    sorry for my bad english

    McAfee does not like the decompile.exe file

    If you want to reduce the size of the file should be deleted files thumbs in each folder

    thanks for your job

    I am working on adding Alphawaves new tool to extract the xrm-ms file (cert) for the query tool. So when end user saves Results.txt it will now include the cert, if found. When completed I will, in bold big letters state that it is Highly recommended to run query tool first because if you try to do a install with the project and it doesn't oem activate, we now don't have access to the cert anymore because of new install. Always run the query tool first before starting a install to ensure your machine can oem activate. Will save end users time and headaches in the end. ;)

    Since the OEM’s folder is currently Compressed / Encrypted, how are users able to REMOVE unwanted OEM’s to further reduce project size and / or replace any of the NEWer Wallpaper images with the Previous OLDer ones e.g. ALIENWARE? :confused::confused::confused:

    I have already addressed those questions. If branding is all your interested in try looking into Alphawaves System Brand Changer.

    I have one little bug to work out in the new query tool then I will upload it. Also got another cert that wasn't included in the project's ini file that I will include. Still looking for M$ surface oem info but haven't had any luck with one image. I cant find the MCE_LOGO.png image....I got everything else.

    System Brand Changer is very useful on a LIVE System only! My question was for ISO Installations ONLY...

    if you delete all files thumbs (242), you can reduce the size of 7 mb.

    If you feel compelled to try to hide the source files, could you not just pack the 'Install.cmd' and 'oemscan.ini' files in ExeScripts 'decompile.exe' and leave the 'OEM's.7z' unpassworded , end users could then add additional image sizes if required for their pc, and or replace brand images to their preference.
