OEMSCAN_ADDON_MULTIOEM v1.61

[mr_smartepants]

Yeah, right now I have it as a single addon. If the "Logos" subfolders (they're labeled exactly as oemscan detects them) are empty, you'll get some "file not found" errors but it won't adversely affect anything.
The problem (and I'll need feedback to fix this) is that the folders need to be named EXACTLY as oemscan detects the system. I've preloaded the addon with the folders as they're listed on oembios.net but only field-tests will prove it works. I'm polishing it up and removing all my testing comments out of the code, then I'll upload tonight.

I would just tell everyone to put in a generic logo (or place in a logo of our own as a placeholder) so the error never occurs. Those that want to change it can, and others can leave it or blank it out knowing there will be an error.

Sounds awesome!

For debugging purposes, does anyone know how to dump the contents of the command window to a .txt file? I can do it with a vbs script, but I want a command I can put at the beginning of the .cmd file to output the whole session to .txt for problem solving here.

Almost done with the addon...

@Siginet, can you email me with acct info to upload to your addon server? So I don't have to attach it to a post.

Hi Mr_Smartepants..
i hope you can guide me into the right path ...
i have compiled approximately 5 or 6 ISOs already ..
tested all 5 or 6 on VMware .. all stating the Key is incorrect mid-way during install.. and when i try to enter the OEM-SLP key.. it refuses it .. leading me to believe OEMSCAN is not functioning/installing the OEMBIOS files ..

Now.. when i install a single OEM Disc on Vmware .. it works .. i have HP-COMPAQ BIOS ..

F.Y.I
I have set up 89 different OEM Manufacturers.. do you think this is the problem? i am also using the CRC as the identifiers.. which i am following the template you have setup in OEMSCAN.ini ..

here are a few screenshots:


The names in red are descriptors only? or do they serve a purpose?


NOTE:
when i integrate with RVM .. there are no errors ..

here is the RVM log:

That's your problem. This addon is for OEM versions only, NOT retail.

That's your problem. This addon is for OEM versions only, NOT retail.

i am using "Retail" version but using your "addon" to make it OEM ?

EDIT:
N/M i think i understand what you are saying i took a look through my Single OEM Discs and found the differences ..

Thank you all so very much...
I don't know if I can learn all this but,
Might as well try...
Many Thanks
