    Could do just wondering if anybody had encountered this and had already done it for all the brands.

    i think you are using vista, if you are using windows vista igner product key box , vista activation start before you login (because setupcomplete.cmd used to activate vista)

    ok so I tested it out on my dell inspiron n5010 and installed nicely. I also tested vista in vmware and I like the time change on shutdown for on slower systems they might need that extra time so nice middle setting for it.....if need be others can adjust to their own liking. Nice job.

    Hi: This DVD is really great, thanks for all the hard work. and I would like to know if there is any way to make computer shut down instead of reboot before the "first boot", which is where you input user name, computer name, cd key, and all those info before log in to computer for the first time. If there is a way to make it work, I d like to learn how. Tried unattended file with Restart option set to "Shutdown" instead of the default value of "Restart" in Microsoft-Windows-Setup_neutral, but with no luck. also, I would like to know the process of WIN 7 installation, or sequence. for instance , when is oem file copied, when is oobe system ...etc. Thanks in advance.

    hello,
    great job with this dvd!
    i've got a question for you: is there a way to make the user choose if apply brand logos or leave default windows theme during the installation?
    i made an application that opens before windows installation and create a .txt file with a name based on the selection between brand or default theme. but i don't know where to put those txt files because none of the directories available during windows setup are copied in windows final directory so the oobe.cmd cannot control if those files exists to do certain actions instead of other ones..
    i've also tried to make oobe.cmd open the application itself, but if i do that the installation just stands still on "Windows is preparing your computer for first use" screen..
    any suggestions?

    If you shutdown before login the display.exe wont run on first logon. It kicks out runonce reg entry so not recommended. That is why he adjusted restart to 45 sec so vista will have enough time to logon and run display.exe before restart.

    @Klomar
    You cannot install nothing before windows setup for dir structure and registry have not been setup yet. As far as the rest of what you said I think others might be better at explaining that then me.

    Thanks for reply,
    What I am trying to do is avoid restart the computer right the way, shutdown it instead. Then the next time I boot it up I can have an option to type in user name, computer name, cd key, etc.
    I tried to create unattended answer file with pc name user name etc, which works fine, but the thing is, if I want to change the user name post installation, it seems windows 7 wont change the dir, it only changes the display name, user folder is still under the original user name. By shutdown the computer instead, gives an option to input those data at later time, so I dont have to stay till the installation completed, I expected it to finish and shut down, so the next time I boot it up, I can just input those data. thanks again ..

    i imagined that.. so my only chance to do that is during preparation for first use.. anyone knows how to make oobe interact directly with the user during its execution?

    i made it! the application is working so now i have one single dvd with all versions and you can choose if use branding themes, custom theme or windows default theme directly during the installation before oobe apply any change to the system. with that program you can also choose if activate windows with oem serials taken in this post (or in case of failure with windows loader) or to install a clean not activated version of windows in case you have a personal original serial. the only problem i got now is that in that dvd i put also enterprise and N versions of windows and they cannot be activated with oem keys or with loader, so i set the oobe.cmd to use removewat if a enterprise or N version is detected but it doesn't work with N versions. with enterprise it works good.
    someone knows the edition id of N versions? i thought there were "STARTERN" "HOMEBASICN" ecc but it doesn't work..

    i've modified the last oobe shared on this thread and it works in parallel with an exe write in c by me :).
    i'll share everything in a single package when i'll be sure that everything is working.. i've some little problem now XD. i don't know why.. the program i made just create a file .txt in same folder of the application with different name based on selection to use brand or not (if you select to install without branding it creates NOBRAND.TXT, if you select to install with brands it doesn't create anything. it works fine in test but when oobe.cmd opens it, even if you can make your selections, the files aren't created..
    here's my oobe.cmd, take a look :) View attachment OOBE con mia attivazione.zip

    EDIT: %RQR2% | findstr /I "ENTERPRISE" && %INL% SET EDITION=ENTERPRISE&goto :BIOS
    this findstr function is case sensitive?

    EDIT2: i found the solution for my first problem! .txt files were saved on system32 folder and not on scripts folder (i think because cmd.exe is in system32). so i've only to set oobe.cmd to search for those files on system32

    EDIT3: i just tested it and it works great! now i've only to repair the problem with N versions before mentioned..

    Try this example for "N" versions....
    %RQR2% | findstr /I "STARTERN" && %INL% SET EDITION=STARTER&goto :BIOS

    No "N" on the second one. Not for sure but u can try.

    if i do that then it can creates a conflict with normal starter edition i think..

    all the functions to identifies edition are these:
    %RQR2% | findstr /I "ENTERPRISE" && %INL% SET EDITION=ENTERPRISE&goto :BIOS
    %RQR2% | findstr /I "ULTIMATE" && %INL% SET EDITION=ULTIMATE&goto :BIOS
    %RQR2% | findstr /I "BUSINESS" && %INL% SET EDITION=BUSINESS&goto :BIOS
    %RQR2% | findstr /I "PROFESSIONAL" && %INL% SET EDITION=PROFESSIONAL&goto :BIOS
    %RQR2% | findstr /I "HOMEPREMIUM" && %INL% SET EDITION=HOMEPREMIUM&goto :BIOS
    %RQR2% | findstr /I "HOMEBASIC" && %INL% SET EDITION=HOMEBASIC&goto :BIOS
    %RQR2% | findstr /I "STARTER" && %INL% SET EDITION=STARTER&goto :BIOS
    %RQR2% | findstr /I "ENTERPRISEN" && %INL% SET EDITION=ENTERPRISEN&goto :BIOS
    %RQR2% | findstr /I "ULTIMATEN" && %INL% SET EDITION=ULTIMATEN&goto :BIOS
    %RQR2% | findstr /I "PROFESSIONALN" && %INL% SET EDITION=PROFESSIONALN&goto :BIOS
    %RQR2% | findstr /I "HOMEPREMIUMN" && %INL% SET EDITION=HOMEPREMIUMN&goto :BIOS
    %RQR2% | findstr /I "HOMEBASICN" && %INL% SET EDITION=HOMEBASICN&goto :BIOS
    %RQR2% | findstr /I "STARTERN" && %INL% SET EDITION=STARTERN&goto :BIOS
