    I would use the current version posted on first page. New version (Sept) has more of a filter on the checks then the old one you are using.

    One more question....are u using a "untouched" win 7 dvd iso (retail not oem from another manufacture)? It should have installed background and oem info for Toshiba not Panasonic.....

    searchengine would have a better idea on this then me but this does have me curious.

    It could be your hard drive - panasonic brand, is it?

    I ask because I've had this problem few years back with my older Toshiba, which was activated as Hitachi because of the hard drive brand? go figure :D

    I really do believe that if you use the current Sept version all will be good. Give it a try and post back results.....like I said I am curious. If it still does the same which I doubt it will then searchengine can investigate to what is causing the problem.

    Sorry but my question is why showing as panasonic when done installing? Where is it getting that info from? I think only searchengine can help in this situation but I do believe that the new updated Sept version will work (better filtering).

    @helmet605...

    Please download (link removed - test completed) and run '$oem • Test.exe' and save 'Results.txt', then post copy of that report.

    It should look similar to this...

    Good, results confirm if you use the updated project files from the 1st page (Sep 2012 project update), your Toshiba machine will theme, and activate as Toshiba.

    Earlier project files searched the system 'more broadly' and was less efficient in filtering results of those searches, and may explain the 'Panasonic' glitch... although I do not recall any other members reporting any Panasonic|Toshiba conflict.

    I suggest you replace older $oem$ project files, with the Sep 2012 files.

    It just uses details from 'oemscan.ini' to check expected 'Theme|Activation', and uses 'rweverything.exe' to detect SLIC :biggrin:

    That would be cool to check a comp before trying install but to be honest your project has worked on every comp I have tried so far except for old version which had issues with my wifes compaq. This new version works perfect on the ones I have tested it on. Thanks again!

    Hi, I added the new files and now the iso is to big to fit on a DVD, is there a way i can make it fit on a regular DVD? My DVD has both 32 bit and 64 bit.

    Depends on how much you need to trim.

    If it is a small ammount, one option would be to look at the 100 brand folders contained in the 'OEM's' folder and delete any 'brand' folders you would never be likely to install, thus reducing the the total file size.

    A second option would be to zip the 'OEM's' folder and use 7z standalone commandline exe to extract the 'OEM's' zip during install, using OOBE.cmd to run 7z commandline tool.

    The new Sept files have 2 OEM folders, one is OEM's and the other is Multibrand_OEM's...Do you need both and if so why?

    Thanks for all your help.

    The new Sept files do not have 2xOEM folders... completely delete 'old' $oem$ folder, and use only the 'Sept' $oem folder (do not add files from new project to old, completely replace).

    Duplication of folders most likely explains why you can't get all on AIO iso

    The 2 folders I was talking about is in the sources, oem, $$, setup, scripts. I did delete some brands as you stated and now it fit, I'm trying to load right now.

    Thanks
