    @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
    WMIC COMPUTERSYSTEM | findstr /I "COMPAQ" >nul
    %INL% SET MAN=COMPAQ&goto :COMPAQ2
    WMIC CSPRODUCT | findstr /I "COMPAQ" >nul
    %INL% SET MAN=COMPAQ&goto :COMPAQ3
    
    WMIC BIOS | findstr /I "HEWLETT Hewlett-P Hewlett-Packard" >nul
    %INL% SET MAN=HP&goto :HP1
    WMIC COMPUTERSYSTEM | findstr /I "HEWLETT Hewlett-P Hewlett-Packard" >nul
    %INL% SET MAN=HP&goto :HP2
    WMIC CSPRODUCT | findstr /I "HEWLETT Hewlett-P Hewlett-Packard" >nul
    %INL% SET MAN=HP&goto :HP3
    
    WMIC BIOS GET VERSION | findstr /I "HPQOEM" >nul
    %INL% SET MAN=HP&goto :HP4
    
    :NOTHING
    echo no matches found
    echo.
    pause
    exit
    
    :COMPAQ1
    echo I would apply manufacturer logos for %MAN% from COMPAQ1 check
    echo.
    pause
    exit
    
    :COMPAQ2
    echo I would apply manufacturer logos for %MAN% from COMPAQ2 check
    echo.

    So how do I remove reboot instruction from "SetupComplete.cmd in there I want Display.exe to run with the loader.

    @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.
