It's not open source. Open Source implies that the source code is available under a licence that allows redistribution, and while Microsoft isn't likely to sue you for putting this on GitHub, they're not exactly going to be all for it. More like source-available.

The OOBE in Me and XP was HTML! The “getting things ready for you” screen (added in Windows 8) is also HTML. Seems like HTML is the right choice here though for how dynamic it needs to be, especially for OEMs to customise. WinUI would still work but it would become much more of a mess with all the many variables of different UI states to manage.

The Windows XP OOBE was a web thing as well. An IE6-based web thing. And it was much longer on some OEM systems. Perhaps try looking into hacking that next?

i'm SORRY? the XP oobe was a web app? ms knew what web apps could do back then..

@@coleisforrobotYeah, there were a few others in XP, like the User Accounts control panel. The help was heavily HTML-based too, although the shell around it might have been more traditional.

Even more fun is when you realize you could press [Ctrl+O] to navigate to any other page during OOBE or the activation screen.

The Gateway OEM Windows XP OOBEis more longer to get through in my experience. There's ads for AOL (lol) and others more clogged things.

really cool video and really like the new end user agreement :)


who can dislike this masterpiece kek, now jokes aside; it was actually pretty much obvious the oobe was a web app at first glance, pretty much sad how microsoft is making all a web app.


I'm not sure about the benefits of custom solutions... If OOBE were modular, then there would be no questions, and I would even make a beautiful version myself now. But since it's part of the installer, I don't want to distribute or download custom Windows builds of them because of the nice installer, because there are often viruses... Thanks for the video! I'm wondering why js isn't minified. Usually, when I come across web application reversing, it's just a mountain of garbage of minifications, obfuscations, and webpack.


Actually autorun installer used to work in PE perfectly fine, at some point I was installing almost everything, even XP, that way, because I was working with old motherboards that had issues with booting from large (127+ GB?) USB drives


Ah yes, how can you be DMCAed when you can change the terms of service at will.


For anyone wondering, console.log didnt work probably because console.log is native to the browser and is "unreadable" to the dev console - which is probably just an eval and only has "access" to the expression's return value


I know im about 6 years late, but maybe modify the installer and make a new version of CTAC. Great video!

Honestly HTML/CSS is the best UI framework I've ever used as far as customization and ease of use goes. Pair it with a advanced framework like Angular and you've got a powerful toolbox for UI development.

Could be done for customization purposes but it could also be done simply because HTML/CSS is great to develop with.

(JS not so much, but TypeScript helps a lot.)

Another benefit is that you can develop UIs that work in a web browser, on mobile, and on the desktop, and they all can share the same code. Of course that wouldn't apply in this case.

It's the exact same technology used for the wii system settings!


Why the hell is 4k video played at oobe? The generic drivers are the only thing in place by that time, must lag like hell, and since 800x600 is the max resolution with generic drivers if im remebering correctly, you're viewing 4k video at 17 times lower resolution

We need to ask Microsoft. Actually scarilegious

Possibly because most people see the OOBE after buying a new PC or upgrading Windows, in which case there's already GPU drivers installed. Windows might also try to install drivers automatically as it prepares for OOBE after a fresh install if you have ethernet. I still to this day wonder why Microsoft does not preload drivers for various GPUs that get installed whenever said GPU is detected.

The generic drivers have been at full resolution for years. If I"m not mistaken even the XP ones can be manually set to higher resolutions.

@@laglife  Microsoft used to include drivers for common video cards through Windows 7. I don't know about 8 but in 10 they only included the "Microsoft Basic Dispaly Adapter". Modern video card drivers are absolutely huge and they probably wanted to save a bit of space for their own "features".


Honestly, the customization of the OOBE would be useful for OEM's too! My HP laptop (which I have Ubuntu on right now due to driver issues) uses a dark mode theme by default, so a dark mode OOBE would fit right at home!

@@_kitaes_ <br>So you could make a dry run environment by simply making that API in JS and letting it do nothing but report back whatever it needs to report back. Then you can run the setup as often as you want XD

I have a question: from where can I download that Windows 11 26052 ISO file?


Custom Windows builds after this video: 📈


With this found out,imagine what else microsoft has been hiding for us


Next challenge, change the functionality of the shutdown


Seriously? OOBE is written in javascript? That's why it's so slow...


I knew that OOBE was a web app. I don't really think OOBE should be modifiable for OEMs, maybe Micro$oft is too lazy to make an OOBE on C language. I also know that Windows Core OS has an explorer based on Web, too.


Maybe if they didn’t use web apps in the OOBE we wouldn’t need as powerful of computers and maybe with the removal of that and some other bloat Windows could once again fit on a DVD


Gosh just came from school had a very bad day but this cheered me up

@@luhgarlicbread eh, im  that one kid that's almost always bullied for literally nothing (its hard to explain but in my school theres ppl who "chooses ppl to bully every year" if ya know what i mean (basically like 2 years ago somebody else was bullied, then another person, now me)) and also got an f from history class


15:41 Me: "Microsoft finally added dark mode to OOBE!"


