Is it possible to slipstream RemoveWAT in windows7 iso to auto install? is there a guide somwhere how you do it?
How is this safer than bootloader-solutions like nononsense's WindSLIC or WoW7? Won't this actually modify files in Windows (that could then easily be replaced or reversed by MS updates), while the bootloaders merely patch a SLIC into memory, tricking Windows into believing it comes from the BIOS, without actually altering any Windows components aside from the bootloader which doesn't even run once Windows is booted?
Safe might apply that this doesn't need to reboot to work hence no boot loop, dual boot or start up problems. Otherwise I'm uncertain what safer implies? And I believe this is a patch or part patch
it won't brick your bootsector, not even a slight chance. Also is completely intolerant of bootup configs as its all done in windows. Its safer as its entirely windows based.
Ok, so it has no probability of making the machine unbootable (not that that is generally much of a worry with a newly installed OS), but in theory it should be far easier for MS to break via updates, or am I wrong?
@ zx81 Look at post #2 in my thread, you have a bit of a cleanup job to do before the loader will work if RemoveWAT was installed previously.
I'm having some problems with the watermark in the lower right corner. Everything seems to be working fine, but the watermark is still there. I don't believe it's actually working because of this, I don't know if I can download updates though. I just switched from 2.2.4 to 2.2.5.
type services.msc in start search box then navigate to software protection services and set as automatic (delayed)
I am not sure if you have been flaged by microsoft as non-geniune. I have the same issue previously. Is your copy of windows 7 preactivated?? If it is by any chance it was preactivated by BIE?? I cant remember what was the identical hidden file created by BIE in the root. But normally BIE will leave an uninstall and install exe in somewhere here windows>system32 >setup >script.
I can't as far as I know. Microsoft website says I can't be validated No idea, sorry. I started with the release candidate then activated it months ago and updated to to the final build, so I would guess not. There are no install/uninstall files in my system32 folder. If it matters, I used 2.2.4 to restore WAT, restarted, and then launched 2.2.5. I've also tried using Daz's Wat fix before using removeWAT 2.2.5, but the results were no different from before. The update I have pending is also for Windows Defender.
No idea about update version of windows 7. Perhaps you can try to check the host file also for the validation issue. Go windows>system32>drivers>etc Open host file with notepad and check if this line is there. "127.0.0.1 mpa.one.microsoft.com" If there is, back up the host file, then erase "127.0.0.1 mpa.one.microsoft.com" and save the changes. revalidate again and see.
