Windows 7 RTM Activation Crack : Live in the Wild

Vinay — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 13:52:03 +0000

Windows 7 RTM Activation is hacked for keyless activation, this time it doesn’t require an OEM key at all, and instead bypasses the verification DLL completely. Mydigitalife posted a complete how to on this hack, RemoveWAT or Chew-WGA “Bypass Activate” Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 Forever (Loader Alternative to Remove & Disable Activation Technologies). This crack method is an alternative to BIOS loader and OEMBIOS mod, which effectively bypass the activation requirement of the installed Windows7 system, by removing and disabling Windows Activation Technologies (WAT).

The new hack bypass the sppcompai.dll, and even deactivates all the reminder popups that would otherwise ask you to activate indefinitely. By so nullifying sppcompai.dll disables all activation and licensing related functions. According to MDL the crack is possible probably due to leniency allowed on the part of Microsoft on activation mechanism to avoid getting too many false-positive or complaint on activation error. In the mean time hacker teams released their workarounds for example RemoveWAT and Chew-WGA are available in the wild.

RemoveWAT : RemoveWAT, developed by Hazar and nononsence, it is a tiny utility to remove WAT (Windows Activation Technologies) completely from the OS, whilst still retaining genuine status and receiving all updates (optional as well). You can also pass the genuine check in things like Windows Defender. RemoveWAT supports both 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) and all editions of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.

Windows PowerShell 2.0 & Windows 7

Vinay — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 15:53:05 +0000

Powershell is a command-line shell utility and associated with scripting language from Microsoft. Power Shell supports Windows XP SP2/SP3, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008. The latest version of PowerShell is Windows PowerShell 2.0 released with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. Microsoft Windows PowerShell is a new command-line shell and scripting language designed for system administration and automation. Built on the .NET Framework, Windows PowerShell enables IT professionals and developers to control and automate the administration of Windows and applications.

Remote management : You can run commands on one computer or hundreds of computers with a single command. You can establish an interactive session with a single computer. And, you can establish a session that can receive remote commands from multiple computers.

New cmdlets : Cmdlets are specialized commands in the PowerShell environment that implement specific functions. These are the native commands in the PowerShell stack. Windows PowerShell includes more than 100 new cmdlets, including Get-Hotfix, Send-Mail Message, Get-Computer Restore Point, New-Web Service Proxy, Debug-Process, Add-Computer, Rename-Computer, Reset-Computer Machine Password, and Get-Random.

Modules : Windows PowerShell modules let you organize your Windows PowerShell scripts and functions into independent, self-contained units. You can package your cmdlets, providers, scripts, functions, and other files into modules that you can distribute to other users. Modules are easier for users to install and use than Windows PowerShell snap-ins. Modules can include any type of file, including audio files, images, Help files, and icons. Modules run in a separate session to avoid name conflicts.

Windows PowerShell Integrated Scripting Environment (ISE) : Windows PowerShell ISE is a graphical user interface for Windows PowerShell that lets you run commands, and write, edit, run, test, and debug scripts in the same window. It offers up to eight independent execution environments and includes a built-in debugger, multiline editing, selective execution, syntax colors, line and column numbers, and context-sensitive Help.

Events : Windows PowerShell includes a new event infrastructure that lets you create events, subscribe to system and application events, and then listen, forward, and act on the events synchronously and asynchronously.

Advanced functions : Advanced functions behave just like cmdlets, but they are written in the Windows PowerShell scripting language instead of in C#.

Script internationalization : Scripts and functions can display messages and Help text to users in multiple languages.

Background jobs : With Windows PowerShell background jobs, you can run commands asynchronously and “in the background” so you can continue to work in your session. You can run background jobs on a local or remote computer, and you can store the results locally or remotely.

Debugger : The Windows PowerShell debugger can help you debug functions and scripts. You can set and remove breakpoints, step through code, check the values of variables, and display a call-stack trace.

Transactions : Windows PowerShell now supports transactions, which let you manage a set of commands as a logical unit. A transaction can be committed, or it can be completely undone so that the affected data is not changed by the transaction.

How to install Windows 7 on a virtual hard disk (VHD)

Vinay — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 19:08:41 +0000

If You want to test Windows 7, without impacting your current installation of Windows XP or Vista on your desktop? A possible solution is: Boot from VHD. Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) Image Format trained to deploy in the real and virtual environments without the need to install the system on a real disk partition HDD.The convenience of such virtual VHD images is the rapid deployment of virtual environments as well as isolated systems, with possible direct download from Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) images. Installing fro VHD is always a pain but still you can review this excellent post originally written by MasterMind from TechArena.

1. Befor getting started back up your data to avoid any risk
2. Free up space on your physical disk to be at least 6 GB of free space (to allow more applications to be installed / tested later)
3. Restart your system from the installation DVD of Windows 7
4. Instead of proceeding with the installation, choose “Repair”

5. The setup program offers to repair the system, this has no impact because we do not really fix the current system. Select the version of Windows currently installed.

6. Among the options, select Command Prompt.

7. We will then create a virtual disk (*. vhd) and then install Windows 7, using the utility Diskpart.exe, monitoring of the following commands to create a virtual disk.

create vdisk file = c: \ vhd \ \ win7beta.vhd max = 32000
select vdisk file = c: \ vhd \ win7beta.vhd
attach vdisk
exit

Vdisk create command file = “xxx” maximum = yyy can set the size of your virtual disk. Allow enough space for

your applications. In the example, I chose to create a virtual disk represented by c: \ win7beta.vhd size of 32 GB. The command attach vdisk, preceded by select vdisk file = xxx is used to mount your virtual disk to physical disk.

8. Then the Windows Setup program by typing setup.exe 7.

9. Take the home screen, select language and keyboard and user license (EULA). Then proceed to installation mode Custom (Advanced).

10. Windows will then display a selection screen of the destination disk for the new facility. Select the newly created virtual drive (you find in relation to the size set with the command create vdisk file = “xxx” yyy = maximum, 32 GB in the example), then click Next.

The setup continues as normal, and you managed your installation of Windows 7 VHD on a disc!
