Remove 3683 Timebomb Manually

[giantsteen]

I want to remove the 3683 timebomb before installation (like in the iso) because I am editing it. Which files need to be edited and what do I need to do? Can i also get rid of the need to change the BIOS date?

Something in SETUPREG.HIV, IIRC.

Mount i386\setupreg.hiv to HKLM\MyHive
Edit HKLM\MyHive\ControlSet001\Services\setupdd to set default parameter:
@=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
This will work.

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MyHive\ControlSet001\Services\setupdd]
@=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00

Maybe it's better to open CurrentControlSet instead of ControlSet001, because it might be also 002, 003... CurrentControlSet is not an actual Registry Directory, it's a link to your actual control set.

Looks like you never mount offline hives.
CurrentControlSet view exists only in online registry.

because it might be also 002, 003

In setupreg.hiv? LOL LOL LOL

Yes, I did. It was there. I don't know.

[giantsteen]

does it remove bios time or timebomb?

[hb860]

It removes only timebomb
You still have to set bios date back or uyes fake setup binary with will do it for you. You can compile it by yourself with delphi/op or c++.
