    OH MY GOD GUYS! IT WORKED! :clap:Had I not got this then first I had to do a recovery from my windows 8 HP disc which takes 6 hours to finish with all the bloatware. Then I had to update Windows 8(approx 1gb) then I had to download windows 8.1 from store(4 gb) then I had to download windows 8.1 updates too(600mb). But this ISO saved me from all those bulls**t. Now I have a fresh windows 8.1 installed without any bloatware and the oem key is accepted too!!
    THANK YOU VERY MUCH!:worthy::worthy: i dont understand why doesn't Microsoft provide the ISO's:g:

    Because these OEMs get paid to put that crap in your system and MS doesn't sh** on the people who pay them.

    Hey what I was thinking is since this ISO doesn't read the key from BIOS so is it technically possible to install this ISO on another computer and activate with my OEM key?(obhiously deactivating my previous installation first). Because I dont think this iso checked if i was installing the OEM key on my OEM machine. :g:

    I believe it's tied to your hardware.
    It goes by things like hard drive serial number, mac address, etc.

    HI,
    i downloaded this esd file from first Page:

    File: 9600.17050.winblue_refresh.140317-1640_x64fre_client_professionalwmc_de-de-ir3_cpwmca_x64frer_de-de_esd_29dcc2b2e245dca2ac2de3a878a41c35b0be86a4.esd
    Size: 2.51 GB
    SHA1: 29DCC2B2E245DCA2AC2DE3A878A41C35B0BE86A4

    I think it is Win 8.1 Pro with wmc included. Now i created the Iso and when I try to install alll my wmc keys fail btw. are not accepted.

    Why do my (valid) wmc keys do not work for Installation ?

    Edit: Problem solved ; got a wmc install key

    Windows 8.1 with media center now installed

    ERROR: Error while setting up key objects.
    they might changed the cryptokey (not surprising)

    btw, qad-esd-decrypter-v4 uses the old vhd method
    it's recommended to use esd-decrypter-v3.7z from the OP

    could probably mod the script to include the crypto key if we can find it. I seem to remember qad leaving that option in.
    Can we nail down the log files or xml files somehow?
