Or you could search for a string that appears in every BIOS.

[SM]
CMD=".\PromptForChange.exe"

Trying this on WinXP Home

I have PromptKey.vbs in the same place as oemscan.exe/ini. (1.3.1)

I have this in oemscan.ini

[SM]
CMD=".\PromptKey.vbs"

Written at the end of oemscan.ini.

When I test it it say's;

Matched: SM

Running: PromptKey.vbs : Failed

I have tried to run a cmd file instead(test.cmd)...no go.

Why on :realmad: does it do that?

If I run PromptKey.vbs, it works.

In real life on a Dell pc it workes perfect.....

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Update

Sorry about this. The problem seems to be more complexed.

The CMD="" thing does not work at all, it worked like a charm earlier today, but not now.

I copied the hole oemscan directory over to another PC and tested there, but it does not work.

Same error : Failed.

Any ideas?

OEMSCAN uses the CreateProcess API to execute whatever is in the string.

PromptKey.vbs isn't an executable file, it’s a script. You need to run the interpreter wscript which will parse/run the script.

[SM]
CMD="wscript PromptKey.vbs"

I'm not sure when you're running PromptKey.vbs, but if it's during Windows setup you'll need to use cscript as wscript is not available yet.

Don’t know what to tell you, during what part of setup are you running oemscan.exe and secondly does it also fail if you run oemscan after the install is finished?

Ok, I will try to show you! Thank you for your respond :hello:

This is my

oemscan.ini

;
;	Fujitsu Siemens OEMBIOS Files
;	SLP = Fujitsu Siemens
;
[FUJITSU SIEMENS]
PATH=".\FUJITSU\"
RANGE=""
MATCHARG=""
CMD=".\FUJITSU\OEMCOPY.CMD"

;
;	ASUS_FLASH OEMBIOS Files
;	SLP = ASUS_FLASH
;
[ASUS_FLASH]
PATH=".\ASUS_FLASH\"
RANGE=""
MATCHARG=""
CMD=".\ASUS_FLASH\OEMCOPY.CMD"



[SM]
CMD=".\cscript PromptKey.vbs"
;CMD=".\test.cmd"

This is my

cmdlines.txt

[COMMANDS]

"useraccounts.cmd" 

"RunOnceEx.cmd"

"./HomePreaktiver/oemscan.exe"

I have used this on sevral diff. PC's, but not with this part;

[SM]
CMD=".\cscript PromptKey.vbs"

I wanted to test it firts on Microsoft Virtual PC, and the [sM] trigs OK but the <<CMD=".\cscript PromptKey.vbs">> goes : FAILED.

It does not matter if I run the oemscan.exe durin install (cmdlines.txt) or from the desktop, after instal.

If I change

<<CMD=".\cscript PromptKey.vbs">>

To

CMD=".\test.cmd"

The result is the same : FAILED

This is my

test.cmd

Pause

Iam trying to prompt for changing the XP key if there is no match.

Is there another way tho promt the user to change the XP key, if oemscan doesen't do it's "thing"?

To

CMD=".\test.cmd"

commands are ok, have you placed promptkey.vbs and test.cmd in the right place? (same dir as oemscan.exe)

Yes, i have :whistle:

If I run;

oemscan.exe /d

I get ;

Matched: SM

Running: PromptKey.vbs : Failed

or with test.cmd in oemscan.ini;

Matched: SM

Running: test.cmd : Failed

duh... :whistle:

remove the /d switch

The /d just makes oemscan show you what happens...right?

Or does it change how it works...... :}

Update

I tried it just running oemscan.exe...........success :thumbup

I have more grey hair now :blushing:

Thanks to the ones who helped me!!

Haven't really checked on this thread since i wrote those (modified the official microsoft) scripts...

What's the consensus? do they work? If so, i'll do a little more work and get some basic error checking and looping in em
