@searchengine

i used your oobe.cmd (with sharecheck) on my compaq mini but it installed HP theme instead of the compaq one..

here's what i get if i use wmic commands with cmd:

c:\>WMIC BIOS GET VERSION
Version
110708 - 20081107

c:\>WMIC CSPRODUCT GET VENDOR
Vendor
Hewlett-Packard

c:\>WMIC COMPUTERSYSTEM GET MANUFACTURER
Manufacturer
Hewlett-Packard

c:\>WMIC CSPRODUCT GET NAME
Name
Compaq Mini

c:\>WMIC COMPUTERSYSTEM GET MODEL
Model
Compaq Mini

c:\>WMIC BASEBOARD GET MANUFACTURER
Manufacturer
Hewlett-Packard


so if i use your oobe.cmd all the informations that it gets are only about hp. it doesn't recognize it as a compaq

 

see searchengines post below....

 

Will test on wife's lappy but I dont have a mini to test on so maybe Klomar can test that one....Thanks searchengine!

 

@ searchengine,
Is the reason why display.exe fails on vista is because theme is not running as default? I know it is installed but because of it not running on first boot it cannot adj res. (theme needs to be running for it to adj it).....if that is the case then can i delete the display exe for vista only then? but still use for win7? Just asking...

Update: Your new oobe and bios files worked perfect now on wife's Compaq lappy....Thank you!

 

I havent tried ur new oobe and bios files yet in vista but will in vmware to see if it now runs correctly. I will test once I get back from paying bills (oo what fun...lol). Will report back with findings. Thanks again for all the work put into this!

@ searchengine.....display.exe seems to work for a bit until manually restart from desktop......if I reboot after installing everything it kicks out the background theme....I have to choose theme from display properties for it to stay. Also why does UAC get turned off by ur script? It requires a reboot to turn back on even from reg entry which breaks display.exe I have noticed. Is there a way around this?
Note: This is in vista only.

Update: After doin alot of reading the past 12 hrs I have finally corrected the uac and background issues. Now keeps background after rebooting and uac is turned on which req a reboot which messed with the display.exe....now display runs and uac gets turned on and rebooted and background stays. Vista is such a pain. lol Win7 doesnt have these issue's. All is good and now I have to use it on a friends comp so more testing. lol Have a good day everyone.

or u can use my backup link on first page ;p

 

if you're interested i've modified my inital project: now during first boot will appear a simple application that makes you choose if apply brand or not and you can also manually choose what brand apply.
if you want i can upload it, i just have to find a new file hosting website because microsoft closed my files on mediafire and so i prefer not to upload this project on that site again XD

 

Hi all,

I have been using a thumbdrive to do all my installations which has both 32 and 64 bit versions of win7 and I can get to select which version of 7 i would like to install.
but my question is when i created the iso I can remember coming here and getting a oem collection to add to my sources folder which had a version number of 1.20, this collection consisted of 65 OEM's, Now I would like to be able to update this list, and I wondered if this $oem$_AIO_Win7_Vista_DVD[2.1~2.0]Apr2012.7z had been created by the same person.

all I can go on is this, on my v1.20 list there is a theme_Default.txt file within the scripts folder that says this:

OPTIONS:-
========

DO NOTHING ... Manufacturer Brand theme will be applied, if detected;
"DEFAULT" folder theme will apply if manufacturer not detected.

OR

1. Delete only the "DEFAULT" folder from the "MultiBrand_OEM's" folder
... Windows Default Theme would apply if manufacturer brand not found.

2. Delete the "MultiBrand_OEM's" folder
... Windows Default Theme would apply regardless of brand found.

3. Place the "Theme_Default.txt" in the "DEFAULT" folder, in the "MultiBrand_OEM's" folder
...This forces the "DEFAULT" folder contents to be applied as custom theme.

* Edit files in "DEFAULT" folder with your own image/s etc
* USER.bmp no larger than 128x128 pixel 24bit bmp
* BACKGROUNDDEFAULT.jpg no larger than 256kb

and it looks very similar to the new version available. As I stated all I can remember is that it had a version number of 1.20, I have done some searching and cannot find any mention of it.

Could anyone throw some light on this please, has this new version been created by the same person as the version I originally used.
I would really appreciate any comments or help chaps.

Thanks In advance....

Yes $oem$_AIO_Win7_Vista_DVD[2.1~2.0]Apr2012.7z is the official updated version by searchengine the original developer.

 

Hi urie,

It's been a while since we last chatted.... How's things been, all okay I hope.

Unfortunately I have managed to rupture my right Gastrocnemius, I'd like to say it was caused by doing something really cool like "rock climbing" or a really bad football foul, but it happened while playing with my son on a swing..... lol

So I thought I'd take the opportunity to update a few things, this being one of them, So would you say it's fine to just overwrite my original $oem$ folder with this one, or would I need to do anything extra?

In my original folder I have the following:
Certificates (folder)
MultiBrand_OEM's (folder) (containing 65 OEM folders)
OOBE.cmd
Theme_Default.txt

---------------------
but I see in the newer version there is the same:
certificates (folder)
MultiBrand_OEM's (folder)
Custom_Theme_[readme].txt
keys.ini
oembios.ini
OOBE.cmd

also within the $$ folder I noticed "Display.exe" which has been compressed with a modified version of Upx, is this file necessary??

Thanks for your advice urie,
sadsack
