Patching that two Bytes might work, but is the result still resistant against "sfc /scannow" and "dism /online /cleanup-wim /restorehealth"?
What do updates have to do with diagnostic commands? You don't need updates to end up needing to run sfc /scannow somewhere down the line.
That just requires a little more work. Signature fake and exchange of the file in the esd/wim But as I said this is here not allowed in the mdl forums.
That may have been like that in the old days, blackcomb developer could just do it like that. Oh yes, there is still a solution that complies with the mdl rules. *find a m$ developer who shares a blackcomb developer key with you* Use "this" <product key> with Windows 7 Beta slui 4 slmgr -dti Call Microsoft Product Activation Hotline with Phone No. <#31#> <local m$ phone number> Key "1" Enter <"Installation ID"> using the phone keys You will receive a <"Activation ID"> slmgr -atp <Activation ID> <activated>
