    I was under the impression that if the SLIC was 2.0 then the loader would kick in and wallpaper and other items in the Custom folder would be loaded.
    RTFM, sorry I thought I had but did not see my answers.

    I read the instructions for the loader and as far as i can tell there is no mention of how or where to insert it.

    The script applies branding nomatter if you have slic or not, its based on searches in BIOS for manufacturer etc.
    Loader only kicks in if your version doesnt have 2.0 or 2.1.

    Okay, I just read the part about the scripts and it is as you stated. I guess it was so easy I confused myself. If you could answer one last question for me. Do I put the loader in as a folder or as individual files? That would be the same as where the scripts folder is? $oem$/$$/Setup/

    Still found Compaq OEM instead

    First, Thank you for all of you and your effort to making this happen, its amazing to have all AiO branding to make their own builds OEM.
    But i still found the problem with HP and Compaq thing(HP computer, but got compaq oem instead). Is there any fix or did i skipped some of post coz i'm searched before posting and didn't found any probs or fix for this case. Also these my details from using "wmic bios", which oobe script should decide between HP and compaq. (btw. didn't find any compaq word ???)

    Code:

    If any info's needed, just tell me I will provide much as i can. Thank you for advince :rolleyes:.

    ps; after fails, i edited the script with copy the hp to upper lines before compaq can attack. And this work out nice but this is/may just a weird and wrong action and didn't really solve this issue ?!
    my english is bad, sorry for your inconvenience. :worthy:

    Identify the optimum resolution of the monitor of the user & apply corresponding images. :)

    @no0p7z...

    In early days of project, there were some reports of themeing glitch between Compaq|HP, but I haven't heard of this glitch for a very long time.

    Compaq and HP share the same biosid (ie. HPQOEM), which is fine for activation, but not helpful for applying logos|theme... that's why the script checks for manufacturer name (ie. Compaq or HP etc) before resorting to just looking for HPQOEM biosid...

    Moving the script check for HP before the check for Compaq, has apparently "fixed" the issue for your particular pc, but doesn't explain why Compaq logos were applied previously, if the script had not found "Compaq" name...

    Could you save this code as a .cmd file and run it on your desktop... it will give 4x txt files on your desktop...I would be interested to see if the name "Compaq" is present in any of the 4x files.
    Code:
    @echo off

WMIC COMPUTERSYSTEM >>system.txt
WMIC CSPRODUCT >>product.txt
WMIC BASEBOARD >>base.txt
WMIC BIOS >>bios.txt

:eof
    Edit:- could you also save this next code as a .cmd file and run it from your desktop, and advise message displayed in cmd window...
    Code:
    @echo off

SET INL=IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 1

::Compaq|HP manufacturer brand check|set::
WMIC BIOS | findstr /I "COMPAQ" >nul
%INL% SET MAN=COMPAQ&goto :COMPAQ1

    @LiLCruz...

    The example SetupComplete.cmd has already removed reboot instruction, so you can use the example to apply Windows Loader.exe if necessary, and Display.exe instructions will not abort.

    I made my first AIO 64 bit. The PC was a Gateway with SLIC 2.0 so I added the loader in Sources\$OEM$\$$\Setup\scripts\Windows Loader.ex. I also put the SetupComplete.cmd in Sources\$OEM$\$$\Setup\scripts. It completed the install and the loader automatically ran. The only problem I had is it loaded the Windows Default Theme instead of the gateway theme. I did not remove the ei.cfg so it defaulted to Professional. Why wasn't the Gateway theme used?

    I know it isn't a true AIO but I wanted to try this to see if the manufacturers theme is inserted.

    looking thru your earlier posts, it would appear that you may have been editing|renaming contents of Custom folder, and Gateway folder (trying to add Gateway to both folders), and resulted in neither Custom folder, nor Gateway folder contents being applied as theme.... thus Windows Default Theme appeared.

    I would suggest using the untouched $oem$ folder contents, and only add SetupComplete.cmd and Windows Loader.exe to the scripts folder....do not edit Gateway folder.

    I never did what I posted but I will try it once more with a fresh down load of the OEM files. I will get back to you in a few days with an update. I will do it first as is and then do it adding the loader and setupcommand and finally with the ei.cfg file set to professional. Thanks

    Yes, near bottom of 1st page, 'Credits' backup link from member cyclops is working.
    The main download link should be working again in a day or so (temporarily disabled by Dropbox for exceeding 10gb downloads in any month).

    ok

    Remove the ei.cfg do not edit it, then you have the option to install any version of windows 7 you prefer.

    I want it to default to Professional.

    OK I installed it successfully 4 different ways on my Gateway. All came up with the Gateway Themes.
    1. Clean X64 with AIO OEM files inserted and ei.cfg file removed.
    2. Clean X64 with AIO OEM files inserted and ei.cfg file defaulting to Professional.
    3. Clean X64 with AIO OEM files inserted and ei.cfg file removed. Windows loader.exe and keys.ini inserted.
    4. Clean X64 with AIO OEM files inserted and ei.cfg file defaulting to Professional. Windows loader.exe and keys.ini inserted.

    The only problems I came up with was the resolution of the Gateway wallpaper. I have an old CRT 22" monitor and that resolution is too high. It really does not matter as I think the Gateway wallpaper is plain ugly.


    Thanks for all your help.
