    Actually I am going to be uploading proof pics in a few minutes to prove the May project works with my untouched iso to ease other members minds. I like how ppl say it doesn't work but provide no feedback for me to reproduce it. In fact, some don't even answer the questions but insist the project doesn't work. lol Anyways, I will upload proof pics so ppl can see how I setup the untouched iso with all images posted that the project changes to oem images for proof. ;)

    I removed pics because they were small (resized I guess) and plus you can only do 5 at a time and I have 10 to share so will address the images on Monday when I get back. Thanks urie for pointing this out to me. :)

    You are correct about that one sir. :cool:

    They are just wanting to know the contents because NO changes have been made to the install script between those times. I did edit the reg files but that has to do with the wallpaper only, not login screen background...that is different. I also updated the ini file with new certs, keys and included more images. If they wish to use an outdated version that isn't supported anymore it is up to them but it does not contain updated keys, certs or images plus there will be no support for older versions from me. Ppl just want to know the contents is all. Simple as that. ;)

    Now I am going fishing. See everyone on Monday. :)

    Updated first post with info regarding older unsupported versions of this project. If not using May project version then NO support will be given. We don't go backwards but forward.

    Note: The new member kinda gave himself away and I will tell you how I know after looking back at his comments. At first it worked with untouched iso then he comes back and makes another comment saying it doesn't work now with the untouched iso. The script doesn't change on it own. lol

    Defo going forward i agree, but if login branding is not working for me on my 64 bit untouched iso on the May project, but desktop paper is i dont mind.

    But at the moment The feb project is working for me on login branding and desktop paper with my slipstreamed iso too . I also use ultraiso.

    So im happy. Il keep testing regardless. Im done with the issue. Closed.

    Thanks for your input

    Why did you say at first it worked with untouched iso then now all of a sudden it doesnt? The script doesn't change on it own. lol

    You said this in the beginning...
    Then you said...
    So what am I suppose to believe? lol You didn't answer any of my questions so we are done now. I know what you are trying to do. ;)

    As is said the first project i created worked for me and i was using the feb project. But i upgraded the later projects oem folder and i lost my login branding.

    I have just spent last few hours f*** around making images and i have started from scratch with the feb project after i tested the later projects.

    I cant get login branding to work on the March, April and May projects but works on the February Project for me.

    Im done with it. I ask for some small help on an issue and i get ball sacked. So yeah cheers...:p

    Oh and my slip streamed iso fully works with all branding. I respect your work as i know its hard to keep folk happy.

    You said you used the May project then went to the Feb project. Either way it is working for you using the old so we are done because I don't support those older versions. You didn't answer my questions at all so how I am suppose to help you? Seriously. lol The only thing changed was reg file for wallpaper which isn't your issue but login screen instead. There were no changes in the install script so it still falls on what you are doing to it. Sorry but no one can reproduce your issue and without questions being answered, no support can be given. Have a good day.

    Update: So you have been editing the older project according to your above post. No support for editing period. Again, have a nice day.

    Cheers Guardian, I dont have the time to go through all the files because im upto my neck in it. But as long i can create a slip streamed iso with full branding and a recovery partition and the latest updates built in to the recovery iso. Im happy

    Thanks for the project.

    Ps we have got on the wrong foot, but luckily i can hold it down. Enjoy your fishing, get your winkle pickers on.;)

    The reason you cant get your editing to work on the new May project is because it is protected. You are probably breaking it. Either way I don't support edited project versions. Bottom line.

    Seriously, I am done with this conversation since I now see you are editing it.

    This is beating a dead horse. lol

    @ urie,
    I removed proof pics and will address the image issue on Monday. Thanks again urie. :)

    I will be adding a log file to this project in the future so it will then tell me what exactly is going on. ;) This will be applied after win 10 goes RTM.

    That is a great idea adding log file, any thoughts on where it will be saved to ? perhaps Desktop.

    Log file implementation into the script is done but want to add date and time stamps, maybe possible total installation time of script as well. Will work more on it in my spare time. I am going to leave the query for preview in the script so when win 11 gets release as preview I wont have to add it to script again. The less I have to do in the future, the better. lol

    I will need some volunteers for beta testing once I have completed the log file implementation.

    Update: Log file implementation is done and I am testing in VMware as we speak. :) I cannot move file to userprofile desktop so I will put it at the root of the system drive instead and will update documentation as well. If you don't wish to keep the log file, end users can delete it themselves.
    %SystemDrive%\Project.log

    Testing progress (x86/x64, with/without modded VMware bios, with/without oem-dm key in msdm table):
    -Win Vista = done.
    -Win 7 = done.
    -Win 8.x =
    -Win 10 =

    I looked at results.txt are you saying machine did not activate because certificate is not there or it is not listed in query tool.

    It didn't add the SLP key or add desktop wallpaper etc. I have managed to activate using the COA key but I am used to the SLP/OEM process working.

    The results file I attached was created using the query tool after installing Windows - is there a log file created by the query tool as part of the installation process?

    Thanks for helping...

    You should have held back till The Guardian came back now you have used your OEM:NSLP key you could have used that on another machine :weep: or for the moment you could have used Daz loader to install OEM:SLP key and TOSCPL certificate.
