The good people at Hacklabs have put together a 10 step guide, that I think that even computer-illiterate users will be able to follow, to get past the WGA check in most, if not all, Microsoft applications that require validation.
1. Download Orca (mirror) and install it.
2. Open WindowsDefender.msi with Orca
3. Go to the âCustomActionâ table on the left
4. Right-click on the âCHECK_WGAâ action and select âDrop Rowâ
5. Now got to âDialogâ table on the left
6. Look for the dialog âCheckWGAâ, change the Attribute from 2 to 07. File > Save (DO NOT use Save AsâŠ)
8. Close Orca and run the installer.
So use it while you can folks, it won’t be too long before Microsoft patches this issue.

Nice one…
But wouldn’t that be an 8-step guide instead of 10?
I guess that the first and last step count as two steps instead of one, but you’re right, I’ll edit it ;)
where do i find Windowsdefender.msi in windows folder or wheree ??
The miror doesn’t work, is this bypass still working?
