    First off I want to thank those that have pm'd me with suggestions. I will be releasing another version soon with more logging info and also corrects logging error's if OEM's folder isn't present. Improved speed of script as well. Testing in VMware but I will keep every posted on progress.

    Win10 install time for oobe in last release was around 3 mins in VMware with default settings, now it is 1 min 30 secs. I implemented the same method on other OS's to reduce their install times as well. Think all possibilities are covered now. I will finish testing then upload later today. I hope this meets everyone's expectations. lol

    Note: The win10 logon background changer tool is for win10 build 10.0.240 or newer only....older win10 TP versions are not supported. If you wish to have this tool work properly, update your win10 iso. lol

    I wnat to thank everyone for this post.
    I followed the instructions on the first post.

    Downloaded the windows 7 iso x64, removed ei.cfg using the ei.cfg Removal Utility. then i added $OEM$ folder to the sourceds folder. in the $OEM$ folder ($oem$\$$\Setup\scripts) there are 3 files and i left it as is only coppied the folder $oem$ to the sources then saved iso.


    When i installed on vmware automatically installed win 7 basic, it didnt ask me what version to install.

    I am thinking i missed something.
    Thank you

    Delete these files too:
    install_Windows 7 HOMEBASIC.clg
    install_Windows 7 HOMEPREMIUM.clg
    install_Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL.clg
    install_Windows 7 ULTIMATE.clg

    More then likely I bet the ei.cfg is still on the iso...the utility didn't have permission possibly. I have never needed to remove the additional .clg files but doesn't hurt. Have you looked in the iso to see if the ei.cfg file is there still just out of curiosity? Recommend using UltraISO or similar to view and edit ISO files.

    Thank you for the reply guys , i am using UltraISO by the way. Also i dont see the .clg file in the sources folder.

    I do see these
    install_Windows 7 HOMEBASIC.clg
    install_Windows 7 HOMEPREMIUM.clg
    install_Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL.clg
    install_Windows 7 ULTIMATE.clg
    If i delete these ones i guess i wil be able to choose the edition correct?

    Just to be more clear i am trying the installation in the VMWare enviroment.
    Thank you

    That is only two queries, use the oem query tool from project and it will give you more detailed info about your bios. If you are wanting to add info to your bios then you should open you own thread. It is filled in by the oem manufacturer with their bios update in the beginning.

    Instead of deleting ei.cfg, edit out the edition:
    Code:
    [EditionID]
    
    [Channel]
    OEM
    [VL]

    He can still do branding with the project, just not activation.
