Check the Spoiler under == Usage == in start post, abbodi1406 offers a decrytion script . ... too slow
Hello, I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. When selecting option 4 of the script, at the time of ISO creation, I receive this warning when oscdimg.exe run: [WARNING] 22524 stream(s) had incorrect reference count. I did not test the final ISO file yet, just thought I should report the error. Thanks for this nice project!
The setupbox for Windows 8.1 was updated and it now downloads ESD's with Update (and they contain same updates as MSDN releases, i.e. no KB2959977 and KB2934018). Unfortunately, the old trick, using Windows8-Setup and Windows 8 Retail keys to bypass the product key check, no longer works. But I can directly download Pro x64 ESD (ja-JP) from the link in windlp.xml so the direct links to ESD's seem to be publicly accessible without any authentications. Sorry I have no idea how to obtain all links for all editions and languages as NiFu and abbodi1406 did for GA ESD's. If someone makes a full list of the direct links, it might be useful for those who need a single edition/arch only for their use because the download is pretty much faster (about 20~40 MB/s which takes a few minutes to complete for me) than other ways like torrents, cloud storages. EDIT: There is no change in the way of encrypting ESD's and the contents of each indexes so the tools and scripts will work without any adjustment. I can successfully make a full ISO from the encrypted ESD that I freshly downloaded from the direct link.
@LostED and @abbodi1406 BTW, how do you get those numbers for each ESD's? I think those are related with the part numbers in M$ terminology but is there any correspondence between languages and those numbers? EDIT: These are Core Editions of my language (ja-JP). Could you also get all links for Core Editions?
