No it isnt, my CRC32/MD5/SHA1 checks matches the file..

Instead of just coming here when it mismatches, download and try again, if it does download on another computer.

Great package that i have been using for what seems like a few years now. I have noticed though that lately there are more and more GPT\UEFI combos (my motherboard included) and that the Daz loader will freeze the installation when run as it is incompatable with GPT\UEFI (Win7), Enterprise (Win7), and Windows 8. Is there any code we can add to SetupComplete.cmd that will check the OS and drive partitioning so that it only runs on Win7\Vista\etc MBR\BIOS? I know in autoit i can use a command such as

If @OSVersion <> "WIN_7" Then
MsgBox(48, "Windows 7", "This will only work on Windows 7", 1)
Exit
EndIf

...to close if it is not Win7. Is there a cmd equivalent, and a command to check the partitioning? Then it will be a truly universal $OEM$ folder and i won't have to delete the loader before installing the incompatible OS's from my install.wim.

@searchengine, your assumptions were right about silent mode, and the only way to close it is a reset; the loader locks the system during setupcomplete.cmd. That script may be exactly what im looking for (or at least a piece of the puzzle), i just don't have the time to do any VM tests for a day or so. My other workaround i was considering was to have setupcomplete run an autoit exe (that i am more familiar with) to run the loader and decide whether or not to run it.

I currently use a Winbuilder PE (x86 mainly, x64 for EFI) to install with, and have a custom gui. The boot.wim has an X: ramdrive, so in my gui, if i select Win7 (or Win 8) it extracts the proper sources dir (depending on the PE arch) to x:\sources, and i already have an $OEM$ folder in x:\sources\$OEM$, along with $OEM$w7x86, $OEM$w7x64, $OEM$w8x86, and $OEM$w8x64. It will copy the x86 $OEM$ folder to $OEM$, and then run x:\sources\start.exe with an autounattend and my gui adds a proper key to the xml. I have modded start.exe and autorun.dll so that i can rename start.exe to (ie : ) w7x86.exe where i have a corresponding file in the same directory as install.wim (i have 4 exe's, boot.wim, and install.wim in DVD\sources) so i can install Win7\8 x86\x64. It also runs a few autoit scripts that look for $winRoot\WinPEpge.sys and then copies the $OEM$ to $winRoot\$Windows.~LS\Sources\$OEM$. If its Win8, it deletes Daz loader. If its x64 im installing, it looks for $winRoot\Windows\SysWOW64 and it copies the x64 $OEM$ folder to $winRoot\$Windows.~LS\Sources\$OEM$. The install goes fine, it runs the loader, but if its GPT or enterprise the loader hangs. The script you supplied can maybe be run during the $OEM$ copy to check for GPT and will delete the loader.

@HALIKUS...

I think the ideal solution would be if when 'Windows Loader.exe' is ran in 'silent' mode from 'SetupComplete.cmd', that it self aborted, and self closed when 'unsupported OS, or incompatibility' is encountered, resulting in no 'freeze', no harm; thus allowing remainder of setup to continue.

however, the following example 'SetupComplete.cmd', may workaround your difficulties.

SetupComplete.cmd - example
Code:
@echo off

::clear
SET INL=
SET RQR1=
SET RQR2=
::begin
SET INL=IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 1
SET RQR1=REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v "ProductName"
SET RQR2=REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v "EditionId"

:CHECK1
::check activation status
WMIC /NAMESPACE:\\root\CIMV2 PATH SoftwareLicensingProduct WHERE LicenseStatus=1 GET LicenseStatus | findstr "1" >nul
%INL% goto :SKIP

:CHECK2
::check Windows OS -> '8'
%RQR1% | findstr /I "WINDOWS" | findstr /I "8" >nul
%INL% goto :SKIP
::check Windows Edition -> 'Enterprise'
%RQR2% | findstr /I "ENTERPRISE" >nul
%INL% goto :SKIP

:CHECK3
::check for 'efisys' in list volume function -> If it finds it -> check status & if 'healthy' -> goto :SKIP
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
echo list volume > %windir%\Setup\scripts\listvol.tmp
cd /d %windir%\Setup\scripts\ >nul
for /F "tokens=6-9 delims= " %%G IN ('diskpart /s listvol.tmp') DO IF /I %%G==efisys set mounted=%%J
del /F /Q listvol.tmp >nul
if '%mounted%'=='Healthy' goto :SKIP
endlocal

:LOADER
::run loader, cleanup, reboot
%~dp0"Windows Loader.exe" /silent /preactivate
cd %~dp0
attrib -R -A -S -H *.*
SHUTDOWN /R /T 5
Del /S /F /Q "%windir%\Setup\scripts\*.*" >nul
RMDIR /S /Q "%windir%\Setup\scripts" >nul
Del /F /Q %0% >nul
exit

:SKIP
::executed to 'Skip' running loader, cleanup -> from CHECK1,2,or3
Del /S /F /Q "%windir%\Setup\scripts\*.*" >nul
RMDIR /S /Q "%windir%\Setup\scripts" >nul
Del /F /Q %0% >nul
exit
Summary
:CHECK1
if activated, go directly to :SKIP
:CHECK2
if OS is Windows 8, or Edition Enterprise, go directly to :SKIP
:CHECK3
if 'efisys' detected, go directly to :SKIP
:LOADER
run 'Windows Loader.exe', cleanup, and reboot
:SKIP
by-pass running loader, and cleanup

Can we run this(Windows 7 DVD (Multi-Brand/Multi-Edition) Activation) after installation ?

I checked my code and it looks fine.

As Enterprise isn't supported it exits and if your drive is GPT it will only install the certificate and serial. However, if your drive is using MBR and you're not using the very latest version of the loader then it might hang if your systems ASUS.

Hello, I'm currently creating an Windows 7 Image with Image X and Win PE to deploy on multiple computer with different Brands. Is there's a way using this automatically when deploying the image created previously ?
I used my Windows 7 ISO with the &oem& folder to create the initial windows 7 image on a Dell computer. So I want to know if I use that image on another branded computer this will work?

Thank you!

No it will not work because the image you have is for a dell machine only.

@ iqbalpnr

I moved the shutdown cmd to under the loader install portion of script for only need to be restarted if loader used. Other than that looks great and installs perfect. Very nice and clean scripting!
I also added vmware info and theme for when i test in vmware.

Would like to say thank you to all involved in this project and it is great to see more ppl taking an active interest in this project.
