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

The thing I don't care for "personally" is that it adds extra line of code from original thus making it longer. Think I will keep it the same for right now anyways. Feel free to change it yourself if you like your method better. I have no objection. The great thing now is that it is open source so to speak...edit it how you wish if you like.

 

You did not offend me. Also you are by no means ignorant or rude. Your very smart and I thank you for your help. You can edit yours how you wish, I don't care nor am I offended. We are good my friend. I am going to take a break and watch a movie...my eyes are hurting from looking at the monitor all day long. lol I will be back online later. Take care and have fun.

 

i have old one, and i see no Autounattend.xml in it at all. is that part of the new project?

So i just use aio maker to make the AIO disk, then insert the $oem$ folder, then add the autounattend.xml and install folders to the root of the bootable usb as well?

Also would daz loader break things, because it forces a reboot, or will it be delayed until after the OOBE? will it update on the internet ok in audit mode?

 

The xml's are in the option folder in old project and new project.
The oem folder goes in the sources folder and the xml goes at the root of the iso/usb.
If you use daz loader use it from setupcomplete.cmd or firstlogon.cmd....if you wish it not to reboot then add no restart to the loader switches.
In order to use the windows update for windows 8.x from audit mode you will need to add powershell extensions. This is another conversation all together. lol

 

ah. right. of course that one would be skipped. setupcomplete has the reference to the loader, but only tries to execute it if the multi oem failed to find a cert, and that runs out of OOBE. i guess testing on a virtual machine would be a good idea?

 

That's what I would recommend before using on a real machine.

 

I had to go back to using the monitor tool in order to get resolution size in windows 8....this does not effect the other OS's, only windows 8 so I am going to remove the wmic for resolution and use the monitor tool for it works in all OS's.

Update: Can NOT use wmic at all in windows 8! I have no choice because of windows 8 but to use other programs to get oem-dm key and resolution of monitor so the project will grow a little bit because of this issue in windows 8. I will work on this tomorrow...I'm tired.

 

I went back to the old way I had it a week ago for it works on all OS's. Like the saying goes..."if it's not broke, don't fix it."

 

Got an issue, tried using several different iso's now after Murphys Windows 8.1, and still get the same result in the middle of install

'Windows cannot copy files from D:/Sources to C:/Windows/Sources. The files do not exist. Make sure all files required for installation are available and restart the installation. Error code 0x80070002'

Keep getting stuck at this step - I've tried it with 3 different iso's now all giving the same result where am I going wrong?

Turn off Legacy support in BIOS to force UEFI
Drop $oem$ folder into sources
Add Force_Theme_[readme].txt into HP folder
Drop ei.cfg file into sources

Save
Create bootable disk

Came with Windows 8 OEM, now has no operating system

Help?

No, just a straight x64 iso, so there's only one source folder - I've used the same USB on this machine to install windows 7 previously, just trying to get back to 8 now so I can sell it

Thanks for the link to the relevant post
