Bootleg quirks

  • This bootleg draws a lot of inspiration from Windows MZM 2011 (the majority of its themes and software coming from it). It also takes influence from various other Arabic Windows bootlegs.

CD contents and other info

  • There is a conflict with Windows Unattended CD Creator's RunOnce software installer and the setup hotfixes. Everything is located in I386\SVCPACK, but the software installer expects all of it to be in Software on the CD, so therefore nothing will get installed.
  • There is a blank 34-byte batch file named RENAME.BAT in SVCPACK.
  • There is a serial number listed on the CD root as SN#.txt.

WINNT.SIF metadata

  • The full name and organization is set to "hussam mousa" and "genius-xp" respectively.
  • The computer name is set to "genius".
