7za is included within the decompile.exe. Its been tested thoroughly. If you setup the project just like the instructions on first post, it will always work. Try adjusting it,it will fail. Its made this way on purpose. I use the same recovery software as you all the time with this project so it must be something on your end. Good you know how to use notepad to view file. lol
It is enough but there's a well mature thanks system which has the same purpose while increasing reputation.
Try not to nit pick guys. @The Guardian: I'm curious why not Winrar with their sfx? I am still fixing bugs in the scripting on my end in powershell.
I can get around password very easily without brute force. Again, the reason for securing its contents is because of share oem slp keys and certs which could easily bring up takedown notices here at mdl. I know no one is interested in the legalities of posting this type of project and the possible impact on the mdl site. Most are just out for themselves and can care less. In fact our old friend searchengine did one recently similar to my project....wonder where he got that idea from for securing it? lol Sad part is he used Alphawaves exe tool made for this project but removed Alphawaves info from the exe....disappointing.
Thank you for replay. Well thats what i get from your decompile.exe: Directory of Project_April_04_2015_Final\$oem$\$$\Setup\scripts\decompile 07.04.2015 20:10 <DIR> . 07.04.2015 20:10 <DIR> .. content was deleted couse safty respect to the author work no 7za now i don't know wth is wrong yeah and its not notepad lol. ollydbg and ida help a lot i tried again and same even on clean win 7 installation(no recovery project, just oem project) Something went wrong i guess. Mybee is problem in audit mode, i use it for software installation (couse recovery project) i think i know.... in unattend.xml i have copy profile ... khmmm that could be the problem. Thank you!
You decompiled the exe so no support from me. Congrats...you broke your installation by messing with it. lol Just tested and all extracted including the 7za.exe which unzips everything then is deleted. Works perfect. Your curiosity broke it. Note to all: If you decompile the decompile.exe I will not respond nor support it. Even if you successfully extract all the contents, you will still end up breaking the install because of how I created it. Its made this way on purpose.
No no i didnt decompiled for using it .... it was just.... i need to see if i get 7za.... thats all .. im not using decompiled version, no way and its only for me to be sure whats going on ... nothing more... so i messed up something with my unattend.xml file i guess and dont worry, files are already deleted.. just test.... your files and your work are safe well back to testing...
Are you trying to run the project from audit mode? If so then that might be why....oobe isn't ran until after the capturing of the image for your recovery partition. I recommend using VMware for testing until you get your installation figured out. This is what I do...saves time in the end. It doesn't matter if anyone extracts the contents because as you see, not all files are there or they were but deleted too fast. There are checks and balances created into the decompile.exe which breaks the install if tampered with not having to do with any cmd file.
as i wrote yeah i was using audit mode (oobe) and thats my problem copying profile from audit mode to user thank you for help and your time... im going to run instalation without audit mode(oobe) and will see if will work (vbox) great work again question: is vmware better than virtual box or it doesnt matter? thank you
Ok I was just curious I usually use winrar because of the simplicity in their sfx compression. I can see now as of now I have not run into such a problem with people copying my projects as I make it a bit difficult to do so as I do the framework for projects. I also purposefully limit projects that reach MDL in terms of scripts n such. That being said I find it a bit sad what he did with the exe that Alphawaves made. I agree with the questionable legalities which is why I do things a certain way on MDL so such questions do not come up in anyway . On another note I sent out the base test image that should enable you to have some fun with powershell. It should now have the same support as your Multi OEM Project. It may need some bug fixing and restructuring as I change the structure but its ready to be experimented with . You will find variables are done much better in Powershell than cmd
Either is ok...both serve the same purpose plus both have bios mods also listed here at this site for vista/win7. When trying to run it in audit mode I would expect it to fail because it is a temp acct plus some features aren't available in audit mode. I don't ever run it in audit mode. I install what I need then capture the image and then let the oobe.cmd file do its thing from there. There is no need for the recovery image to have the branding and activation since oobe.cmd is ran everytime you restore your computer. There is no real need to have it in audit mode plus it isn't possible.
yap thats my problem and i need to copy profile from audit mode to user becouse of desktop icons and i do not need activation (stickers) thats why it fails .... now its working btw i also edited post with content of decompile.exe... respect to the author work... i wasnt meant to be decompiled, just for debuging... anyway problem solved And respect authors hard work is no1 priority... So dont ask how to decompile i will not replay thank you for your time and work !! Respect!
Ok basically in general what Guardian is saying is that you modified the compressed .7z which is not a bad thing. It doesn't really insult the work done because your just looking to see how the OEM branding is done as a whole. Decompling means that your taking compiled code apart. I don't really consider scripting to be compiled code as it is simply open source by nature. Please do not take this out of context as it is a very quick summary. I have nothing but respect for the guardians work I just wanted to fix the definition lol
I don't think we need a human dictionary. lol Just joking. We all knew what he meant I think. By the way, so when are you converting to cmd line scripting? lmao! I have to mess with you.
I didnt change or use any kind of code(scripts) ... it just didnt work and i wanna know why, thats why i decompiled(debugging).. It was an audit fail, that was the point... find out why it wasnt working, the old sript from november working fine... Anyway problem solved and i never used decompiled or any part of source code Now its all good and working perfect .. files will never be released by my side, files alleady deleted and never used or will be.. all gone history.... forget it! Im using original files provided by guardian in a 1st post ... end of story! Thank you! P.s.: sorry for my bad english lool

Hashtag CMD sux. Gotta have some fun haha. I probably could do the entire conversion but hey I'm busy working on cmd XD
Psh we can make it better. Code: Powershell.exe Start-process cmd "\c Powershell" Some people just wanna watch the world burn. As a side note I may need help to establish a standard on how the OEM pack should be structured folder wise.
Your method will sure set a standard for future use but until vista is discontinued, cmd scripting will be needed. Good your ahead of the ballgame though. We are getting off the subject of this thread so I will get back on track. lol
No problem man. I'm gonna start looking at how your project works to see how good the concepts are To get back on subject I'll actually start testing it out on the oem side as well. After I test a fun idea I had on the PS side.