5:10 now thats why he always play gd songs


It bothers me that they still use the Windows 7 style title bar on installers and other boot media.


incoming google translate mod of the windows 11 oobe


Now we can steal and make a better windows B)


Благодарю за видео! Очень интересно смотреть


me:WAKE UP EVERYONE IN DA HOUSEEEEEEEEE

friends:what where whyy.

me: its 3 am but endermanch posted new video


I swear, if youtube takes this down i will personally go to their building and demand to take all your channel strikes away


Were installing Windows OS with this one 🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥


Isn't this violating the Windows EULA (End User License Agreement)?

I quickly read it, this isn't violating the EULA.


Holy crap you play Zuma. My dad appreciates that!


How did you find out about this lmao- Wow. But I can't say I'm not amazed, I am very. This is insane lol


I can’t wait for redistributed versions of windows with keyloggers in the oobe 😅


I think you forgot to check out what the SHIFT + ` backtick key combo does: (ev.keyCode === 192 && ev.shiftKey)


Reminder: open source != source available.  You can't redistribute the source, thus it isn't open source.  It's source available.

then what is FOSS used for? foss has freedom while open source doesn't need the freedom because it's not included in itself.

@@BlueSheep777 FOSS is just a marketing term for open source.  Open source software has those freedoms already.

@@matthewboyer4212 there's a reason why people use FOSS instead of open source. It's because the word "freedom" is literally in the acronym. In many languages open source is the same as source avaliable, It's even simmilar in english. Again, just because some organisation wants everyone to use their definition, doesn't mean that the definition is morally correct. if I gave you those two words, and you wouldn't know anything about that movement, then your first instinct would tell you, "the source of something is open/avaliable". I even asked many linux users, and thr majority said that that's the reason they say FOSS instead of OSS, because OSS can be on All Rights Reserved licence, and nobidy can say a shit about it.

If open source itself would be portrayed as full freedom then FOSS would be pointless, but there's a reason that they are different things.

@@BlueSheep777 If you look at the actual definitions, FOSS is a marketing term for open source.  Source available software isn't open source.  Never has, never will.

@@matthewboyer4212 if you look at SOME ORGANISATION'S DEFINITION. There's no actual definition of open source. OSI's definition isn't lawful, so what matters is common sense.

@@BlueSheep777 I haven't seen anyone use any definition other than the OSI's, not even Microsoft.

@@matthewboyer4212 I asked many linux users and they all said that you can have an open source project with an ARR licence, and when I told them about "source avaliable" they thought I meant open source. And I saw many open source projects that didn't had a freedom licence.

"Copyleft" I mean it's better than "Copywrong" 😂


The new installer "cleaning up", and other waiting confuses me - why is there a seemingly useless timeout when old installer which we had since 2009 did not have such stupid timeouts and has done the job just fine

because uwp apps are installing, i wonder too why aren't they preinstalled


Can we make Windows boot into any UWP application on first boot? I expect the possibility to replace the PFN of Cloud Experience Host with the one for another app, or you can likely modify the manifest of any UWP application or at least any WinJS app to match the PFN and entry point of the cloud experience host.


I'm nervous now and hope that windows 12 wont be having a win32 bootscreen and a uwp based ntOSkrnl


I think the console does not output stdout but the result of an eval() call, so it's basically evaluating your input and outputing the result of the expression, nothing related to any stdout, I don't think there is a process.stdout in there or anything like that.


Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't that installer existed since M2ish of Windows 8?


The OOBE is not open source, there's a difference between source available and open source. If it's not under a free license it's proprietary.

@@Ale111Alethere's no open source license, it's proprietary code

@@aiexzstell me the definition of open, source and then why you need 3 pages to define a combined word. FOSS exists and it says that it's free and open source (as in freedom) so open source doesn't really need  to have a licence just because a movement wants them to.

@@aiexzs you can't just disagree based on your feelings.

@@BlueSheep777 i'm not defining anything for you i frankly don't care


now this is what I call a Enderman video

This video really wants me to make a script to UwUify all of the Windows strings


U should like make the installation and oobe by ur own style as ur channel theme is, we want to test it out! or as meme


So they are killing my eyes in the OOBE just because they want to


They should in fact construct the whole windows system in this way instead of just the oobe in the future so customizing it would be easier than ever before! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

But no big corporation would leak the source open for hackers

@@Ale111Ale What do you say about Linux? <br>Making Windows open sourced is a very good way to let the community locate bugs together with you and make Windows better.

You didn't have to take it out of a VM, the files stay even after an update.


That's groundbreaking. So it's that the same on windows 10x?

But you need to jailbreak the system before oobe😊


Hey i have been thinking of something that might actually be quite weird. What would happen if you used dism to pack a full standard windows distro and then put that wim file inside a PE boot cd would it boot???? Example: Windows Preinstallation Enviroment during the file copy process this enviroment is used and stored on the medium in folder src and the enviroment is stored at the file boot.wim what if that file was a full enviroment instead would windows F it up again? Because in linux this is indeed posible have a full live enviroment


Imagine theming the whole OOBE to look like XP


I wish if it was true, "Copyleft Microsoft".


