I just sent my EXE file from 3.0.0-Alpha2 to major (and lots of minor too) virus scanner company and malware scanner company to fix the problem. Since I don't modify theses EXE a lot, i hope this will fix the problem.
Thank you very much for looking into this, i had a workaround but this will save me time! I am trying it out now.
hi I have used your recovery tools for windows 8 got to work just fine was my understanding windows 7 was easier but I just tried it in a virtual machine said sysprep has fatal error then went on to capturing image did that starts up to setup is starting services it may be that I think I forgot to compile the installer and tried it first before I realized that then tried it again or is there some thing like reagent /c for windows 8 that I have to do with windows 7 that im not aware of thx give me a reply with any thing I might have messed up on thx btw no programs installed windows activation is the only thing done home pre sp1 64 bit
I have been installing this without any issue like you encountered above. The main thing that causes sysprep error are AV's. If that is your issue as well I would suggest installing it during setupcomplete.cmd or if legit win 8.x oem machine then use firstlogon.cmd to avoid those error's during sysprep. Some drivers can cause it as well. Use VMware for your testing to find out what is causing it. Audit mode is only really meant for drivers, when you get to install other things like AV's and other software you will get that error everytime in sysprep. Hope this helps and feel free to post back with what caused your issue when you find it.
naw no programs starit install windows windows 7 disc I haven't tried the other verision I tried 3.0.0 goes through and does the cmd part then said sysprep part then says it encountered a fatal error then restarts captures image and stays on the setup is starting services screen only thing I have done is activation mabey its the mounting of a flash drive or my external hard drive but I don't think so but ill be testing that theory and im gonna get the old version most people I read on here were using the old version for windows 7 btw hard drive wont even show up its usb 3.0 and I am use3ing VMware 3gonna be trying to install this on a buddys system im gonna assemble tomorrow trying to fix this tonight so I know it will work and I have windows 8 used the recovery tools with 8 on my own system with no problem first time trying with 7 did every thing the documentation told me to any thing possibly missing in the docs that I should know about?
All documentation is included. Did any of your drivers you installed in audit mode have software installed as well. I know some drivers have software with it in order to run correctly. I don't know if this is your case or not but thought I would mention it. If in windows 7 and you connect to the net while in audit mode that too can cause that issue. You never said if you connected to the net or not so thought I would mention that as well. I am shooting in the dark here. lol
Hello, @AnarethoS : [Request] : Can you add support for WIMBoot option for Windows 8.1 Spring Update ? Thanks in advance !
I am running the win 8.1 spring update with this project without any issues. What issues are you having?
ok, I got you. The sad thing is it will no longer support legacy devices. M$ forcing ppl to upgrade their systems which I don't like but it is normal for them. Thx for the info though, it was interesting. To me, this would be better for tablets, not computers....just my opinion.
I'm having this issue where sysprep seems to be hanging at "Processing generalize phase Sysprep plugins." What should I do?
Well i was adding the files to MS Security essentials ok'd files list so it wouldnt tag them. I do have one question. I run the installer and have the system ready to go but if they sit around for 30 days the trail clock runs down even though it has not been logged into so when the end user starts the setup process entering their name, product key etc. it comes up with the you may be a victim of counterfit software activate now. Do you know a way around this?
Right click CMD then click Run as administrator At the command prompt type: slmgr.vbs -rearm You can do this 3 times after which you will have activate the license. Use this only when you are in situation where you are unable to activate immediately. Hope this helps.
I don't have any computer with SSD and since this is a requirement, I am correntl unable to create this new feature. The table I have (Asus T100) is UEFI+SSD, but in 32bits mode only, which is unsuported by this method, so no luck there also. If I find a way to implement it using VmWare I may add the option though.
The message from NICK@NUMBER11 was from 2010... nearly 20 versions (more I think) where made since then
It is a simple example on how a company could sing my EXE which will show the warning in "blue" (known source) rahtne than "yellow" (unknown source). This script should be used ON the computer that will be captured. It does the following : - Use the PFX (cert + key) to sing the EXE file - Import the root certificate (currently Anarethos Recovery Tools) into the certificate store to recognize the sign certificate If you want to do the same, you will have to : - either get a true signing certificate from a trusted source (Entrust, etc.) and use them to sign my EXE OR - Create your own root certificate using OpenSSL - Create you own sign certificate using OpenSSL - Import you Root certificate on the target computer - Sign the EXE file with you sign certificate So, now, it is mostly a proof of concept
Ok, thanks for reply, you can also emulate a SSD with VMWare or VirtualBox (i am sure for VirtualBox)
