Tony Twoclicks Great thread, thanks for providing an update to your script, I keep getting the below error when running the script, any ideas how I get around this error?

Code:
Determining OS architecture...
- Windows is 64-bit

Finding installed components...
- Found E-sys Launcher Premium 2.8.2.155 installation in:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\TokenMaster\E-Sys Launcher Premium"
- Found E-sys 3.27.1 installation in:
"C:\EC-Apps\ESG\E-Sys"

Rearming E-Sys Launcher Premium...
- Removing soft-token path from E-sys configuration
- Deleting Launcher configuration
- Deleting RSA keys
- Predating system (please wait)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
WARNING: Cannot redate file or folder
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
There was a problem redating
"C:\ProgramData"

Rearm may be unsuccesful. Close all programs before running this script
to minimize file or folder locks. Reboot if the problem persists.

Avast Antivirus users should temporarily disable the Self-Defense
module by going to Menu -> Settings -> Troubleshooting and unchecking
the corresponding box. Re-enabling this settings after succesful
completion of this script is highly recommended.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Completed, but with warning(s)...

See "ReadMe.txt" for Launcher-specific valid date ranges and other notes.
Happy coding and consider donating to a charity for all the good work
Tokenmaster has done!

Your current system date is:
23/12/2018

Press any key to continue . . .
----UPDATE

I've fixed this by uninstalling Avast...

Uninstalling Avast is one possibility. For those who want to keep using it: simply disabling the Self-Defense module would suffice.

Hi Everyone

I'm new on the forum and to Bimmers world. I've just made acquisition of an F20 116d Ed and I'm trying to gather as much information as possible before starting to handle coding.
Before going further in installing Esys and Esys Launcher, I had question :
Is it necesary to get an activation code from TokenMaster to have the Launcher work for the first time we install the Launcher ? Because if so I think it's useless to get the Esys installed at once .

Thanks for your support

Even though this thread isn't really meant for advice on starting coding, I'll try to answer your question. When using the free Launcher Premium you normally don't need an activation code, unless you configured your system to a blacklisted country/keyboard setting/timezone, or when using a virtual machine instead of real hardware. If you want to try you can simply install the Launcher first, run my script with a reverted system date and see if an activation code is required. If it works you can install E-sys afterwards.

Good luck and have fun coding.

Cheers, Tony

Hi Tony
Thanks so much for your prompt reply . Actually I was not looking for advice for coding here.I know there are many other threads handling the topic.I came across the discussion on the Launcher Script and I wanted to know more about it.
I'll follow your instructions and see what will happen. To sum up, I need first to revert the Windows 10 system date to the timeframe mentionned in the script, before installing the Launcher , then install the Launcher and after run the script ?

Cheers

Correct, although on my test system it didn't really matter whether the system date was reverted before installing the Launcher or after. Make sure you disable automatic time to prevent the clock from resetting itself to 'now' and keep monitoring your system date throughout your session.

Every time I want to use Esys, do I have to change the date before and execute the Reset? Or would it be enough to change the date?

It shouldn't require rearm every time but it probably depends on what's been happening on your PC since the last time you used ESys. It doesn't seem to matter if you do the rearm, and it's pretty quick so I see no problem with it. An important requirement is that the date remains reverted for the whole of your session. Disconnecting the PC from any internet connection before you start should avoid any problem with this.

Whoops, my bad... I just realized that I was incorrect in my reply to Amazingh the other day: E-sys has to be installed before running my rearm script as its folder needs to be redated for the rearm to be succesful. Sorry about that, it's a check I added to the script recently and forgot all about it.

So to answer your question: install E-sys first.

No man! It's not your fault haha, I understand that you need to install Esys first, but the problem occured a few months ago now but I decided to ask for help only just now.. haha everything is installed the way it should and it finds the launcher but not Esys..

I think E-sys's installer didn't write any or non-standard keys to the registry, prohibiting my script from finding them. Did you use a normal installer from a reliable source? What E-sys version?

Did you see the title of this thread?
This has nothing to do with that.

Stop being lazy and do a search or create your own thread.

Simply being a member of the Administrators-group is not enough.
Did you right-click the file and choose Run as Admin in the menu?

hello TOny, this is my first post and I would like to thank you in advance for your answer.
I use Launcher Premium 2.8.2.155 and Esys 3.27.1_RC_b44813 and pszdata 63.3.003-

when I proceed to the rearm with 2.0.4 the procedure is successful (completed succesfully) with the green screen and the date set 01.07.2018.
When I start the premium launcher the window comes out where it asks me for the activation code (request code CS43A500007A0EFA83) and not the screen with the pin request. What could be the problem? I state that the language of W10 is English, English time zone English keyboard.

sorry if there are imperfections but I use google translate because I'm Italian

Are you certain that you are using Launcher PREMIUM and not PRO?

If you're running on a VM, try 'real' hardware.
Other than that, I don't know why you're getting the activation screen, although I'm pretty sure it's got something to do with the regional blacklist Tokenmaster build into the Launcher. There was a document about this on Google some time ago. The check involved more than just the system language, timezone and keyboard settings, but I don't remember the details. Maybe you can do a search and let us know

Sorry I can't help you further.

Cheers, Tony
