    Here is the edited file [EDIT: Link Removed!] I've just made some changes at the end (in the :end and the :not_licensed columns). Also, I renamed Daz's "Windows Loader.exe" to "setpref.exe" and copied the "Keys.ini" file to the same folder. Are the arguments fine for the loader to do its job or not? And one more thing, also please let me know if I can delete the loader and the ini file included with it after it has done it job, because if I can, I'll add the commands to delete them in the :not_licensed column (which shall be the same from the :end column. Am I right?)

    Thanks a lot!

    @searchengine - One more thing, we can make the loader reboot automatically (by adding the /restart argument) once it's done installing, right? So why make the 'Activation Message' text file? We can delete the file (and the first command in the :not_licensed column to check if the file exists and move it to the desktop). Won't it be better? (See the changes here [EDIT: Link Removed!]+ I've deleted the 'Activation Message' text file as well)

    (Correct me if I'm wrong anywhere)

    They are pretty well done, a good use of scripting so that it tries to activate via a BIOS mod and if activation still fails it will revert to the loader. Not something I officially support but props to you for working it out ;)

    Just FYI keys.ini isn't required, the application will revert to an internal set when the external ones are missing.

    Oh great. Didn't know that. Means I can safely do away with it. But they will be required if one wants to use a custom serial, right? :)

    P.S. - I just wanted to use the best loader out there. And the best one is yours. So kudos to you as well!

    Yes, if you want to maintain a list of serials yourself then thats what keys.ini is for.

    ...looks goooood ;)

    @nipun.narang ...
    "So this is the final thing which will first install the default keys and oem info, then try and detect the manufacturer, and if detected, will install the manufacturer's key and oem info (bios activation), and check the activation status. If the system is not activated, it'll use Daz's Loader to activate. Right?" ... yep, correct. :)

    @Daz ... cheers for info ;)

    Try the following code to get the bios version from WMI.
    Code:
    for /f "tokens=2 delims==- " %%A in ('"wmic bios get version /format:list"') do set query=%%A
