windows.

:ComputerModelName= was blank in your options ini file. that is you didn't set one which is ok So MRP looked at the BIOS itself and must of found something there which had brackets ( ) in or some other invalid character which then crashed the project. Was not your fault. Just one of those things. MRP will auto look for any Model name within the bios unless you enter your own via that option which is entirely up to the user.
Query Tool v74.0 has been uploaded, 2nd post download link, password and hashes updated. Spoiler: Summary + Release Identifer, this shows a usually 4 digit reference such as 1511, 1703, 1809 etc. + Portable Mode this is for a 'live' type OS such as Windows to Go etc, however the QT may not run on those type of OS's due to limitations of .Net etc. + OS Installation Type now shows Client {Non Server} for consumer OS's and Server {xxxx} for Servers the number within the { } are the number such as 2008, 2012R2, 2016, 2019 etc. + Licenses Allowed, this is usually set as 1 but may change for Servers with 'seats' etc. + HyperVisor Present, Yes or No - shows if a Virtual Machine is in use. + PC System Type, this is like the chassis one but a different WMIC call, this should show such as Desktop, Workstation etc. It also depends on the Motherboard maker's grading some may say your board is a Workstation model but it may not have the classification certificate and may be then classed in the BIOS as a desktop. + Part of a domain, if your PC is connected to a network and is part of a domain then this will most likely say Yes. Generally it will be No. + Code tweaks here and there and moved about some section parts. Also added some extra error checking. + Last minute addition - shows RS5 {17763.1} as October 2018 Baseline Release.
Hello, I use your MDL project a lot on different computers and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't I also don't get a log in the C: drive so I'm not sure what is the problem. I right now have a computer where the latest script doesn't work. My guess: What I did notice is that the laptop doesn't have a good UEFI implementation. Meaning, I have to launch Windows install from the USB key in CSM (legacy) but I can do an UEFI install with a GPT key. Could it be that your script is confused because a non-UEFI install has 2 partitions on the drive and a UEFI install has 4? The USB key gets booted as a legacy (MBR) but we do format the drive with 4 paritions (UEFI) instead of 2 (MBR). Again, without logs it's just my guess. However I would like to spend some time thinking on a solution because a lot of setting don't apply either when the script doesn't run.
MRP will run on MBR, GPT even ReFS if bootable and windows can be installed on it! If the computer came with either Windows 8.x or 10 then most likely it will have a MSDM key in the bios to 'lock' it to a certain Edition. On those devices you will need the ei.cfg file placed into the Sources folder of the ISO/USB this tells the Windows setup to ignore the MSDM key and allow oobe stage to work which is where the environment the MRP runs within. For Windows 8.x/10: Inside the MRP archive is a folder called Optional and you will find a suitable ei.cfg there to use. When installing the OS you will be asked what Edition to install, you can select the same Edition as the MSDM, (you can find that info out when running the Query Tool as it will tell you of the MSDM key's Edition), or you could select another Edition in which case MRP will inform you that the MSDM key is not for that Edition installed and ignore it, otherwise if it inserted it then the Edition would most likely change to the MSDM's Edition! You would then need to have either a HWID (Digital License), retail key or use another activation method for the Edition installed. If the Edition installed is the same as the MSDM key it will auto insert it ready for activation when online like it would via a OEM installation.
I think i found a way to compress the images more without losing the quality please check and let me know how do you like my idea ??? Both files are of same resolution 120 X 120 BMP size is 56.3 KB JPG size is 16.6 KB Thats a huge difference
