Windows 7 EULA Popup RRS feed

  • Question

  • Hi,

    I need to display EULA popup inside the window (not by running MSOOBE or Sysprpe /OOBE). I can not use the OOBE in this case.
    Requirement is when machine starts first it shows EULA and then give access to system. Is it possible?

  • You could download the actually EULA from Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/About/Legal/EN/US/IntellectualProperty/UseTerms/Default.aspx

    And then display it using the runonce method. You could also look for license.rtf on the local client and display that or the EULA that is included on the Windows 7 DVD. Either options will allow you to disable the EULA.

    Any reason in particular you are not able to use sysprep?

  • Group Policy will display the message only once. 

    If you are looking for a custom Eula that is usually included in the application and controlled through a registry key.  It is under the control of the application and cannot be changed or set through scripting.

    Post you issue in the Developers forum for more information on how to design your program to do this.

    You can aslo add a program to the RunOnce key and it will be executed the first time the user logs in then it will not dispaly again.  I believe the same works for teh KKLM RunOnce key.

    You are asking about the Group Policy logon message which will display each time the user log into a system.

    This is not a scripting issue.  Post in the Windows Server forum for further assistance with Group Policy.
