Ok have found a work around, a bit long winded way but on my VM test it worked and not crashed the script! Just got to edit the main QT script and compile....
I guess you saw the "if the QT seems stuck here, press a key." message? it should appear only on win 7.
That's right. In my home pc I don't have to press a key. Tomorrow I will see what will happen on my pc at work.
Ok no worries. I wont make it QT v26.0 just yet until i know it has been fixed. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Never realized that a dummy MSDM table could cause the glitch. MRP will have to be edited, but that a simple thing on that , just ignore looking for the MSDM table on any OS below Windows 8.0 like it used to. The routine in MRP was only to look for the name for branding if no DMI or SLIC was present. But as it may cause the project to crash it is best to bypass that section for now.
Have sent a PM/convo to Alphawaves to see if he can adjust the GenericX.exe code to give an invalid return or un-listed so it not cause this glitch to happen within MRP at oobe stage as you not see the error or know you have to press a key as all text output is not shown during that time.
Version 25.1 test3 working just fine. Stuck at "if the QT seems stuck here, press a key" and after that show me resaults:
@mad_max thanks for letting me know Have made more progress in that have a better work-a-round (bit of a cheat really ) to prevent any errors it also no longer pauses for a key press. Just need to do a test with MRP using the dummy table in a VM to see if it will work with that. As Alphawaves is busy with life outside of coding/MDL this will give him time have a look when he can. Meanwhile i can use my 'cheat' to at least prevent the QT from crashing. It is rare the invalid MSDM table will be present (unless a OEM such as Gigabyte ,or a self modded, BIOS has one), but it is nice to cover as many factors that could cause problems as possible.
Well have thrash tested my 'fix' for the invalid MSDM table detection, happy to announce it works!! It is still experimental for now so may glitch - however for non present table the check is ignored so a likely crash should not happen! Also while doing the tests there is a speed up tweak done too. If a MSDM table is detected, the check will show valid or invalid. There may be a slight pause while the checking of the table is done so no need to press any key now.. it will continue automatically. Just compiling the QT26.0 exe, update the changelog.txt, upload and will update first post with the new password etc. Be a few minutes...
QT26.0EBL (E = Experimental) First post updated with the Query Tool new password. See changelog.txt for details if you wish.
I see another Notepad++ user Did the Valid MSDM table message appear after the .Net checks, it not matter if it not as the report shows the MSDM brand/edition info so it worked. I was mainly testing for Invalid table and only quickly looked when a valid one was present.
Yes, the Valid MSDM table message appeared after the .Net checks... It seems Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaster than previous versions... OBTW, I've been using Notepad++ for many years and it is my Text Editor of choice... It is so capable and easy to use...
It's just a 'bit' faster It could be even more if all the info screens was disabled. But left them active so people can see if there is a glitch or one of the error checks kick in. I have used Notepad++ with the project since last December as it helps detects some of my missing brackets lol, not always find them as i must confuse it at times lol.
Just in the editor sorting MRP for the invalid table stuff, its a lot harder in that because so much is interconnected, one mistake and the domino effect starts. Then once i think it sorted the multitude of testing begins... One good thing is that if Alphawaves can edit the Generic exe's with a patch then very little is needed to revert back to the original method used. win - win
I vote for KEEPING all the info screens enabled... I always monitor them as they progress to completion... On a fast PC / Laptop they ZING by quickly but I can deal with that... LOL
Edits done to MRP -- The testing begins! Two on the go: 1 - VMware VM - Windows 7 (Default DMI) - No SLIC, Invalid MSDM table. 2- - RealPC - Windows 10 (Asus DMI) - Asus SLIC, No MSDM Table. The 3rd test (as ran out of monitors!), will be a Lenovo Tower with no SLIC, Genuine W10 Home MSDM. You can't really use a KVM switch when installing the Windows OS as it tends to forget the keyboard/Mouse when you switch between units. grr.
Test 2 - Real PC All ok no failures - so nice to have a SSD in that lol. Test 1 VM All ok no failures, ignored invalid MSDM table. Test 3 Lenovo - All ok no failures. Test 4 Vmware VM Windows 10 - No DMI, No SLIC, Invalid MSDM table. All ok no failures, detected invalid MSDM.
Here are the result logs. Boring i know, but a LOT of work gone into fixing the glitch, i know it probably be rare if it happens but now it has a 'fix' in place.

A few things to tidy up and change version from 65.4 RC to 66.0 Baseline. I am pretty confident the 'patch' is working perfectly, however it is an experimental one until a proper solution is made. It not affect anything else as the results show. Will post when have finalized the code and done the changelog etc, then upload the new baseline. Sorry it is such a short time between releases, but it needed to be patched. Many thanks to mad_max for pointing this out. This is the reason I ask for feedback, if there is a problem let me know i will do my best to sort it out as soon as is possible.
