This means that MS has backed down from their lofty expectations delivered at Build concerning how apps would be handled. There was supposed to be some testing and approval process for apps submitted to the store. The man hours required for such a thing would have been immense. Its not surprising they opted for more of a break/fix approach to handling apps since their original goal (especially if Windows 8 had been a booming success) was probably not something even Microsoft would be able to pull off.

Well I did some playing around and make it so Flash won't work. Of course you can control whether or not it updates from the Control Panel icon. Deauthorizing the computer doesn't do anything really, seems to be more aimed at DRMed content. In my testing example I used 2advanced.com to verify Flash in IE10. Warning: The following commands will effectively "disable" Flash, after trying to view the test page in IE, IE and Explorer.exe crashed. So this is just the tip of the iceberg it would appear. Test it in a VM if you'd like, I wouldn't recommend it on your actual computer.

You are right, looks like a 32bit Flash Player. You can configure the one in System32\Macromed from Control Panel. YOu can block everything. Maybe even use that Deauthorise button on the advanced tab, but I'm not sure what that would do. If Opera is anything like Mozilla or Chrome, alternate install locations for the Flash files should be allowed.

I made a mistake in my post. I said VM but meant RDP.

What is the file named? Is this on a tablet or desktop?

Actually, the Control Panel (among other things) is a lot easier to get to with Windows 8. Once you learn about right-click on that lower-left corner to bring up that menu. Incidentally, that is the only way I can get into things on Server 2012 when I RDP into it. Since, for some reason, the Windows key doesn't work through the RDP with Desktop Experience like it does for previous OSes.

This same problem happened to a friend when he set out to design a car computer back in 1999. He solved the problem by using no extra cards and designing some suspension system using rubber bands to keep the hard disk from banging around inside the case.

You can try making a copy of the boot.wim that you added into your share. Mount it with DISM and put the AUTOUNATTEND.XML into the root of the mount point. Then commit the changes and try again. From what I am reading, Serva does not have the advanced functions of WDS, such as being able to attach an answer file to a boot image. You can try emailing the software's author to see if there is a way to do it without modifying your boot image. http://www.vercot.com/~serva/contact.html

You won't be able to do anything with it unless the Code 10 is resolved. I can't find any sort of website to get official drivers from, is there any support URLs on the documentation or CD it came with? Currently, on that device with the Code 10, what is on the Driver tab?

Some software support a different display name and login name. I think it is here but is disabled. The unfortunate problem with that type of option is that it can become difficult to keep track of people when they can change their name all the time.

Take a look at the menus listed here: http://reimagery.com/fsfd/menu.htm You'll need one that matches your PE architecture. If you are using a 32bit WinPE, that "Access" one might work for you. I have only used the MOO one from that list, but it is a 16bit app.

I'm just pointing this part out of your post. I have no experience using that product. You should make a post in this thread: Then I will close this topic.

The WinPE 3.1 is available as a download in the WAIK for Windows 7 SP1. Its really a waste for the most part. Is there a specific reason why you want the WinPE 3.1? I skipped it entirely and went from WinPE 3.0 directly to WinPE 4.0. Whatever new goodies were available in 3.1 didn't really effect anything I was doing, so I skipped it. Alternatively, you could make a copy of a Windows 7 SP1 DVD's boot.wim, which should be a 3.1 and then change the winpeshl.ini or whatever thing launches Setup.exe by default.

Why do you use the power button to shut down? That would be a forced shut down usually. What happens if you shutdown by using that option in the operating system?

What updates are you putting in the boot.wim? I've only installed a hotfix to a boot.wim ONCE.

Maybe its just me, but I wouldn't want to be associated with a username that has been banned.

I've never actually used Firewire before so I have no real experience with it. What I would do, however, is see if there are any mass storage drivers for the firewire controller on that system and inject them into the boot image. Then you can keep the install.wim on the Firewire drive. You should be able to use Setup in the boot.wim (USB) to install the image that way or DISM or whatever imaging tool you would be using.

For any certs I have done, it never involved using some third party for training like that. If you want a cert in something, you typically should go through the company itself. For example, if it is Microsoft, get a Partner account and then go into the training section. There you can get summaries of what is on each test. You can study on those points on your own, use a VM with that software in it, do some tutorials, etc. Cisco used to be similar. Otherwise, most of these companies can offer "boot camps" or even courses themselves, which are often handled by a second party company. I agree with the reasoning that this may or may not be a scam... but I would consider it on the same line as a seller on Ebay with less than 100 feedback.

I believe that I have included the 64bit browse.exe in the 7.3 download.

Well that explains why we got a bunch of screen cleaning cloths in our Windows 8 promo kit.

I've never heard of them and they don't have a page on Wikipedia. Not sure if that means anything tho.

Is this what the outage was yesterday around 18:50 UT? What's gonna change with the upgrade ( besides spam measures )? Unless some skin hacking is done, the forum may end up resembling the layouts of other current version sites, such as reboot or lunarsoft, among others. We shall have to see how it ends up!

I thought things would just settle down but I guess not. This wraps things up I suppose. Settle down.

Dumb switches can end up dropping the network to the slowest link speed in some situations. I ran into it personally, that's why I recommend it if there is a lot of data and a mix interface environment.

Well you've got the link to the MSU there. Have you tried manually installing it?
