7Customizer - a Windows 7 Customization and Deployment tool

@Blue

I see inside the batch file "themes.bat" a command line:

mkdir "work\mount\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\ Themes"

During the ISO creation in command prompt I can see that the folder "Themes" already exists.

This is fixed in the new release. Before it was creating the folder twice.

Maybe it's not usefull to add this line?

It's possible to integrate the themepacks inside: Windows\Resources\Themes\?

Thank you Blue. Regards.

@ grabben

Yea it is, all he has to do is to change the path from Work\mount\users\babla to \windows\resources\themes instead.

No I will leave inside the default user profile. Also I tried to put a theme inside this folder and it did not show up.

@ netwave

Hmmmm I think it should work normally since there is no differnce between rtm and retail. I do not have a retail version so I am not 100% sure.

@ myselfidem

I think the error is that you are using the Debug mode.

You don't need to use it!

You can read the visual guide:

Debug mode is just used for pausing the execution. In the batch file, if debug mode

is on 7Customizer will add the pause command after each step. This is how it is working

@ beatmaster

Hi blue,

here are the german languages for 7customizer: Download Deutsch.lng

I hope you can install the Deutsch.lng directly ti 7customizer.

The Win-Lite.de Forum will be updated the languages, when a new version appears.

Also we have the same problems like grabben HERE.

Not enough room for the german text in the lines and also on the Buttons.

OK. I will integrate it in the next release.

Thanks guys for your feedback.

Hi Blue,

Hi Blue,

would it be possible to have programs installed as why i'm asking is that on my laptop i have a fingerprint reader and to be able to use it and save prints etc you need the software so could software like this be integrated into the install unattended process?

Thanks for all your effort

@Blue

Thank you very much for the new 7Customizer_0.4.3 and your answers!

I see that cacls don't work, maybe you can try icacls:

takeown /f %SystemRoot%\System32\cmd.exe

icacls "work\Themes" /grant *S-1-5-32-544:F

And there is the same message in command prompt: Themes already exists.

However the themepacks are really copied inside the folder!

Inside 7Customizer the file "eng-refrence.lng" have some new lines!

You need to check your translated file .lng

I hope that will help you

I noticed them and they are translated

Altho i made a mistake ( i pressed enter putting a translation on a new row)..

So now its all working good besides the small things i mentioned in my post above, i have attached photos earlier, its bout "unattended" tab and the theme tab

Swedish translation for 7Customizer 0.4.3 made by me grabben (Andreas).

Textfile with link to swedish translation has been attached.

Note that the translation isnt 100 complete but most of it, just some parts in tweaksection that needs a closer look.

Perhaps a swedish user can translate it ?

Yes this is already planned. See the first post.

@ myselfidem

I see that cacls don't work, maybe you can try icacls:

Why it is not working?. I have tried it and it is working fine.

And there is the same message in command prompt: Themes already exists.

Ignore this message. This message just to make sure that the themes folder is there.

@ grabben

Edit2: Can u make it able to translate "language" at the top just like "file", "help" etc ?

OK. I will add it in the next release.

@ mrookie

Yeah it is better to fix the problems and release a new version. Also, I usually wait for feedback before releasing new features.

Hi Blue,

was thinking about what would be good to have in your program and thought

System Branding - add your own branding picture and support information options:

'custom' and 'oem' to Integrate OEM information combine an app called key-cert-branding to 'add OEM branding' or maybe just use a script thats run when windows has sucessfully installed that copies the oem files such as png images and a .reg oem information file that gets run

combo button 'Install ms-WHQL drivers only' or 'install all drivers (forced)'

I Forced Unsigned drivers when using dism with command /forceunsigned i was able to install all driver infs without any errors

Anyway just a few suggestions

Isn't it the OEM cert you mentioned before?. Anyways, what I can do is add some thing to put your own oem info only. I think OEM cert is used to crack win7 right?.

combo button 'Install ms-WHQL drivers only' or 'install all drivers (forced)'

I Forced Unsigned drivers when using dism with command /forceunsigned i was able to install all driver infs without any errors

7Customizer force unsigned drivers automatically. I do not think it is necessary to put this option unless people ask for it then I will put it.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Hi Blue,

The oem cert comes with systems pre-activated by maufacturers such as dell, hp etc etc

and some people back them up along with their key so that they can re-install the os without all the junk apps they usually include

The oem branding just add the support information of the manufacturer along with a logo in your system properties

Hi Blue4603

first of all thanks for your very useful program....

I've tried even R7 lite but for me it's too heavy and slow than 7customizer...but it' has some fetures such as possibility to remove many parts in windows7 as Tablet Pc ,languages, and many more ...

Do you think in future it could be possible even with your program..?
