So if i choose not to install the new wat update since it's optional, will i still be able to get all other updates?
thanks for reply sielhaut =) good to know. i won't bother re-installing it again, had to do another clean install :S i'll just hope and wait and see what daz or hazar come up with next
It's not going to be permanently optional. It would certainly be embedded in SP1. Passing the WAT test would indeed be a criteria to installing SP1
I'm not sure if it'll be a part of sp1. It's interesting if WAT will become essential, what means it must be installed to get further updates. Anyway there will be a way to extract it off the sp1 (if it's integrated at all)..and if not you may kill its scheduled tasks....I would do it for privacy reason....
Maybe install sp1 and don't clean (like wit vista's vsp1cln.exe or compcln.exe for sp2), but first do watupdate.msu /uninstall. Although it's a bit easy if this works
Didn't work for me So when I tried WAT on modded gigabyte ex58-extreme rev.1, bios version F10 with SLIC 2.1 dell certificate, every thing went bad. It didn't pass, I have Windows is not genuine what shall i do now???
post more details, but NO mgdiag report -what serial? -clean iso of w7 installed? trusted source??? Mods are working...there is something screwed!
ok thanks, and not to make me really non genuine. I've a vm with all updates installed and now I'm going to use a loader with lenovo key, then install official wat, shutdown and make snapshot. Than boot, validate online in ie8 (and hope wat makes me permanent non-genuine), go to about:blank and remove all coockies etc so nothing is left, then shutdown again. Mount vhd and copy all files to a folder. Then revert to snapshot, mount vhd and copy all files to a folder. Then I use Windiff to compare the 2 folders, it searches for files that are changed and files that exist in 1 and don't exist in the other folder. Hopefully I can find what wat changes to make you permanent non-genuine.
Oh I see.... good luck, it's probably a registry value (ntuser.dat or a hidden file or directory syntax like 8FD8ED43-2AAB-4D44-BAFF-A091DA2D613D).....
i have installed fresh windows 7 86, rtm version, using modified bios with HP slic 2.1 & HP key, working well after validation & it s genuine with office 2007.
