Thank you to yasin and luci in the comments for pointing out the Sony and Toshiba image issue. For those that are interested in updated logos and information, please keep an eye on the blog – I’ve almost finished planning v2.0, which will be a complete rewrite with additional features.

OEM Brander has been updated to version 1.7, which improves the auto updating functionality.

Download
More Information

What’s New:

  • Automatically download needed updater files
  • Warns about file name change affecting updates

The auto updater now downloads the required updater files if they don’t exist – no more self-extracting archives, just a single, portable download. For those of you who don’t want to update automatically, you can rename the executable – it will then prevent any further checks until it is renamed back. This is now conveyed in the user interface (where the update link is normally).

OEM Brander has been updated to version 1.6, which adds auto updating and a self-extracting installer.

More Information

What’s New:

  • Auto Updater
  • Self-extracting installer

To accommodate the extra files required, OEM Brander is now packaged in a self-extracting archive. If these extra files do not exist, or the application is renamed, updating is disabled. For those who do not care about all that, I’ve included links to the standalone version – this will always be identical to the extracted release, just without the auto update ability.

More Information

OEM Brander is free portable application designed to allow you to edit OEM branding on a Windows PC. When you buy a PC from a manufacturer, they will usually have the Make, Model and Support information in the Systems Property window, as well as a company logo. OEM Brander enables you to edit this information and to use your own logo, which will be automatically resized and scaled to fit.

Unlike most OEM customization tools, OEM Brander supports editing this information on Windows XP to Windows 7 (and future versions if the process does not change). It also allows you to change the Performance Index Logo and the Media Centre Logo, as well as the Registered Owner and Registered Organisation.

OEM Brander requires .NET 3.5 Framework or newer and can be run as a portable application (no installation required). It also requires Administrator privileges, which are automatically requested if running in Vista or above. It is designed to work with Windows XP, XP Media Center, Server 2003, Vista, Server 2008 and Windows 7. It was tested on XP Professional and Windows 7.
