Win 8.x • Win 7 • Vista - 'Multi-OEM' ISO Project

hey searchengine, I have been trying everything to query the resolutions size (reg query, vbs) with no luck. I know you said you used a autoit marco but I haven't never used autoit before. Can you share how you got pass this to get correct monitor resolution size so correct background can be used? I have been reading and reading about it but ppl online are having the same issue I am having trying to get the resolution size for monitor and they too are having no luck. Any help would be great for I am trying to upgrade my computer with win 8 and wanting the correct background to be chosen (Display.exe doesn't work on win 8 and 8.1). Thought I would ask (it never hurts, lol). Thanks in advance. Have a good day.

 

Problem with oem ass. tool still on wifes lappy...here are the files. I don't know if modded bios is causing or what.

I really don't know why your tool doesn't work on my wifes lappy but does on mine. The only thing I can think of is that her has modded bios for slic 2.1. I even made to temp folder writable for everyone and still no go. From the looks of it seems like the MSDM is failing for some odd reason.

 

Ok, I am officially lost on what the problem could be...I did get a little further as what specifically is causing it. Files can easily be written to but the .tmp files that rw creates is what isn't writable. Permissions on those are greyed out for some odd reason for all users. I turned off uac, rebooted...no go. Tried selective startup with only touchpad running with everything else disable...rebooted and still no go. For some odd reason the .tmp files created by rw is what the issue seems to be for those are the only ones not writable. Do you by any chance have anymore suggestions? Anything else I do with the temp files is ok just this tool so no biggie but I would still like to know why. lol

 

Think I just might redo my wife's lappy. That would solve it. There isn't much on there anyways. lol

On another note...I created a vbscript that works on vista - win 8.1 for resolution of background theme to be applied. I have two more wks of school then will have a wk and a half off so I will work on this again since you are finished with it. It will just be two more wks before I have the time.

Thanks for all the help and have a good day/evening.

 

Hello everyone
when I try to unpack oem_AIO_Win7_Vista_DVD2.1_2.0_Final2013.7z avira tells me that DISPLAY.EXE is a virus (tr / autoit.hf)

sorry for my english

 

Must be a false positive, no worries

 

Its a false positive, its safe. Next modified version will not need the display.exe

 

thanks

 

Hi everyone, I used this program to create a Windows 7 OEM installation DVD, everything worked per instructions, but it would not pass WAT... I think WAT said Product Key was invalid for that PC... I used Windows Loader to remedy that issue... I am NOT a programmer nor do I know anything about scripts... I would appreciate it if some knowledgeable user of this program would provide me the EXACT information and example so I can ADD the Windows Loader SILENT setup to the SetupComplete.cmd... I have a suspicion this might be needed for ALL installations when using this excellent program.

 

PM'ed you with the info about using setupcomplete.com

 

MMIKEE,

Its because you didnt have slic 2.0 for vista or 2.1 for win 7 in your bios. As far as how to use the windows loader by Daz, he includes instructions just for that in the readme text file included with his loader.

 

Thanks for the PM... I tried but cannot reply to your PM because I only had 2 post...

Where exactly do I INSERT this additional script info you provided into the OOEB.cmd file?
I see this at the end of the unmodified OOEB.cmd file which mentions something about "SetupComplete.cmd" below...

:CLOSE
::finished -> remove 'scripts' dir (if not exist 'SetupComplete.cmd') -> self delete 'OOBE.cmd'
IF NOT EXIST %windir%\Setup\scripts\SetupComplete.cmd (echo @echo off & echo. & echo RD /S /Q "%windir%\Setup\scripts" ^>^nul & echo DEL /F /Q %%0%% ^>^nul) >%windir%\Setup\scripts\SetupComplete.cmd
DEL /F /Q %0% >nul


Also, where do I need to place the Windows Loader.exe file so your added script can find it?

OBTW, I don't remember IF I rebooted manually after seeing the "3 days left" reminder... I did try to Activate when I saw that reminder, and that is when I got the message that the Product Key was invalid for this computer or whatever is stated... This is why I thought it failed WAT and used Windows Loader manually to REMEDY that issue...

Again, I want to Thank You for helping me...

 

To create a setupcomplete.cmd file open notepad and copy the info that dareckibmw gave you and goto file, save as, enter name as setupcomplete.cmd but also change the save as type to all files and click the save button. Now add the setupcomplete.cmd file and the Windows Loader to the scripts folder where the oobe.cmd file is. Thats it.

 

Thank you... I have followed your instructions and will TEST this soon, then post my results... OBTW, I have read some of your recent post here and am wondering if you are going to provide other users with your UPDATED oobe.cmd file etc when you have completed your modifications and testing? Again, thanks for you HELP and Advice...

 

The reason I said to you reboot manually was, as I needed more time to run silent installers before loader's script reboot itself. So, I removed one line from the script.

If you want to make it "fully automatic", use this

Vista DVD which is locked to a Version without PID.txt?

I tried a few searches, and started to read all 180 pages of this to see if I could find a solution for this problem (couldn't hack it please forgive if you've already discussed this):

How do you use this GREAT project to create a Vista installation that works like the Win 7 versions so that:

It is limited to Home Premium (for instance).
It retrieves the Manufacturer (BIOS??) during install AND
Installs the correct Mfg's product key and cert and activates (SLIC 2.0).

WITHOUT using PID.txt - which requires the use of the correct Mfg's product key during DVD build...

Same for Home Basic, etc...

I would like to use a DVD that matches the OEM sticker's product level on the computer so that I could restore any manufacturer's computer to its licensed version after HD crash, etc...

Also - I would _really_ appreciate a pointer to a link that works for Vista SP2 ISO's - 32 and 64 bit...

Edit: Just re-read Page 1... Now realize how stupid this question was - just remove PID.txt, don't put in a key and _select_ the version... However, I am still in awe about the wonder of this project
