    that is the rule, but theres always exceptions....a lot has to do with pronuciation..words like under or up use an, but universal and user use "a" try saying "an user" just sounds weird.

    Anyone got this working with windows 8

    on first boot, i ignore the sysprep request and run install.cmd ( correct ? ) , all completes but then sysprep fails. machine reboots completes the next part but on reboot fails with message unable to complete installation on this machine.

    using virgin install, with no extras on a hp laptop.

    thanks in advance

    p.s if at first step i press ok, completes and reboots to oobe which works fine.

    Always had problem with HP laptop, particulary with AMD/Radeon computer.

    When you press "Ok" on the Sysprep button, it will generalize the computer, without keeping the drivers.

    When my script do the sysprep, it tried to keep installed drivers (Video, sound, etc.) It may fail.

    You can try to edit the Sysprep.xml file to remove the option to keep the drivers, but all drivers which are not part of Windows will require reinstallation.

    A solution here is to use a SetupComplete.cmd script to do the installation after OOBE.

    you will have to test test and test. Sorry, I can't help more here.

    You will have to copy the "Loader" on a folder on the computer and use a SetupComplete.cmd file to run it.

    Example from loader's readme:

    Code:
    SetupComplete.cmd Example:
    
    
    @ECHO OFF
    %~dp0"Windows Loader.exe" /silent /preactivate
    cd %~dp0
    attrib -R -A -S -H *.*
    SHUTDOWN /R /T 5
    RMDIR /S /Q "%WINDIR%\Setup\Scripts"
    exit
    
    :)

    The splash screen that u are seeing is from the loader itself as a warning if anyone buys a dvd that uses loader to activate but calls it genuine....it is not. ;)

    Just tested 1.3.11 myself and it worked perfect. Thanks for your hard work!

    Daz has integrated that splash screen in the loader so that one can't use it to pre-activate & sell Windows & claim it as 'genuine'. It can't be turned off.

    **Oops.. I'm late. ;)
