  1. Well Im part of the way there...

    Added to the top of Go.bat and used your recommendation to bypass Vista operation

    Ver | find "6.0" > nul
    IF %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 (
        ECHO ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> %log% 2>&1
        ECHO +----------------------------------+ >> %log% 2>&1
        ECHO +  [OS: Vista Payload Disabled]    + >> %log% 2>&1
        ECHO +----------------------------------+ >> %log% 2>&1
            GOTO END
        )
    
    IF EXIST C:Safety.dat (
        ECHO ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> %log% 2>&1
        ECHO +----------------------------------+ >> %log% 2>&1
        ECHO +       [System Protected]         + >> %log% 2>&1
        ECHO +----------------------------------+ >> %log% 2>&1
            GOTO END
        )

    And altered the last entry:

    IF EXIST %systemroot%system32wpa.dbl (
        ECHO ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> %log% 2>&1
        ECHO +----------------------------------+ >> %log% 2>&1
        ECHO +      [XP Activation Located]     + >> %log% 2>&1
        ECHO +----------------------------------+ >> %log% 2>&1
            MD "%logdir%"XP-Activation
            COPY /Y %systemroot%system32wpa.dbl "%logdir%"XP-Activation
        )
    
    :End

  2. Here is what I am curious about and I didt put this in G's thread since its off his support.

    I'd like to be able to have conditional operation on insert..

    By example:

    If exists C:Safety GOTO END   <-- to prevent accidental operation

    &&

    Is there a way to confirm the OS? ( IF %OS% !=XP GOTO END )  <-- yes I know its not correct, is off the top of my head as an example

    Also maybe back up lisc.(If XP condition is met)

    Copy /Y %SystemRoot%System32wpa.* %logdir%

    Scratch I just added to the bottom of Go.bat

    IF EXISTS %SystemRoot%System32wpa.dbl (
        ECHO ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- &gt;&gt; %log% 2&gt;&amp;1
        ECHO +----------------------------------+ &gt;&gt; %log% 2&gt;&amp;1
        ECHO +         [XP Lisc Located]        + &gt;&gt; %log% 2&gt;&amp;1
        ECHO +----------------------------------+ &gt;&gt; %log% 2&gt;&amp;1
            COPY /Y %SystemRoot%System32wpa.dbl %logpath%
        )

  3. Well durring initial activation/running if its shut off and the payload runs and then reenables it would seem as though nothing had happened to cause it to go off (once apps are in startup for vista and installed it doesnt really sound off constantly).

    So the trick would be disable, payload, enable since one asumes the system is up and running when the drive is inserted and the user is waiting for a driver load to happen. But I have a tri-boot system here so when you get the XP side going and want a VIsta dry run I'll be more than happy to help out if I can.

  4. Per MSConfig:

    Disable UAC (Requires Reboot): C:WindowsSystem32cmd.exe /k %windir%System32reg.exe ADD HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

    Enable UAC (Requires Reboot): C:WindowsSystem32cmd.exe /k %windir%System32reg.exe ADD HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

    Of course there is also a trojan method but Ive never tried it: Link

    Of course there is also a "run as administrator" option but I cant validate that.

  5. The typical used uses UAC for @ 20 minutes (my previous employer was a large computer manufacturer) and 90% of the calls in the first month Vista hot was how to disable it in the MSConfig options because they were tired of it asking for every little thing.

  6. I downloaded.. I installed... I messed up. It stalls with wscript in task manager and sits there (if I try and run payload.vbs I get 'error 3 cannot find the path specified'  *where exactly does payload.ini go? I assume flash partition /SRC/payload.ini

    If at first you dont succeed, hak hak again. I think this needs the kill switch though (if safety.txt in C goto end). But maybe I'll get it working today.. Also, since your creating you html output could you goose this thing to make a copy of the wpl files in the folder (windows activation *if OS == WindowsXP not sure how that would work)? And make the path for the log changeable (to documents folder or something I wouldnt have to dive into hidden folders to find).

    Just my 2 cents

    I did find out I needed to update the stock launchpad to get Vista compatibility... but that doesnt count twords this

    Yet another update... why are there shortcuts for sbs and sbs2 (pointing to openssh and a path to the desktop)

  7. Suggested addition (as I normally overhaul XP based systems) add to the autorun so that it backs up the windows activation files and attaches to an email *when used). Then before I overhaul one I could just jack in the USB and kill the system and have the logs and whatnot all there for my reinstall.

    Ex: Go to your _:WINDOWSSystem32 and find a file called "wpa.dbl" and "wpa.bak" back those files up to a floppy, CD or whatever you want to put it on.

    When you want to restore these files go into safe mode and put them into your windowssystem32 directory. When you reboot you should be activated without actually going through MS :)

  8. If I could just get around th av issue it would be perfect. Also I have been wandering about the code.. I noticed one of the otehr projects had the run disabled if "safety.txt was on the C drive (goto end) and I cant see that anywhere in the code (or am I missing it) hold in mind guys Im just getting the hang of this.

  9. So, I was given this sucker.

    Now here is the rub.. It was U3 (seperate partition) but when its plugged in I just get the light blinking (on/off/on/off) and the PC sees the damn thing but wont let me copy to it at all (It can be opened as a media device but that is useless) so my question is... the universal customizer doesnt see the thing so is ther a hardware fix (shorting connectors) or something I can do to get it going?

    Sucker is 2G and would be a terrible waste to pitch it and have to blow money on a project drive to play with this...
