    BC1 finally completed installation and all worked as expected for what i was testing :D

    @Enthousiast is testing Insider Preview so fingers crossed that all works ok too.

    Another question ( or two ), maybe is a little off topic but you should forgive me :)
    1. Is it possible to combine this OEM Activation and windowsloader by daz?( if oem is not sucessful then script automatically install loader?)
    or how to setup that windows loader file is on the desktop right after install? same question where to place files which i want to appear on desktop after installation?
    2. i saw some works of murphy78, and in his all in one win 7 iso file you can choose for example: home premium, home premium OEM and home premium activated by daz.
    is it possible to make something similar?

    Hi, that would be a typo? As Windows Vista is 6.0 kernel, not 6.1?

    1. Using Daz's Loader can be added via 'setupcomplete.cmd' which can run the loader's exe file - details for that can be found in the 'Read Me' text file within the loader's archive. But to be compatible with the MRP some adjustments need to be made to prevent the 'as-is' example script from causing the MRP to malfunction due to it deleting the project's files as well!

    Just remove any lines that have Shutdown, RD Scripts or RMDIR Scripts references from the SetupComplete.cmd as MRP auto deletes that folder's contents on completion and you do a reboot.

    As for having the Loader exe file on the desktop, that can be done but not really needed if you use the setupcomplete method.

    2. If you have not edited the install.wim to delete any indexes (Editions) and in the case of Vista/7 no ei.cfg is present within the Sources folder, you should be presented with a list of Editions to install.

    Note: The loader will only work on what it is designed for, see the readme or the Loader's forum thread(s) for more details.

    [CHKLS] Online connection maybe required to complete activation. :g:

    Not on line during install?
    As nothing has changed in the MRP for the activation check etc... for w8.x/10 to activate the system needs to be online, your os's should of activated soon as you are connected after the install but it not show within MRP as it was not online at the time of the check.

    The advert block/removal of 'safe' apps are now unaffected by being online during installation.

    MRP at stage 108 BC2. :)

    Have fixed:
    The spelling mistake for the Vista kernel SLIC cannot activate 7 line. Thanks @Carlos Detweiller for letting me know.
    The 'Prevent Store Apps Auto-Updating' now shows if auto set by the 'Block OS Adverts' or 'Remove Safe Apps' options. For some odd reason it not always show before. :g:

    I have not used Autounnatend.xml for many years so i not be able to help.

    Although i think i deleted the section block <ProductKey>......... </ProductKey> and used PID.txt with the key in Sources folder that got around that when i had a problem, ( it was probably Vista at the time - so most things went weird anyway. ) :D

    Disabling the firewall may be a problem more so on later w10 builds as it seems to be more integrated, plus if you are going to use a 3rd party firewall that may not work as most use parts of the Windows firewall to set things. :g:

    WFC (Binisoft now Malwarebytes owned) and Sphinx Firewall Control i know uses the windows firewall for its blocking/unblocking etc.