Great! Now get rid of all the bloatware, telemetry and spyware pre-packaged with Windows and <i>then</i> ill maybe consider using it. In the meantime ill stick to Linux Mint.

i get you want to flex your ego or whatever but the whole point of the video is downplaying microsoft


Of course, OOBE had to be a web-based app.


Xp logo oobe got me laughing on the floor 🤣


What a background giving me the smell of old times when windows 7 and windows xp  came out since then any windows like 10 ,8.1, 8,11 is not familiar even if they have a good look and works perfectly but the old times they never come back🥲🥲🥲


Where is the Windows 10 loading animation file? The "balls spinning" at Windows startup...


We getting Windows 11 OOBE Ctac edition out of this 🗣🗣😮💨


5 ⭐I learned many things about oobe from this video.


Bring other videos like so, are very interesting


07:54 maybe try js code that returns not undefined


Since when does Windows Setup look like that?


Is it possible to run the OOBE using a web browser?


0:47 This is strange because it worked for me in VMware


I should really start fucking with windows a bit more


in linux i also soimetime forgot to use sudo. come on man you,me , everyone can do mistakes but dont say they are rookie and thx for this amazing guide to configure OOBE


someone make it so that the oobe plays the whistler intro :pray: or you know what even the macos snow leopard that'd be neat


cant wait to see bootleg windows 13 and its just win 11 with custom oobe and pre installed apps


I Really like the video but can u make videos faster i dont love to wait 2monthes for a cool video like yours


Rectify11 dark mode oobe update will be added like this, I'm sure


what is the name the app he used and how i can download it

OOBE is source-availible and NOT open source.
Open source is source code that is made freely available for possible modification and redistribution.
OOBE is proprietary software, calling it open source is very misleading.
Also, the distribution of the OOBE source code is not legal, I would advise taking it down


I tried on windows 10 22H2 and it's almost the same!


Please just do some voice acting. I just want to listen to your videos in the background.


Too much knowledge for an average Joe like me.


The new installer JUST released, bro give it a break


I swear if Microsoft will take down the video withn a few days, then i am going to boycott every microshit product


why dont u make ur own windows that will be cool!


get rid of dev console kinda useless because you can just copy and paste the older js dev console into new...


The content of let's say you making a video about the secrets of the windows installer I don't have a problem with. The content that you make on the topics that you do them about is GREAT!! Phenomenal! Flawless! BUT it is absolute brain dead to me to make me have to read It makes me lose complete interest.

Would be nice if these were a bit more engaging videos that weren't so brain dead and made me have to keep pausing every single two seconds to read what you type. Somebody talking voice overing something something that helps me watch a 17 minute video with nothing but raunchy audio on it Is a huge turnoff and also distracting from me reading, and also being a video full of so much text it might as well just be a blog post. I come to youtube to watch videos not read text and pause every 2 seconds to read 2 lines of text.

Let's turn this into a poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxJlVXYFkpH_2XOzQKwCPRlqYvlpjSx-Hm

besides that intro is already perfect as it is

I am an HTML coder. So to change the color to white, do <font color=white>

You should be using CSS instead. The "font" and similar tags have been depreciated since HTML 4.0 which came out in late 1997. That's over 26 years ago.

I'm not a nerd so I can't do CSS @@eDoc2020

@@coder436  That's actually worse. "Color" has never been a valid attribute on a "span" tag. The proper HTML 4.0 and later method is to use a style attribute on the span tag (or other enclosing element). So <span style="color: white">.

calling it open source is a bit misleading

here the source code just happens to be available in the OS? not sure how to explain it

the difference probably doesn't matter

Remove fucking windows installer  fucking malware


BTW, http://codebox/jsconsole looks like a Microsoft intranet address.


Isn't the "new" installer a modified version of setupprep.exe, that was introduced in Windows 8?


What's most interesting to me is that WinJS, from what I gathered from the GitHub issues, hasn't had support since 2016, which is crazy. You can't even browse the docs, it just redirects to the GitHub project page lol


its also possible to open the oobe in a window using this command: ms-cxh:frxinclusive


The installer looks retarded now, windows 7 basic & modern white? Oh Microsoft 🤣 macOS & most Linux installers I’ve used have been neat asf


Wait so what are they using to actually render this? If it's just some kind of cleverly fullscreen'd browser window, then we need to consider that since they've made edge a system level browser, the OOBE might be running on it. Meaning that you're technically setting up your windows installation using google chromium.

Judging by the scroll bar, I think it uses the older EdgeHTML


Fun fact: CloudExperienceHost actually has code for the Xbox. Around 6 months ago I was looking into the files and I found comments in that could that said something along the lines of "this has been disabled due to crashing on Xbox consoles. We could not get the issue to replicate on any of our dev consoles so we will have to remove it for now"


Congratulations! Microsoft is now in search of you throughout the entire planet to find and sue you for the "infringement of Windows license and policy" that nobody cares and cared about.
