Multi OEM Retail Project is not a new concept; it has been around since 2016, developed by mxman2k from My Digital Life Forums. It is based on the idea of using a $oem$ folder in the sources folder of your Windows installation media to inject OEM information during setup. This method is supported by Microsoft and does not violate any license terms. However, Multi OEM Retail Project takes this method to a new level by adding more features, options, tools, and updates to make it more user-friendly and versatile.
In this article, we will explain how Multi OEM Retail Project works, how to use it, what are its benefits and limitations, how to troubleshoot it, and where to get more information. By the end of this article, you will have a better understanding of this project and how it can help you customize your Windows installation.
How does Multi OEM Retail Project work?
Multi OEM Retail Project works by using a $oem$ folder that contains various files and scripts that are executed during Windows setup. These files and scripts are responsible for applying the OEM branding and activation to your Windows installation. Let's take a closer look at the previous part of the article and continue writing it. look at the previous part of the article and continue writing it.
closer look at how this process works and what are the requirements and options for using Multi OEM Retail Project.
The $oem$ method and how it applies manufacturer brand to Windows ISO/USB
The $oem$ method is a technique that allows you to add custom files and folders to your Windows installation media, such as drivers, wallpapers, themes, registry entries, scripts, and more. These files and folders are placed in a special folder named $oem$ in the sources folder of your Windows ISO or USB drive. When you install Windows from this media, the setup program will copy the contents of the $oem$ folder to the system drive and execute any scripts that are present in it. This way, you can customize your Windows installation with your own preferences and settings.
Multi OEM Retail Project uses the $oem$ method to apply manufacturer brand to your Windows installation. It does this by creating a subfolder named $1 in the $oem$ folder, which contains another subfolder named OEM. The OEM folder contains various files that are related to the OEM branding, such as logo.bmp, oobe.xml, oeminfo.ini, oemlogo.ico, product.ini, serial.txt, wallpaper.jpg, and more. These files are copied to the system drive during setup and are used to display the OEM information on your Windows desktop, system properties, activation screen, and other places. For example, logo.bmp is used as the background image for the OEM information screen, oobe.xml is used to customize the out-of-box experience (OOBE) settings, oeminfo.ini is used to show the OEM name and support information on the system properties dialog box, oemlogo.ico is used as the icon for the OEM information screen, product.ini is used to store the product key for activation, serial.txt is used to store the serial number for identification, wallpaper.jpg is used as the desktop wallpaper, and so on.
Multi OEM Retail Project also creates another subfolder named $$ in the $oem$ folder, which contains another subfolder named Setup. The Setup folder contains various scripts that are executed during setup, such as SetupComplete.cmd, FirstLogon.cmd, Auto.cmd, and more. These scripts are responsible for applying the OEM activation to your Windows installation. They do this by checking the brand of your computer or motherboard, finding the matching product key from the project folder, injecting it into the registry or BIOS, and activating Windows online or offline. For example, SetupComplete.cmd is executed at the end of setup and runs Auto.cmd, which detects your brand and edition of Windows and runs the appropriate script for activation. FirstLogon.cmd is executed at the first logon of Windows and runs Auto.cmd again in case of any errors or failures during setup.
The supported brands, editions, and modes for OEM activation
Multi OEM Retail Project supports over 150 brands for OEM branding and activation. You can find the list of supported brands in the Brands.txt file in the project folder. You can also add your own brand by creating a subfolder with your brand name in the OEM folder and adding your own files and scripts. However, you need to make sure that your brand name matches the manufacturer name in your BIOS or motherboard.
Multi OEM Retail Project supports all editions of Windows 10 (Home, Pro, Education, Enterprise), Windows 8.1 (Core, Pro), Windows 8 (Core, Pro), Windows 7 (Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional, Ultimate), Windows Vista (Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, Ultimate), and Windows XP (Home, Professional). You can find the list of supported editions in the Editions.txt file in the project folder. You can also edit this file to add or remove any editions that you want or don't want to use.
Multi OEM Retail Project supports three modes for OEM activation: BIOS, SLIC, and Key. BIOS mode is the default mode and it works by injecting the product key into the BIOS or motherboard of your computer. This mode requires that your computer or motherboard has a valid SLIC (Software Licensing Description Table) certificate for Windows activation. SLIC mode is similar to BIOS mode, but it works by injecting the SLIC certificate into the boot sector of your Windows installation media. This mode requires that your Windows installation media has a valid boot sector for Windows activation. Key mode is the alternative mode and it works by injecting the product key into the registry of your Windows installation. This mode does not require any SLIC certificate or boot sector, but it may not work with some brands or editions of Windows. You can choose the mode that you want to use by editing the Mode.txt file in the project folder.

Prepare your Windows ISO or USB drive that you want to use for installation. You can use any official or untouched ISO or USB drive from Microsoft or any other source.

If you want to customize your OEM branding, you can edit the files in the $oem$ folder according to your preferences. For example, you can change the logo.bmp file to use a different image for the OEM information screen, or you can change the oeminfo.ini file to show a different name and support information for your OEM.

You can do this by choosing File > Save As and choosing a destination folder and a file name for your new ISO file.
