    Seems there are some hell bent on wanting to change it to a programming language, not only powershell. I totally agree about users can edit how they wish but then why pm me about changing the code totally? Just do it for yourself. I do agree but seems some wish it to be one type of coding but then others want it in another type of coding. I don't have the time nor do I wish to change anything. Best solution, let others fight over it and who ever comes out on top will be the winning solution. I get to sit back and watch now. lol

    I'd think since you wanted it open source, others could add and expand to it. Not "take it over". Unless you are really tired/done with the project, smorg works well with others and your input and current and future contribution to the oem project could continue to grow even more. I'd like to see it expand and continue moving forward.

    Plus I find it quite disrespecting to be so demanding about it and wanting to be in total control. Plus if done in another programming language all together they would have to take it over, I don't have a choice in the matter then.

    keep your work up and who want to change it can make i new threat and start sharing he's version but at the end all know who did the hard work, when i added AutoKMS and Loader to it i shared all names that helped here and also kept the original one for who want and others who want to change it need to do the same

    But please keep up your work you saved me and also alot others even they don't talk here, So thank you and please don't stop

    I had to turn off pm's because of all of this. Those who wish to edit it...go for it but to demand the change....that's not going to happen. I have completed it now and everyone comes out of the woodwork wanting it changed to this or that. I don't have the time nor do I wish to support that. This project was never meant to be a app, that is why I worked with Alphawaves to make a desktop alt. I really don't know what else to do but let others fight over it and the victor wins. lol

    I just want to say Thank You again for your work creating this project. I understand the amount of work and time that goes into developing something, and it is appreciated. Especially when it is done in your own free time and given away for free.

    It is never wise to demand change as it usually ends with people blowing up. The guardian my list of stuff to do is too long to take something like this over. I have different priorities to pursue as I was just thinking this would be a great project to look into expanding. The forum still has the effects of what happened when I blew up last time thread wise in all honesty which I have some misgivings over still.

    The project has been open source from its birth, you can't get more open source than an 'OOBE.cmd' and sets of brand folders with an '.ini' file the 'OOBE.cmd' can reference. The 'OEM Query Tool' was originally Autoit exe, that extracted it's main source files to %Temp% dir.

    The project was designed to make use of Windows native oobe process, that individual manufacturers use, only expanded for multiple manufacturers.

    Since three members now do not want to take it over, I put back my links in first post. Actually no it wasn't open source since beginning....obviously you never did mess with the query tool that was used also in the main project when searchengine created it. Took me months to decipher it without knowing the source and finding alt. so you are incorrect about that. Some of the code was not in the cmd file in the query tool but autoit only so it was challenging. I couldn't get the source till months later when someone shared it with me but was of no use then. lol

    @Baltagy
    I haven't forgot you bro...I am working on your images now. ;)

    This is now water under the bridge so lets move on. The people have spoken. lol

    I will be frank then...

    Once you have a project you either continue support for it and have goal posts of where you want to take it or it will fall into decay. I am not going to take over a project which has no helm. I will help in improving on the project but in no way am I going to 100% take over a project this meshed out. I can recommend some reverse engineering tools you can use to get the source though :)

    Dude, I just got finished with all the bugs and I am now working on adding more oem's. What freakin more do you want? Really? Nevermind for it doesn't matter....the project will not decay for it is the community that is expanding it even more. Do what you wish.....those here in this thread will keep on keeping on as usual. ;) End of discussion.

    I need to get back to adding images so Baltagy don't kick my butt. lol bbl

    @ Baltagy,
    I finished those images...what a pain that was. lol Uploading now (got 47 mins left to upload). Will update first post when completed. :)

    First post updated. :)

    For motherboard theming we need to find someone good in image editing. It's not my forte. At least I know my limitations. lol I did find a few of the images needed for BioStar and others I had to edit myself. The main one that I do not know how to create is the mce_logo....its like it is transparent. I don't know how to do those. I found the one for BioStar but in the future that could be a problem. Anyone with knowledge in this area please feel free to share. :)

    Ahem :eek:

    you apparently included x64 version of elevate.exe in Query Tool, which doesn't function on 32-bit systems

    I didn't know it was the x64 version for skolar put that together and got working. I had the x86 originally but I guess it got replace by accident. Thanks for sharing...I didn't know. :( Yep, you are correct....the x86 is 5kb and the x64 is 6kb. Correcting it now then will upload again. Thanks for pointing that out.

    Note: There is a problem...the x86 cant read the registry for installed key correctly in x64 systems....maybe x86 as well....not sure yet but got vbs error. Might need to use both and have cmd file check for which to use. Give me a min and I will include both.
