Im wondering if ANYONE here can point me in the right direction. NOONE is talking over at TeamOS even tho I know they know how to do it. Anywho, I need to edit the strings for a build, and I know it can be done because I see it with my own eyes when certain people make a build. I have looked thru almost EVERY .DLL file that comes on a windows ISO and cant find it, looked through the registry with same result. ANY assistance would be awesome! Here is what WE all have... http://prntscr.com/1mi5yg2 Here is HOW I want to change... http://prntscr.com/1mi5cd2
Mod'ing .dll files was fun back in the days, but with win 10 and not much help with 'theme'/s' there really is no purpose, unless you are hell bent on doing it . I can not even get a good theme for LTSC ...
I recommend you extract the modded OS with grim in it and use UltraEdit to do a complete string search of .exe then .DLL then .inf and .XML files. My ideas is he's changed the vendor information and if you find where he did this you can copy them and change as you wish... As stated, it isn't worth spending too long on cosmetics like this one as most people don't read or care what the installer says, so long as it works.
Just to complete the answer, I "finally" got it. The file is: msoobeFirstLogonAnim.dll.mui Located in: C:\Windows\System32\oobe\EN-US You have take ownership of the file and move the file to desktop to edit it. When edited, just replace back into folder, THEN run your FINALIZE SYSPREP. I take ownership with Right Click Enhancer, but Im sure you all have your own ways. I use Resource Hacker to edit the DLL files and recompile them. http://prntscr.com/1n3mh82 http://prntscr.com/1n3muvl
Thanks for sharing your solution and glad you found what you were looking for. I did laugh at the edits BTW.
Copy all files out to a folder and then mod them, then add them back to the same folder/s, then, do a test run c what breaks. Repeat.
Did exactly that. It worked decently, but there were a few that didnt register, but I found OTHER DLL files that had the strings in it, am playing with them now. But, yeah, it was successful.
