    I know bud. It's win 7 giving me the headaches right now for it doesn't like the vbs file I use to get screen resolution. Might have to do this like searchengines' oem-sync if nothing else. Seems a lot of services don't run at oobe.cmd like vbs not working in win 7 only. Works when at the desktop but not in oobe.cmd file. Says script has error on line 14 space 1...."For Each objProcess in colProcessList" is the line giving me headaches. lol

    Update: Might have found my issue...need to add On Error Resume next to nul out the error and let the vbs file finish and output to txt file. Testing now...that failed also...looks like it will be ran from first logon in registry so the vbs file works correctly. You cant run a vbs file from oobe.cmd in win 7 only, the other OS's work perfect with the vbs file. Grrrrr

    Think I will use vb.net to output the resolution of monitor so it works in all OS's. ;)

    Thanks to abbodi1406, the resolution check now works on vista - win 10. Thanks for your help abbodi1406. :) Now to do more resizing of images...the boring part (54 more oem's to add resolution sizes to out of 114). lol
    I added the new INSYS images to the new project that 555LE posted, thanks 555LE for your contribution.
    Update: added empty key sections to autounattend.xml's plus created one for win 8.x which has empty key sections also. The autounattend.xml files work on both x86 and x64.

    Been removed because of takedown notices plus searchengine is not here to support it anymore. New project will be posted in its own new thread when done. ;)

    Sorry for taking so long for the new project but I had to rebuild the transmission in my car. I will get back on this ASAP. I only have 28 more images to resize then I will be done.

    No big difference per say other then being open source now where anyone can update it if needed. The only thing I cant update is the oem-query tool for there is no source code for that. In time I will re-write it from scratch possibly but working on the main project for now. Just have images left to resize (everything else including txt files and xml files have been updated).

    Interestingly, you can put any type of key in the MSDM table, not only OEM: DM one.

    This saved me so much time getting VMware to accept the rom.....thanks again Tito and yes that is very interesting. :) Nice to know for now that the win 8.x oem-dm keys in bios can activate windows 10 technical preview. Hope this remains in tact for final release. The new oem project will be ahead of the game. lol My only concern is that the last technical preview build broke wmic get productkey (don't know if this is on purpose or just a bug, time will tell). Either way it is no big deal for if wmic doesn't work then I can use another method for getting the key. ;)

    So I take it wmic still works....maybe just a bug that others have reported. If nothing else I can always use the getwin8key.exe to do the trick, if need be. ;)

    New project update status.....16 more oem's to resize images then the project will be completed. :)

    Actually I noticed that about 30 mins ago while messing with win 10. lol Thanks for pointing that out anyways. I am sure others might not have known about it yet. You beat me to it. lol

    Done and thank you xinso. :) I forgot that I did not need that anymore since I got wmic working in oobe.cmd file. See, it is nice to have others test as well. :) I installed this on my neighbors computer (win 8.1) and went as smooth as silk.

    anyone know if the current or new one works with Anarethos recovery? Seems like this would be a useful tool for system builders. I tried reading the threads and found info about it not working right.

    Anyway seems the ability to install clean onto licensed systems, brand properly, and create a restore partition would be very useful and legal (just have to install the same one as the COA sticker for windows 7 and vista, and just read the key from the bios for windows 8) for people that like to fix computers.

    I have used the old one and the new one that I have been working on with anarethos recovery tools....my neighbor has recovery tools and the new project installed as well so yes it works with it but you need to use anarethos recovery tool xml file instead of the ones included in this project in order to set your partitioning. I use anarethos recovery tools and this project all the time. ;)
