@Galane Sadly that is a bit off topic for this project. I know what you mean and i am sure why the WinPE method does not work as intended is because certain system files are not present, such as the licensing part, because WinPE does not require the PC to have a SLIC, (Vista/7/Server), or a MSDM, (8.x/10), for it to function as it is only a 'subset' of the actual OS ie the core part to give the user a interface to 'repair' or use in a very simple manner. Even .net is not present in a standard WinPE which a lot of programs require. The missing licensing files is why the gatherstate.exe fails no matter if x86/x64 because WinPE does not require any activation as such so the gatherstate.exe will just silently fail. Not sure if anyone can give pointers on how to make such as OS like 'WinToGo' image/iso that would work, but i can see major problems in the activation stage due to using it on different hardware etc as it would confuse the licensing data/tokens.
Will a multi-OEM Win 10 install and activate on a PC with SLIC for Win 7 or Win 8? I have a multi-OEM Win 7 DVD-R that I got a lot of use out of doing reinstalls on OEM systems that shipped with 7.
Answer: For win7 No -- But if the PC had win 8.x with a valid MSDM then yes as it will pick up the internal key from the MSDM table. Otherwise unless there is an established HWID, or you have a genuine retail 7 key, or, a COA key from any license label on the pc you are installing W10 onto that had w7 on, (usually that is a Home Premium etc type - the key is Edition specific so if it a Pro key then it will allow activation of w10 Pro, any Home key will allow W10 Home/Core.). There are other ways but that is not the aim of this project as it only deals with legal methods of activation and so i cannot discuss that matter further as it is against forum rules.
Working on a new option that may be of use to many Having a few teething problems at moment, but on track to hammering the gremlins into dust that are giving me some grief with the coding for it.
this message come i have fujitsu lifebook a555 my windows 10 de activate after update how to activate again can any one help ================================================[ OS Licensing Information ]================================================ Licensing Channel {RCode} : VL_KMSClient - {0xC004F056} License Status Reason : The Volume Product detected could not be activated using the Key Management Service {KMS}. : This maybe because it is a default Volume or other invalid key which cannot be used for activation. Windows VL Key Management : Not in use.
@zzzzzing.lala Sounds like one of three things happened: 1 ) Defender or other Antivirus software removed the KMS files. 2 ) The OS update process may of also removed the KMS files used as that can sometimes reset the majority of things to defaults plus removing of non standard OS files. Something like what 'SFC /ScanNow ' does when it encounters something changed from what it likes. 3 ) Auto-renewal was not used and the 'license' expired after the default 180 days and then de-activated Windows. As KMS is not part of this project i am unable to give more help on this subject.
Defender claims OEM-Sync.exe is a trojan and removes it. (It does the same for things like key finders and other completely harmless utility software Microsoft doesn't like.) So when you put the OEM stuff onto a USB or prepare for burning a disc, you first need to allow Defender to find and remove the file then tell it to restore it and allow on device.
OEM-Sync.exe was in the original project, (circa 2013-2015), for checking the screen resolution for the wallpaper etc, it was written in AutoIT programming language i believe. I agree that Defender and most AV's can/will grab any file that is not 'normal' M$ coded and treat them as 'threats', i have even seen the odd m$ coded file being grabbed by Defender too!! Some parts of MRP and the QT use AutoIT created tools that i made to help with the smooth running of the installation or, in the case of the QT, data gathering for user presentation in the log(s). Nothing is transmitted out of the PC unless the user posts the logs manually. Obviously Defender not like those tools and will actively quarantine/remove them. Even if i wrote them in the standard 'C#/++' language Defender will nab them too, so no easy way to avoid having something classed as a 'threat' arise. One reason why i have a disclaimer that if the project was obtained from other links not shown in post #2 or via another website and/or if the hashes not match the ones shown in post #2, then it is NOT safe to use those project files as they may have of been tampered with and i will NOT entertain any conversations about them as i have no idea what has been added. Note: The hashes shown in post #2 are for the single compressed 7z file(s) and not for any individual file within the archive.
MRP v123.0 is now at Beta 9. Had to take a few days break due to some personal reasons, it may be on/off working on the project for the next few days but i will make time as and when.
Hi, Testing last 122 MRP version in a virtual machine I encountered some bugs that weren't there in the tested previous version (I don't remember which one, almost 6 monthes ago) : all options (ie show file extension, show hidden files and folders, unpin mail icon from taskbar, small icons in config panel...) except shortcut arrow & suffix, show Computer and personal folder on desktop, didn't install. I just putted as usual the $OEM$ folder in an untouched ISO of Windows 1909, my setupcomplete.cmd file ran complete (I checked that I didn't delete the script once completed). Since it's a Virtual machine I only created an autounattended xml file with a generic pro key, and putted the corresponding ei.cfg file as usual. Here is a screenshot with the problem. Any idea ?
