What is the advantage in pwning cmd.exe ? It seems not really useful. SetupComplete.cmd gives Admin rights. But in other cases I was obliged to use. Excuse my bad English. Thanks

Maybe you have made a mistake in your post, but the folder SCRIPTS is in \sources\$OEM$\$$\SETUP\SCRIPTS and inside is SetupComplete.cmd and also if you use WPI.bat

@nice_guy75 Maybe you can find some help here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929828 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Run the Slmgr.vbs script in an elevated Command Prompt window. For example, run cscript c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs –rearm. Note Administrative credentials are required to run the Rearm process. The Rearm process can be run a maximum of three times in a Windows Vista image. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think it is available for Windows 7. You can try also, in an elevated Command Prompt window: slmgr And you can see all the options. J have a french version, but you can see the options in yellow color. See attachments. J hope that will help you!

@nice_guy75 Maybe, you can test this method and keep the activation of your copy. First validate your copy of Windows 7. After copy/paste the file "tokens.dat" in the folder SCRIPTS of your installation source. And make a bath file nammed "active.bat" active,bat ------------------------------------------------------ @echo off :: Install the product key and keep activation TAKEOWN /F %SystemDrive%\Windows\System32\cmd.exe net stop sppsvc DEL /Q "%SystemDrive%\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetWorkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\Tokens.dat" COPY /Y "%~dp0tokens.dat" "%SystemDrive%\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetWorkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\" net start sppsvc cscript %systemroot%\System32\slmgr.vbs -ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX (key Windows 7) cscript %systemroot%\System32\slmgr.vbs -dli cscript %systemroot%\System32\slmgr.vbs -ato EXIT -------------------------------------------------------- In the SetupComplete.cmd, add SetupComplete.cmd --------------------------------------------------------- @echo off start /WAIT %~dp0Active.bat exit -------------------------------------------------------- If you want hide the process of the batch, you can use this script active.vbs ----------------------------------------------------------- Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell" ) WshShell.Run "%SystemRoot%\Setup\Scripts\activel.bat" ,SH_WIDE ,true ----------------------------------------------------------- And put the key in Autounattend.xml I have installed Windows 7 many times wihtout any problem.

@crunch81 I don't use WPI with Windows 7, but J have tested for give you somme help. I have used with Windows XP. For Windows 7, J use RunOnceEx method and 7Customizer. But WPI is really interesting and useful. I have tested on the HDD and not with a virtual machine. You can try this method, J've tested succefully. You don't need to add anything more in the Auntounattend .xml file. In the folder \sources\$OEM$\$$\SETUP\SCRIPTS Create a batch file named "WPI.bat" (you can copy/paste this script): In your "WPI.bat" ------------------------------------------------------------------ @echo off TAKEOWN /F %SystemDrive%\Windows\System32\cmd.exe FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\sources\install.wim SET CDROM=%%i: start /Wait %CDROM%\WPI\WPI.exe exit --------------------------------------------------------------------------- And in your "SetupComplete.cmd" --------------------------------------- @echo off start /Wait %~dp0WPI.bat exit ---------------------------------------- Use only the files in "WPI.rar" with the WPI.exe. And remenber that some softwares needs to be copied on the HDD for their installation. Good luck and enjoy.

@blue4603 Thank you for the feedback.

Hello. Some help here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308421/en-us You can also change the file texte for a reg file at the attachment. Regards

I suggest a solution for those are making some modifications. If you change the language in the "bootorder.txt" with your current language, you have an error when you make the iso file. "Could not find boot.wi" or other text. Take care when you make this opération to "just" add only one space after the last line: sources\boot.wim and save the file. You can see the attachments. Image Capture.PNG modifications made in "bootorder.txt" with one space. Image Capture3.PNG iso file with error Image Capture1.PNG iso file with no error Thank you.

Thank you for this program. 7Customizer is really excellent. I notice just something stange during the creation of the image iso. It is needed \sources\boot.wi. I don't understand why the folder boot.wi is needed, because boot.win is in the folder sources? Thank you for the answer. I send the image and the log.txt. In this one, there is no problem. 7Customiuer a replacement for vlite for windows 7
