Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows 7 SP1 ISO. It comes with a new wallpaper and some programs, among other things. This mod is a fork of a The Rain bootleg.

During the OOBE finalization portion, it will first set its foreground color to lime green (of course), then it will set the columns and lines to 67 and 20, and set its title to Windows 7 - BossKanae Sys Registry Tweaks @ 2015. Afterwards it will detect what CD it's on by checking drive letters D-Z and setting a CDROM variable to it, which is never used. Then it will apply registry tweaks and install a new boot screen which is applied with Windows 7 Boot Screen Updater. Finally, it will hide itself using cmdow and attempt to delete the scripts directory.

The ISO was made using WinToolkit 1.5.3.12 and WinReducer 7 version 3.2.5.0. The OS base used for this mod was made in RT 7 Lite Beta 2.6.0 by The Rain. It is from November 15, 2014.

CD contents and other info

  • The CD label is set to "7 Spring x64 2015".
  • The autorun has been removed.

Bootleg quirks

  • The setup text is completely unreadable due to the dark green forest background clashing with the generally dark text. Also, 7 Spring 2015 is repeated twice in the "Installing" string of the step of the same name.
  • You can find Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.3 (leftover) on the Desktop. There is Windows Loader 2.2.2 bundled, but it is only available in the Administrator user.
