    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.

    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 ;)

    This is meant for educational purposes only!
    :)

    ::check activation status, and exit::
    WMIC /NAMESPACE:\\root\CIMV2 PATH SoftwareLicensingProduct WHERE LicenseStatus=1 GET LicenseStatus | findstr "1" >nul
    IF ERRORLEVEL 1 goto :NOT_LICENSED
    RD /S /Q "%WINDIR%\Setup\Scripts" >nul
    DEL /F /Q %0% >nul
    EXIT

    ::run loader, if not activated::
    :NOT_LICENSED
    %~dp0"Windows Loader.exe" /silent /preactivate >nul
    cd %~dp0
    attrib -R -A -S -H *.*
    DEL /F /Q %~dp0"Windows Loader.exe" >nul
    SHUTDOWN /R /T 25
    DEL /F /Q %0% >nul

    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 :)

    Thanks searchengine. :)

    Found some time today to play with the resolution issue...created a test script and it seems to be working...now to adjust for vista. Getting closer. lol

    Update: oobe.cmd script is done. Only grew by 4 kb from the original. Does not use Display.exe anymore. Will have more time next week for thorough testing.

    Try adding this to the :Setkey section of oobe.cmd script...add under the other three IF /I "%MAN2%"=="ACER" listed there. Let us know if it works.
    IF /I "%MAN2%"=="ACER" IF /I "%MAN%"=="ASUS" SET MAN2=ASUS&goto :SERIAL

    Note: Before doing this make sure to change back the oemscan.ini defaults to ACER in order to make sure this fix works, thank you.

    According to what u say, you ran the '$oem$ Assessment Tool' AFTER you used 'Windows Loader' to apply slic 2.1. 'Windows Loader' apparently used it's default 'ACER' (ACRSYS) slic, cert, and serial to activate your machine... no surprise then when you run '$oem$ Assessment Tool' it picks up the 'ACER' (ACRSYS) slic (from loader install) and reports 'ACRSYS' Bios ID and 'ACER' activation.

    It's irrelevant what edits u make to the 'oemscan.ini' & 'OOBE.cmd', as 'Windows Loader' is applying 'ACER' to your machine... if you want 'Windows Loader ' to FORCE 'ASUS', then it's readme file will tell u how to do so.

    Thanks for your advice... I followed your advice but nothing changed...
    I see in the post after yours, searchengine stated: According to what u say, you ran the '$oem$ Assessment Tool' AFTER you used 'Windows Loader' to apply slic 2.1. 'Windows Loader' apparently used it's default 'ACER' (ACRSYS) slic, cert, and serial to activate your machine... no surprise then when you run '$oem$ Assessment Tool' it picks up the 'ACER' (ACRSYS) slic (from loader install) and reports 'ACRSYS' Bios ID and 'ACER' activation.

    ----------------------------------------
    It is my understanding that Windows Loader uses BIOS to determine what BRAND to use unless it's overridden to use something specific... It this correct, then why doesn't it see my ASUS Mainboard and use it instead of the Acer default settings for the specific Windows 7 version installed? I have read the 'Windows Loader' readme file and I do NOT understand how to FORCE 'ASUS' to be used vs the normal method... Remember, I am a NOOBIE & a NOVICE... LOL
