Converted image shouldn't have date set on conversion date #162

Images generated by UUPMC will strangely boot up with conversion date though virtual machine's date is locked. Old flight-signed builds will be completely uninstallable. Other UUP conversion programs do not have this behavior.

I guess this is related to some image manipulation process.

Edit: only WinRE is affected

This sounds very odd given winre.wim is the one thing that does not get touched by the conversion process. Are you sure this is an issue with the tool? Do official isos available from microsoft reproduce such behavior?

Edit: also how does WinRE prevent installation of old flight signed compiles?

Sorry for bad wording, I mean the setup RE (boot.wim).

I noticed some packages were removed during boot.wim generation and I guess that would be a problem. Other tools (like abbodi1406's uup-converter) use a relatively dumb method to generate boot.wim so free of this issue.

Setup will boot up with the modification date, ignoring BIOS date lock. If not setting date with command prompt in setup RE manually the timebomb will be triggered.
