Hello everyone, this time I do not bring a question if not a solution for all users who are still using Windows Vista in 2019, how to install new versions of the .NET Framework in Windows Vista! Tested versions for me: 4.6.2 | 4.7 Requirements to be able to update net framework in Vista to more recent versions: Service Pack 2 installed (I recommend having the platform supplement and all the updates until April 2017) Net Framework 4.6.1 (Latest version compatible tested until moment with Vista) Compressor files like WinRAR or 7zip Warning: You will not be able to use Windows Update again in Vista after installing NET Framework 4.6.2 or 4.7.2, I recommend updating the system with all the updates until April 2017! Let's start with the procedure: Download the net framework version chosen in this case 4.7.2 from the MS page With our file compressor open the executable to install net framework and look for the file ParameterInfo.xml and copy it to the desktop Open the xml and search this line: <BlockIf DisplayText="#(loc.Blocker_UnSupportedOS)" ID="UnSupportedOS"> Replace all this code: <BlockIf DisplayText="#(loc.Blocker_UnSupportedOS)" ID="UnSupportedOS"> <And> <Equals LeftHandSide="Installing" BoolWhenNonExistent="false"> <Operation /> </Equals> <Or> <Or> <GreaterThanOrEqualTo LeftHandSide="6.1.0" BoolWhenNonExistent="false"> <TargetOS /> </GreaterThanOrEqualTo> <And> <Equals LeftHandSide="6.2" BoolWhenNonExistent="false"> <TargetOS /> </Equals> <Equals LeftHandSide="Client" BoolWhenNonExistent="false" Id="IsClient"> <RegKeyValue Location="HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\InstallationType" /> </Equals> </And> </Or> <And> <Equals LeftHandSide="10.0" BoolWhenNonExistent="false"> <TargetOS /> </Equals> <GreaterThan LeftHandSide="14393" BoolWhenNonExistent="false"> <RegKeyValue Location="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\CurrentBuildNumber" /> </GreaterThan> </And> </Or> </And> </BlockIf> For this other code: <BlockIf DisplayText="#(loc.Blocker_UnSupportedOS)" ID="UnSupportedOS"> <And> <Equals LeftHandSide="Installing" BoolWhenNonExistent="false"> <Operation /> </Equals> <Or> <Or> <GreaterThan LeftHandSide="6.0.0" BoolWhenNonExistent="false"> <TargetOS /> </GreaterThan> <Equals LeftHandSide="6.1.0" BoolWhenNonExistent="false"> <TargetOS /> </Equals> </Or> <And> <And Id="Is2k8ServerCore"> <And> <And> <And> <LessThanOrEqualTo LeftHandSide="6.0.0" BoolWhenNonExistent="false"> <TargetOS /> </LessThanOrEqualTo> <GreaterThan LeftHandSide="6.1.0" BoolWhenNonExistent="false"> <TargetOS /> </GreaterThan> </And> <Not> <Equals LeftHandSide="Client" BoolWhenNonExistent="false"> <TargetOSType /> </Equals> </Not> </And> <Exists> <FileVersion Location="%windir%\system32\oclist.exe" /> </Exists> </And> <Exists> <Path Location="%windir%\system32\scregedit.wsf" /> </Exists> </And> <Not> <LessThanOrEqualTo LeftHandSide="4.0.31106.0" BoolWhenNonExistent="false"> <FileVersion Location="%windir%\System32\mscoree.dll" /> </LessThanOrEqualTo> </Not> </And> </Or> </And> </BlockIf> After saving the file open the net framework executable Open the label that you have installed Vista in this case C and you should find a folder with a long name that includes hexadecimal characters, open it and quickly replace the XML ParameterInfo that you edited. Note: I may still show you that it is not compatible, this is tedious and annoying but try several times as fast as possible to replace the xml ParamenterInfo while the files are being extracted before the installation begins! Net framework updated in Windows Vista!

@~♥Aiko♥Chan♥~: your memory settings are as expected. About the Runtime error you reported (202, not 20 isn't it?), it's definitive related to HDA2.DLL. You can try extreme low Vcache settings first. Boot in Safe Mode and set in SYSTEM.INI [Vcache] MinFileCache=1024 MaxFileCache=1024 If after reboot HDACFG.INI has been changed, please attach file together with HDALOG.TXT.

