    OK, I'm sure this has been answered before, but I didn't feel like digging through 169 pages of (for me) mostly irrelevant information.

    All I have to do to use this is to copy the $oem$ dir into the "sources" dir on my win7 iso, overwriting as needed. I do not have to completely delete the existing OEM directory that my disk already has?

    Basically you have to completely delete the existing OEM directory that your disk already has. Then insert this one.

    @ Humphrey and others that wish to add branding to windows 8 installs. I created some redirects in oobe.cmd file to bypass the serial and activation so to just install branding in windows 8. Windows 8 will not be activated but should install oem info. This should also work with Win 8.1 also. Win Vista and Win 7 will install serial and activate still just to let everyone know. I just ran through the code real fast for I havent tested myself yet but should work. If not then just send a reply stating details. Sorry I dont have a lot of time anymore. :(

    oobe.cmd file only to replace the original oobe.cmd in the $oem$ folder (win 8 oem branding only, no activation):

    Changed cleanup phase so that it works now. How can a directory be deleted if a file is being ran from inside that directory? It can't. Here are both FirstLogon.cmd and OOBE.cmd with corrections. FirstLogon.cmd is for Win 8 only and OOBE.cmd is for Vista and Win 7 only. This should also work on the new windows 8.1 Blue when released hopefully. Updated instructions included.

    Updated above link to include windows loader 221 if not oem activated and also included KMSpico v7 oem folder version for win8 kms activations. Corrects UAC being disabled in win vista. Enjoy!

    If you are using custom PC i,e, not a branded model Dell, HP e,c,t that did not come with windows 7 or vista pre-installed then it will not add OEM:SLP key.

    Just used this along with my WIN7 OEM 9IN1 x86_x64 AIO disk, it activated automatically when installed on a new hdd in my acer netbook(win7 starter)... surprisingly, it still activated when using this with a retail disk, didnt think it would.

    Great work OP!

    Was just wondering if anyone knows which wallpapers in this tool are genuine OEM creations that came included with factory images. (As opposed to photoshop / deviant art made?)

    Great piece of work all the same.

    Since there are no more shared keys with oem's on win8 the only working solution is to use kms. I have updated my modified version to include kmspico v7.1 for win 8 only. Installs branding and if win 8 will auto activate upon logging in to the desktop the first time. I keep the original script as true as possible. This might serve a purpose as to oem branding and activating via kmspico for win 8. I used a display.cmd file that gets called at login to run kms activation and any extra software you wish to install since in win 8 you cant use oobe or setupcomplete. I just use the login to install the extras. Thanks goes out to all involved in the seperate projects that I just put together. I take no credit for this is just some scripting nothing special on my behalf. Give all the credit to the original creators of the projects.

    @cerberus8855

    I think its better to get permission from searchengine and start a new thread about your updated version.

    @Tito,
    I dont see why a new thread would be necessary for this isnt nothing new but just put together if you will for lack of a better term. Like said above it is nothing special just some scripting to correct cleanup, added alt activation if oem activation fails and correct uac disabling in vista (gets turned back on). Other then that nothing really changed. Most takes place in the display.cmd file that gets called from oiginal script to run the display.exe and anything extra for oobe and setupcomplete cmds are disabled in win8. Its up to all of you though. Doesnt really matter to me. I was just sharing what modifications I use personally to customize my installs. Maybe I shouldnt have shared it? ...Sorry

    I will remove it....again no disrespect or harm intended.

    No problem tito...I just dont want anyone upset with me for I am not trying to take over anyone's project, I just combined them into one. I did remove the link for I dont want to offend or make anyone mad at me so I thought that would be best. Like I said, I was just sharing. As far as another thread, the problem I would have with it is that I am not online much anymore so to keep it updated or make corrections would take me some time for I am really busy in real life. Its staff's call on that. Anyways, I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

    This did not activate my HP G60 (Windows 7 32bit Ultimate). I had to use Windows Loader :( It did load all the logos though!

    Is there anyway I can update my cd so that if oem activation fails it uses Windows Loader instead?

    I know how to add the windows loader as a script and stuff just don't know how to use it as an alternative if oem fails.

    Below are some specs on your machine...this is why it didnt activate....you dont have slic 2.1 in bios...either mod bios or use loader. This is why he includes the oem assm. tool to check first before installing.
    Operating System:
    Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1
