OEMSCAN_ADDON_MULTIOEM v1.8

[mr_smartepants]

This is a major update to my previous multioem addon. Like before, it is modular and expandable to your needs.
Significant script code improvements. Script now compiled into .exe with x86/x64 source compatibility and logging functionality! It also now has multiple checks and cross-checks to prevent misuse with pirated/tainted sources. I've tested extensively with legal OEM versions of x86 XP Home/Pro/MCE as well as x86 Server 2003 Standard and all activated flawlessly.
This will not activate any Retail or VLK sources! OEM SLP only.
This addon does NOT include any OEMBIOS.* files to keep the filesize down (although empty placeholders are included to show you where to place them). OEMBIOS files can be downloaded for your OEM systems from http://www.oembios.net.
OEMBIOS filesets are different between XP and 2003, be sure you put the correct fileset in the right folders. XP OEMBIOS files go in the \FILESETS\XP\blah\ directories. 2003 server OEMBIOS files go in the \FILESETS\2003\blah\ directories.

Here's a quote from xehqter:

Windows XP and Windows 2003 OEMBIOS files use a different key to encrypt the data, file sets aren’t compatible.

This addon also does not include any SLP product keys, you must provide your own SLP key. Do NOT ask for us to give you a key as that is against forum rules and the law in some countries. In this addon, the SLP key is represented by the string 11111-22222-33333-44444-55555.

I've tried to simplify this addon so that the only files you need to edit are the oemscan.ini file for each OS type (Home, Pro, MCE, W2k3) to add your keys and add your OEMBIOS.* files...that's it!
This addon should be 100% compatible with single-disc as well as multi-OS/multi-boot PowerPacker integrations. You do NOT need to specify a product key in WINNT.SIF, in fact any key that is present will be overwritten if a matching OEMBIOS fileset is used on the PC. This addon does NOT use the $OEM$ directory, but uses the OEM directory instead to make it compatible with PowerPacker.

OK, to customize your multioem addon, start by downloading the addon from this post.
(in the below instructions, just substitute "Sony Corporation" with your OEM name.
1. Decompress the addon to your desktop or other working directory.
2. Download all of the OEMBIOS files you will need from http://www.oembios.net (eg. 376E13C7 for "Sony Corporation")
3. Gather your SLP keys (do NOT ask here for these!).
4. In the addon, go to the FILESETS folder and open the folder using the same name as listed on the OEMBIOS.net website (eg. \FILESETS\XP\376E13C7)
5. Add the four decompressed OEMBIOS.* (bin, sig, dat, cat) files you downloaded to the Sony folder you just made (XP filesets go in FILESETS\XP\*, 2003 filesets go in FILESETS\2003\*.)
6. (OPTIONAL) Add any OEM logo files to the \Logos\blah\ folders (check the "readme.txt" file in each folder. See the \Logos\AcerSystem\ folder for a good example of the proper layout. A few can be downloaded from here: http://www.oemlogos.siginetsoftware.com/
7. Open the oemscan.ini file in the appropriate OS type folder (IE. KEYS\XP\XP_HOME for Home) with Notepad and make the following changes:
8. In the .ini text, change the CMD function as so:

[Sony Corporation]
PATH="..\..\..\FILESETS\XP\376E13C7\"
CMD="SetKey 11111-22222-33333-44444-55555"

9. Change the fake SLP key with your legitimate one (remember, different OS types require different product keys so you can't use a XP Pro key to activate a XP Home install).
10. Save and close the oemscan.ini file.
11. Recompress the Entries_OEMScan_MULTIOEM.ini file and all the folders with 7zip into a single archive so that it has the filename OEMSCAN_1.4.1_MR_SMARTEPANTS_ADDON_MULTIOEM_1.8x.7 z.
12. Integrate this addon using Siginet's RVMIntegrator only. Do NOT use nLite.
13. Enjoy.

You can see in the oemscan.ini where I have different variations of Acer, Dell, and Gateway. You can use a similar approach for other OEM makes as well if I missed any.

Integration instructions
1. Start with a clean UNBRANDED OEM CD (MSDN-OEM or System Builder OEM discs will do).
2. Integrate your favorite updatepacks/addons with either nlite or RVMI, your choice.
3. In a separate session, integrate this addon with ONLY RVMI.
4. DriverPacks, if desired, go last.
5. Build ISO.