@TechnoRelic @roytam1 has absolutely NO CONTROL over the mentioned URI; http://www.palemoon.org/unofficial.shtml is hosted on the "www.palemoon.org" domain, which is owned by Moonchild Productions; as you said, a tab with that URI loaded is triggered after an unbranded Pale Moon build (New Moon in this case) has been successfully updated (app version change). Actually, what gets displayed in that post-upgrade tab is controlled by the value of pref: startup.homepage_override_url For official builds, value is (string): http://www.palemoon.org/firstrun.shtml and, as stated, for unofficial (unbranded) ones: http://www.palemoon.org/unofficial.shtml What you suggest implies @roytam1 setting up (and hosting) a dedicated webpage with the changes you proposed; this can be a "minimal effort" solution with just some text and links, more effort required if artwork is involved (background and foreground images, logos etc.); the link to that webpage should be then set as value of mentioned about:config pref... In any case, you obviously lean towards "proper" rebranding of New Moon; MCP already direct unbranded build users to so those "clueless" ones are already informed (still, all these who can't be arsed to read any disclaimer of any form will continue to "irritate" Moonchild and company even if a specialised post-upgrade page is set up ). Even if New Moon becomes fully rebranded to Goldie Locks (haven't decided whether to include the 3 bears or not ) with completely new artwork and redirections to non-MCP related support sites, I don't think MCP will be totally freed from the random Goldie Locks user landing on their forum/github tracker (and this is what seems to be the only one and poignant issue they have with the rest of us...); just look at what happens with MyPal and (to a lesser degree) Centaury...

> MaxPhysPage=3E6FF (or change value accordingly If it already exists, do we use the higher or lower of the two values? (Are we trying to increase or limit this system setting?)

Well done. Next steps: 1) Add to SYSTEM.INI [386Enh] MaxPhysPage=3E6FF (if the entrance already exists with a higher value, change to 3E6FF. If the existing value is lower, report first and do nothing). 2) Change in HDACFG.INI SleepingWidget=$03 Output Widget=$03 and VolumeWidget=$06 3) Add to HDACFG.INI [BUSMASTER] myPCIHI=$3E82 myPCILO=$0000 myPCI=$3E820000 aPCIHI=$3E81 aPCILO=$0000 aPCI=$3E810000 Please reboot TWICE and listen with headphones during boot for the slightest click or plop. Please attach latest HDACFG.INI and HDALOG.TXT.

Found this on reddit for those who dislike as much as me the new Google search when javascript is disabled. Just change the user string to this to get the old one back : Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:3.0) Firefox/3.0 Works good in UXP (for now) and also tested in 60esr. Added as a separate override for google and all seems well so far: general.useragent.override.google.com

I warned you, HDATSR won't work in plain Windows ME ! If you like to continue with this driver, use ONLY HDA2.DLL and the entrance in SYSTEM.INI I gave you. The two files I mentioned should be there after reboot, and will reside in your Windows directory.

I am a complete novice at this stuff x_x What entries do I need to add? I also reinstalled ME and things seem to be going much better. Using a generic driverpack of 400,000 drivers fixed a bunch of usb drivers that would not install. Done: 945GMA (video), chipset, ethernet, and multiple USB thingies Needs work: audio (not installed yet), wireless card, cardbus??? Issues: Drive C is using MS-DOS compatibility mode file system, motherboard resources are giving me an exclamation mark, the wireless card is 2000 or later. I tried these drivers. My wireless card's hardware ID is: VEN_168C&DEV_1014&SUBSYS_058A1014 My audio driver's hardware ID is: VEN_8086&DEV_27D8&SUBSYS_201017AA&REV_02 I can confirm a 945GMA video driver exists for Windows 98 This driver has to be installed manually via the device manager because the program contains an artificial OS block. https://www.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=1239980&auth=At82snaUidNtrCvtF7wFYmllar0f3%2BrewfY6ssl80AQdylcNrTPrdPtK5D1ujC8WqUBIrUWa7CCDsRPO7bIb6ap0O%2BUZyHvK5KJ8l%2Fdi2gsdfxdHcpTwRB4td%2B6op811 https://imgur.com/a/gIXWpK1 I also figured out that motherboard resources needed Lone's custom INF driver but it's still giving me a code 15 error (conflicting devices). Sadly, it does not let me modify resources.
