  1. KB4487085-v2 works and the problems I had are gone. The only thing is that they probably implemented some kind of work-around and dynamically compiled C++ programmes that use UIs are slightly slower on a benchmark. (It's in the range of ms, so I don't think people would notice it in real life usage, anyway). They fixed it rather quickly... Anyway, as long as it works, it's fine.

  3. Cooperation from XP enthusiasts might be helpful in many cases, but in this case has resulted in confusion. IE9 does at least support HTML5 (but not MSE), IE8 of course does not. I can't seem to find an official YouTube statement regarding final deprecation of Flash Player, but know of no reason to disagree with the OP of this thread. Support for Chrome Frame ended 5 years ago. When it comes to my own vintage Vista system, Chrome Frame would be as unwelcome as an Alien facehugger. The obvious workaround is to use a different browser for YouTube, but +1 for wishing this wasn't necessary.

  5. I can confirm YouTube fails on Windows XP without Chrome Frame, however, it DOES work once you install Frame. I just tried it (in Internet Explorer 8).

  6. Updated my server-side file to allow the unofficial installer to install the latest NM and BK builds. PLEASE NOTE: I fixed a bug with the old installer. Please download the new installer, as upgrades were broken in the old one. The latest installer is always available here: http://i430vx.strangled.net/files/XP/RoyTam Browser Installer.exe As always -- Please let me know of any bugs you find with my installer!

  8. KB4462174 does not appear to be another Japanese calendar update fix, it's a real security fix. Is there anyone here who is using Office 2010 on a genuine POSReady installation (not a hacked XP installation) who could make an official support request to Microsoft about this, while there's still time?! Although Office 2010 is supposed to work with XP, IIRC unfortunately Microsoft's policy is that once an OS is unsupported, all applications running on it are also unsupported, so I don't think there's any use in an XP user complaining to them. If it's not working on a genuine POSReady installation though, that's a different matter, for a couple more months anyway!

  10. Ok, so this time there aren't missing dependencies, it just fails to load, which is weird 'cause it means that it's something related to your system. Honestly, I don't know why it doesn't work on your system, as I tried it on a few other systems and it was working fine, especially 'cause I included every dependency needed. Besides, the message you are getting is related to the C++ Redistributable. Do you have an updated system? Which Antivirus do you have? Can you check that whatever antivirus you are using it's not interfering with the executable? (Please note that it's not digitally signed, so some antivirus products might not like it). https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads @Dibyacan you try to run it on your XP as well? It's just to make sure that the issue is related to his system. After all, the installer works for someguy25 as well as in my virtual machine.
