Win 8.x • Win 7 • Vista - 'Multi-OEM' ISO Project

To those who still talk with "searchengine" tell him Thanks! Very much appreciate the work that went into this.

Also to all who contributed Thanks also!

Really useful to be able to re-install Windows 7 on peoples Laptops removing all the usual bloat ware.

I couldn't believe the amount of times you had to reply where people couldn't be bothered reading or searching for same things over & over again. I read through all 214 pages & all my questions were answered.

 

Hello all,

There is an issue I discovered when using this OEM activation project. I hope my work-around will help others.

I am using this for a Windows 7 unattended install. The issue occurs when I use FolderLocations in the autounattend.xml:

Code:

            <FolderLocations>
                <ProfilesDirectory>D:\Users</ProfilesDirectory>
                <ProgramData>D:\ProgramData</ProgramData>
            </FolderLocations>

This is for moving \Users and \ProgramData to a 2'nd hard drive when the system drive is a SSD.

What happens during install is the OOBE.CMD is run and the folder locations are moved. Then setup reboots and OOBE.CMD is run a second time. Since the OOBE.CMD supplied deletes itself at the end of the script, setup hangs when trying to run it on the second pass.

My work-around is to rename the OOBE.CMD script to something else, such as OEMACT.CMD, then create a new OOBE.CMD like this:

Code:

@ECHO OFF
IF EXIST "%~dp0OEMACT.CMD" CALL "%~dp0OEMACT.CMD"

I've tested this in a VMWare Player VM with BIOS modified to be HP and with 2 30GB hard drives.

 

This isn't a bug or issue for you are trying to use this project for something else and it wasn't meant for that. Good you found your own workaround though.

 

tnkz por the App !

Hi all, im new at this forum and i must say its a VERY NICE forum to help people out there.

I m here beacause i have a computer with windows 8 OEM LICENCE (HP COMPAQ CQ58 ), the HD is dead so i CAN'T recover it from Recovery partition, so i am looking for a windows 8 OEM to install on it, i tried some DVDs that claim they are OEM, but the computer dont recognized them as OEM, So theres a WINDOWS 8 or 8.1 OEM to install properly?

im reading this post but it just confuse me more, can anyone tell what the steps and also when i tried to download the tools it download something else that puts a lot of annoying ads and stuffs, anyone have the direct links?
