Thank you, that should work. However i would prefer a "dism approach" as i can append my custom and activated wim to an AIO with other editions that don't need to be activated that way. Anyone else have tried my approach? How can i test it without formatting my actual notebook? I think virtual machine wouldn't work because the lack of slic...

Ok, now i have my sticker product key and cert.xrm-ms file (extracted from original recovery media). I've copied cert.xrm-ms into C:\Windows\System32\OEM and 'ive run: slmgr.vbs -ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx On reboot windows says it's activated. That's good. However with SLIC_ToolKit_V3.2 i still get No OEM Certificate found !(Run as Adminstrator). There is something else i have to do? Edit: i copied the file also in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\OEM and now SLIC_ToolKit_V3.2 says it's ok. Thank you!!! To finalize my install.wim do you think this is the correct way to save the activation status (without using setupcomplete.cmd to run slmgr.vbs): dims /Imagex:C:\offline /Set-Productkey:xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx mkdir C:\offline\Windows\System32\OEM xcopy C:\Windows\System32\OEM\cert.xrm-ms C:\offline\Windows\System32\OEM\cert.xrm-ms mkdir C:\offline\Windows\SysWOW64\OEM xcopy C:\Windows\System32\OEM\cert.xrm-ms C:\offline\Windows\SysWOW64\OEM\cert.xrm-ms

Still i can't understand. With OEM:COA + Slic 2.1 should i restore the original OEM.xrm-ms (i will take it from original restore DVD) or backup using Token Restore? I will put the relevant files directly into my custom install.wim file...

Up! Come again into this problem. My bions is 2.1 but shows an error: "NO OEM certificate found!". So how should i backup the license?

You should edit offline NTUSER.DAT, using regedt32 for example...

Problem here, SP1 is not listed under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall. I think because it's listed under "Updates" in control panel... but i can't find the reg key. Do you know where is it?

Thanks, i'm going to try this in a virtual machine. It's a "safe" method? I mean if it's possible to apply future updates even if C:\Windows\Installer items are missing.

I need to remove the ability to uninstall Office 2010 SP1. Is there anyway to install officesuite2010sp1-kb2460049-x86-fullfile-en-us.exe using a switch like "nobackup" , "nouninstall" or something like this? Thanks...

Ok, thanks. Do you know if Microsoft will release an sp1 version with size <= 700Mb?

Is this possible? Because using updates folder the iso file will grow and won't fit a standard CD. Thanks

As title i'd like to disable all the jumplist items and leave just "close program" one. Is this possible, maybe reshacking some files?

As title, where i can find the default config.ini used for capturing images? I'd like to add my custom exclusions.... thanks!

Sorry i don't know what slic is, i've checked with a small program and it says that my key is OEM:COA. Waiting for a solution?

Ok forget the setupcomplete.cmd method, how do i inject those 3 files in my wim? Simply copy over existing files?

I prefer the solution of injectpkeyconfig.xrm-ms and tokens.dat in the wim. However pkeyconfig.xrm-ms in my activated installation is the same (i've checked md5) on that in the wim file. Also both pkeyconfig.xrm-ms are hard links...

I have used dism.exe to set the product key of my custom install.wim. La PC is a laptop so (OEM) i have to activate using phone, a long and boring call. Any chance to save activation status? I have read that i should backup these 3 files: %SystemDrive%\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetWorkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwarePlatform\Tokens.dat %SystemDrive%\Windows\System32\spp\tokens\pkeyconfig\pkeyconfig.xrm-ms %SystemDrive%\Windows\SysWOW64\spp\tokens\pkeyconfig\pkeyconfig.xrm-ms and then: net stop sppsvc (copy that 3 files) slmgr.vbs -ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx net start sppsvc My question is, will it work in SetupComplete.cmd?Anyone has tried this already? Thanks

Imagine having two media and you need to put install.wim that is 9000Mb in size: - Media 1: free 4000Mb - Media 2: free 5000Mb If you run: imagex /split install.wim install.swm 4000 then you get 3 fragments install.swm (4000Mb), install2.swm (4000Mb) and install3.swm (1000Mb). But of course you only need 2 fragments. How can i merge, append install2.swm and install3.swm in order to get a fragment of 5000Mb? Thanks for helping

Thanks for helping. Do you think i can use the variable %~dp0 for referring to C:\ Windows\Setup\Scripts? And, will this work (removing the entire directory after completion)? @ECHO OFF regedit /s %~dp0Tweaks.reg %~dp0Runthis.exe cd %~dp0 attrib -R -A -S -H *.* RMDIR /S /Q "%WINDIR%\Setup\Scripts"

I usually restore my Windows 7 usign an hidden system partition, and the applying the image using ImageX. I kown that SetupComplete.cmd works when you put it in DVD\Sources\$OEM$\$\Setup\Scripts; is there a way to run it with /apply switch? I mean putting it in the .wim file? Thanks

After many tests, I see this is possible to use an Autounattend.xml file without enter keys, but some dialog boxes will be displayed: http://www.msfn.org/..._20#entry964713 Maybe that can help you! Wll I endend up setting default product keys and without using autounattend.xml. I still have to accept eula (right after the partition selection) and to specify languages and international settings at OOBE. Not a big problem, but i thank you for the product key tip (i dind't know it)

I followed your post, now each edition has its key. Using the autounattend.xml in attachment all works quite fine. The only difference is, without the key in the xml, setup still ask for license agreement (just after disk partitioning). autounattend.xml

Ok this is working very well. What if I add another image to the existing .wim file? Can I add more metadata in Autoattend.xml and more default keys, letting people choose a certain version?

Here is the xml answer file. File install.wim in sources has just 1 image in it (Home Premium x64). Autounattend.xml

Really really thank you! Just a little problem: when Autounattend.xml is placed on the root of the dvd, setup stop at choose version (even if there is a ei.cfg) showing a blank line...

Well thanks. But what is a "default product key"? I have to use it on many machines, each with its own product key...
