Topic: From a torrent I found...

[devnullius]

Posted for the red part... I often face the problem that I download an xyz Windows distro with torrents, trying to repair upgrade an existing, troubled, installation. More often than not, upgrade is disabled; only 'fresh'-ish repairs are possible (Windows 8.x). I always thought that was because of the way those warez versions were build. I might have been wrong; maybe all that's needed to give those warez builds full repair upgrade options, is simply removing this little file...? I'm gonna keep an eye out ;-)

PS: still looking for a decent FREE ISO editor... The one I posted before on SCF isn't that nice to work with... ;p

Features:
-Windows 8.1 Update 1 16610 build (wzt msu leak)
-Non-Activated and Pre-Activated indexes. Take your pick.*
*Uses custom KMS folder in Windows directory. I've included the uninstall
script if you want to use a different activator later
-Highly Compressed install.esd recovery compression format.
-DaRT 8.1 integrated into boot.wim recovery options. Choose Repair
your computer, Troubleshoot, then MS DaRT options to open. Features
include an offline defender a/v scanner, password reset tool, registry
editor, offline hotfix removal, system file checker, and many more.

Notes:
-All indexes use original MSDN 9/9 Win8.1 isos with integrated hotfixes.
-Added ei.cfg to sources\ directory. You *HAVE* to extract the iso and
delete the file if you want to upgrade from a previous version of
Windows. Use the win81-pkeys.txt on the ISO for install keys.
-This version uses qad's v6 KMS server service build with integrated
WinDivert functionality from Windivert 1.1.1 WDDK.
-Seems to fix the rare occasional setup bug where setup stops at 95 or 97%
I modified my export to esd method to include extra integrity check data.

Now I see that it doesn't support DVDs...

Maybe you'll have better luck with any of these two:

- ISO Workshop: http://www.glorylogic.com/iso-workshop.html

- MagicISO: http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-magicdisc-overview.htm

MagicISO must be commercial license for > 300 MB images
I'll keep ISO workshop for its conversion capabilities. But again, does not allow for editing existing iso images :/
