i was editing the ei.cfg file to get the version i desired however the hash did not match that of whats listed on msdn website. i used this program at the recomendation of another member here and it not only works, it yeilds the same info of that on msdn! i went from pro to ultimate. from checksum:
I tried this and I see 2 things: The patch indicates success, but the hash no longer matches; you can still see and access the ei.cfg file in PowerISO and it still says [EditionID] Ultimate [Channel] Retail [VL] 0 I haven't tried an install yet to see if I get the version menu. Why would the hash not be correct? I renamed the file in Explorer, does the filename affect the hash? TIA! Russ
Thanks! All I've found are the hashes for x86 and x64 versions of "Ultimate". Using "eicfg_removal_utility.zip" alters the hash on both of these ISO's. From what I'm reading, it's not supposed to? Russ
I just wanted to "remove" the ei.cfg file so I get the version menu where I can select which version to install. I know I can delete the ei.cfg file, but that WILL change the hash. I was under the impression that running this program was supposed to "flip a bit", and in effect, hide the file w/o changing the hash value. It does neither, yet indicates success. The 'puter I working on is running XP, surely that wouldn't matter? Russ
windows7_iso_image_edition_switcher leaves hash the same eicfg_removal_utility DOES alter the hash sebus
OK, I wasn't sure if the file name was counted in there or it was just the file's contents... Thanks! Russ