Known issues:
1) For best results, integrate this addon AFTER nLite and with RVMI and separately from any updatepack integration to ensure all files are edited properly.
nLite will not integrate this addon properly because of the unsupported [DirMove] section; unless a new version of nLite is released that supports that function.
Also, because this addon modifies i386\winnt.sif, and nLite will overwrite winnt.sif if found, it's vital to run this addon AFTER nLite to preserve the added sections.
2) This addon will make additional entries to winnt.sif.
The following lines are added to winnt.sif:

[Data]
    AutoPartition=0
    MsDosInitiated=0
    UnattendedInstall="Yes"

Thanks go out to xehqter, FreeStyler and Siginet for providing both the tools and inspiration for this project (my wife hates you all )
They made the tools, I just repackaged them into a more usable form.

Tell your wife I am sorry!

My wife hates all of you too! LOL!

Glad you got this released... now I am gonna test the $h!t out of it.

Woops... guess I got in here too soon. I don't see a link to it.

It is now removed because of pirate abuse. I do NOT want to be associated with warez.

[Siginet]

OK... I took a quick lookover. Let's say I create a Multiboot 2k3 disk with Standard, Enterprise, and Web editions. Is it possible to use this? I don't see a way to add different product keys for all of them?

[mr_smartepants]

You're partially correct. For now, there is a single w2k3 oemscan.ini to house the keys.
I used the w2k3 PIDs id'd on this site: http://wiki.lunarsoft.net/wiki/Product_IDs
I could only find 4 disc identifiers for w2k3 (from the discs in my possession and from the web).
%CDROM%\win51aa
%CDROM%\win51ia
%CDROM%\win51ib
%CDROM%\win51is

Are there different keys between the subversions? (standard/enterprise/etc)?
This is easily corrected in the batchfile by adding more discriminators but I need info on each version (setupp.ini PID/disc id).

Something isn't right here, I can not install windows after slipstreaming you pack with RVM Intergrator.

Log Shutdown @ 09:55:50 On 22-01-2009

Here is the error I get - *see attachment*

I have been running into this recently and I don't know why.

XP Pro SP2 intergrated (untouched otherwise)
OEMSCAN 1.4.1 Addon (just modified the .ini files for proper slp keys and added oembios files)

Any ideas?

[mr_smartepants]

Wow, that's a new one on me. Looks to me like your source is borked.
What is your OEM source? Is it from an OEM distributor like Dell/HP/etc with it's own $OEM$ & OEM folders? Or is it a clean system-builder OEM disc?
Can you post the contents of your \i386\setupp.ini & winnt.sif files?
The oemscan.cmd file isn't even launching which makes me suspect something else.
So you take this disc and ONLY integrate my addon? No updatepacks, no nlite tweaks?

*Edit
Crap, I found a bug in the entries.ini that Siginet referenced above. The Win2k3 directories don't get copied by RVMI. The fault only affects Win2k3 integrations.

[SSX4life]

It's a clean install with a fresh oem source that has SP2 slipstreamed (not from dell / hp / etc.).

I have an .md5 and .sfv of the .iso I am using.

Here is the setupp.ini and winnt.sif (I had to zip the .sif)

I typically modify my winnt.sif file extensivly but due to the errors I have been running without it.


Let me delete my .iso's and re verify them on my box.

[SSX4life]

Both .iso's were verified to be complete. I am trying again from scratch to see if it was a fluke.


1. Re-downloaded the latest .7z of oemscan
2. Reimported the XPH / XPP / XPMCE .ini's that include the SLP Keys
3. Reinserted the oembios files
4. Inserted oemlogo.bmp / oeminfo.ini to the proper folders
5. Re-zipped the files with .7z
6. Ran RVM_Integrator_1.5.3
7. Did not run any update pack / modifications / etc (it's straight SP2 slipstreamed... trying to remove possible problems)
8. Ran the .7z of oemscan
9. Made .iso
10. Threw the .iso into VMware and got the same error message! >_<

I did some digging and ran into this - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/238835

I'm gonna try to add that data tag and see what I get

[SSX4life]

Yup that was the problem ^_^

I also noticed your script removes the previous winnt.sif file in place. Not sure if this was intended but it was just my experience.

Here is my final Winnt.sif

Thanks for all the hard work on this, I think we have reached a nice completed script that does just about everything you can think of. The only other thing that needs to be done is make a Tablet version of this (I don't think you can do a multioem, so we may need to modify the pre-existing 1.4 model to run on tablet. I've gotten it to work with 1.4 and a custom winnt.sif call file.

I'll let you know how it goes ^_^
