I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you have the KB915985 hotfix installed, the NTDLL.DLL file from your MS11-011 fix will not be installed and there will be a BSOD on the next boot. KB915985 installs a NTDLL.DLL with a higher version number than the one in your fix. Thankfully, I tested this scenario in a VM NTDLL.DLL from KB915985: 5.0.2195.7080 NTDLL.DLL from MS11-011: 5.0.2195.7007 Edit: A copy of NTDLL.DLL in the UNIPROC folder is needed for slipstreaming. But other than that and the KB915985 issue, the fix works perfectly!

This patch looks like it might actually help in using XP files for some of the other security patches. Also, that bootskin feature looks awesome! Keep up the great work!

I have done some more testing of XP files on Windows 2000 and I have found that, with the ADVAPI32 and KERNEL32 files from blackwingcat's Known DLL Wrapper (renamed to ADVAPIXP and KERNELXP), XP's SCHANNEL.DLL from MS10-049 will work with Windows 2000. The only changes to XP's SCHANNEL I had to do was to hex edit the import table to import the wrapper DLLs (Similar to what blackwingcat did for iTunes). I have tested this with Gmail and Facebook and the TLS/SSL logins work properly.

It would be nice, but no rush.

bristols, The "Shell Icon BPP" fix seems to have worked. The white shadows disappeared and I still see WildBill's 24/32-bit icons that he added in MS11-012. Thanks.

Just a quick question. After installing the MS11-012 patch, I started seeing ugly white shadows on some of my icons (The ones with 32-bit icon resources such as Internet Explorer 6 and Firefox.) What could be causing this? The issue first showed up in MS10-048 and I believe was caused by USER32.DLL because when I installed MS10-073 without MS10-048, the issue didn't occur. Still, other than this minor issue, your patches are amazing and work perfectly. I have attached a screenshot of the icon issue.

What you are doing for the Windows 2000 users out there (including me!) is amazing. I wish I could do the things you're doing and help out with the load, but I can help in another way: I have found out that the XP files for MS11-017, MS11-024, MS11-029 and MS11-033 work with 2000 rather well (Dependency Walker show no problems, Wordpad can open a Word 2000 document fine with the MS11-033 file installed, the FXSCOVER.EXE from XP's MS11-024 update loads up and seems to work fine, the MS11-024 MFC DLLs work with the programs I've tested, the new MSTSC files from MS11-017 work great and the new GDIPLUS.DLL from MS11-029 works with everything I've tested.) Thanks again for making these updates, which are the reason I was able to bring my old laptop back to life! - Another happy Win2k user Edit: It looks like the MS11-031 JSCRIPT.DLL and VBSCRIPT.DLL also work with Windows 2000! (If Windows Script 5.7 is installed)
