@AnarethoS Thanks for your helpful info. I still confused a little bit. 1. What is FirstRun.cmd that you mean ? 2. My PC runs x64 OS then what part should I remove ? Thanks again
@SanJose In fact, I am not sure if what I said will fix your problems. Is your problem the fact that SetupComplete.Cmd is not running? If yes, rename the script to FirstLogon.cmd and use my XML file as-is. If SetupComplete.cmd is running, forget what I said!
@AnarethoS Thank for your concern, I'll test with your xml file. I'll back to tell you it works or not.
so were u successful in doing what u went out to do? i.e making a win8iso auto activated on new install, please guide me as well. regards!

tried it and was asked to put key in I used my original key to install and it worked but only activated till 21.03.2013 I know now why 21.03.2013 When i installed win 8 originally i used KMS which gave me 6 months. so installation may have that info extracted from data.dat and let it caried on till end of 6 months ie 21.03.13 The question next is what if we modify the wim again and add Media center and use my legit key. any idea??????????
You will still need store folder FROM Windows 8 Media Center THAT HAS BEEN Activated & the Serial for Media Center Placed in the PID.txt [PID] Value=PUT YOUR Windows 8 Media Center SERIAL HERE The Default gvlkProfessionalWMC Serial will not Activate with out the store folder FROM Windows 8 Media Center THAT HAS BEEN Activated.
hi I did put key from WMC but u was asked to manually enter key for win8pro. when entering manually the WMC key o get told it is a added feature key and reject it so it wants an activated key
Did you up date win8pro iso/disc to win8WMC before using the WMC key (WMC upgrade keys will not work).
