@WildBill The ole32.dll 5.0.2195.7060 from your 979687 seems to be buggy. Please check this and the following post.

There was a critical bug in one of the files included in UURollup (ENU). Please read this and this post. I've prepared UURollup-v5 (ENU): - ole32.dll 5.0.2195.7103 has been added so it will always overwrite the buggy ole32.dll 5.0.2195.7060 when you install the Rollup manually. - shlwapi.dll has been updated to 6.0.2800.2015 (from BWC kernel). - Microsoft Runtime Libraries Collection 2.1.3 True Addon has been integrated into the UURollup. It's no longer necessary to use it separately. I've also added Windows PowerShell 1.0 for Windows 2000. It requires UURollup (ENU) and can be slipstreamed from HFSVCPACK_SW1 in HFSLIP.

M$ only gives instructions how to change XP/2K3 sorting style to the 2K one: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/319827 It's probably not possible to do the reverse thing in Windows 2000 :/

@BlackWingCat Would it be difficult to add "GetBestInterfaceEx" to iphlpapi.dll? It's required for BITS 2.5. @the_guy You're too optimistic about running IE6 SP3 / IE7 / IE8 files in Windows 2000 (even after fixing all the dependencies)

This is probably the best idea. Not everyone likes to have the autoupdater service running all the time, especially on a slow computer. Also, as jvidal said above, it'd have to be created for every language separately (you can just use the English version though). The last one, the new Flash installer doesn't work in Windows 2000 (with no unofficial kernel installed) so the autoupdater probably won't work either (the flash itself works; only the installer doesn't).

I have added three addons: Microsoft .NET Framework True Addon - based on OnePiece True Addons; Versions 1.1 SP1, 2.0 SP2, 3.5 SP1 and 4.0 are included. Click on "[Details]" for more explanation. Microsoft Runtime Libraries Collection 2.1.3 True Addon - based on YumeYao/ricktendo64's addon; installs all needed libraries of Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1, 2008 SP1 & 2010 SP1. Windows Imaging Component (WIC) 1.2.0 True Addon - based on YumeYao's addon.

BlackWingCat, would it be very difficult to add GetLayeredWindowAttributes to your user32.dll? It's the only API that your user32.dll is lacking compared to the one from WildBill.

MS VC++ 2010 is one of the reasons why many programs won't run in Windows 2000 without any unofficial kernel installed but there are also many other issues related to file dependencies, etc. By the way, if you're concerned about installing unofficial packages I'd suggest using Clonezilla or Parted Magic (Clonezilla is included in it) to make a copy of your system partition. You can always restore it to the previous state if something goes wrong. If possible, using a USB flash disk to boot it is recommended (because it's much faster than booting from CD).

I've been using http://ge.tt recently and l'm very happy with it. Much faster than Mediafire and also very light & simple.

I have added UURollup v4 (ENU) & v3a (Global). In the ENU version there are two new files from BWC kernel added (psapi.dll & userenv.dll) and one updated (crypt32.dll). I've also integrated one more UU (978706-v2; thanks M2GD for reminding me about this one). I've also removed some unnecessary catalog files and slimmed down the update.inf file - it should now install a little faster than before. In case of the Global one I've just removed CATs and worked on the update.inf so you don't really need to install it if you've already installed the v3 version.

Fixed You mustn't use both at the same time because files will overwrite each other which will cause issues. UURollup has files from both WB & BWC kernels (I chose which ones to include looking at their dependencies and APIs they add). By the way, Pale Moon browser does work with the UURollup installed.

No problem but I'd like to finish the script first. At this moment it still needs many fixes and addtions to be fully functional, especially concerning the SP part (merging updates works more or less). There are some issues with it too which I must fix before making it public, ex. the script now works in Windows 2000 only and doesn't in other versions of Windows, not even in XP.

By the way, I added these lines to splitinf.cmd and beautify.cmd: 1. splitinf.cmd Before: ::Replace "==" with a dummy string "§#§" CALL :run_gsar :x3d:x3d :xa7:x23:xa7 After: ::Replace "==" with a dummy string "§#§" CALL :run_gsar :x3d:x3d :xa7:x23:xa7 ::Replace even more stoopid ">=" with a dummy string "§#######§" CALL :run_gsar :x3E:x3d :xa7:x23:x23:x23:x23:x23:x23:x23:xa7 ::Replace even more stoopid "<=" with a dummy string "§########§" CALL :run_gsar :x3C:x3d :xa7:x23:x23:x23:x23:x23:x23:x23:x23:xa7 2. beautify.cmd Before: ::Replace dummy string "§#§" with "==" CALL :run_gsar :xa7:x23:xa7 :x3d:x3d After: ::Replace dummy string "§#§" with "==" CALL :run_gsar :xa7:x23:xa7 :x3d:x3d ::Replace a dummy string "§#######§" with even more stoopid ">=" CALL :run_gsar :xa7:x23:x23:x23:x23:x23:x23:x23:xa7 :x3E:x3d ::Replace a dummy string "§########§" with even more stoopid "<=" CALL :run_gsar :xa7:x23:x23:x23:x23:x23:x23:x23:x23:xa7 :x3C:x3d so now not only "==" but also ">=" & "<=" are processed correctly.

I don't know if it's mentioned anywhere but Gurgelmeyer's USP5 (when slipstreamed) is not compatible with installation from USB where you're using programs such as WinSetupFromUSB (or other similar) to prepare your source.

If you have all those packages (including USP5.1) installed then there's no problem with installing UURollup. Actually the only issue so far was when you only have SP4 & IE6 (and no other newer updates), and try to install the UURollup in such a configuration. Thus having at least the official Update Rollup 1 installed is the minimal requirement.

Actually this is what I meant as the only requirement for the UURollup: Update Rollup 1 for Windows 2000 SP4

There are actually three files: 2479628-v9a 2393802-v8 2508429-v6 You must install them in this order, and of course you should uninstall the BWC Kernel v15 before doing it. Alternatively you can install my UURollup (ENU) where all of them are included together with a few other files from BlackWingCat's kernel.

Wow Thank you very much for adding the compatiblity with WB's path to your shell32.dll. As for the psapi.dll, isn't it possible to use the XP file as it is?

I don't know, it just works Frankly, I rarely look at such charts at all. You don't really need to "use" the unofficial kernels. You just install them like any other M$ update and that's it. I've got UURollup (ENU) installed here.

You mean in Windows 2000, right? I can run it here with no problems. There are different players based on MPlayer, such as PotPlayer, the KMPlayer, SMPLayer, etc. All of them work fine in Win2k.

I just want to confirm that WinSetupFromUSB works with Windows 8 Consumer Preview too. It's detected as Vista but no problems occur during the installation process

Opera is compatible with Windows 2000 by default

I enabled the MagicTrap checking: [Prerequisite] condition = AndOp,MagicTrap.Check.Condition [magictrap.check.condition] PresentOp = CheckCustom,,mpsyschk.dll,MpSysCheck EqualOp = CheckCustom,,mpsyschk.dll,MpSysCheck,,"==",1 It was disabled by mistake. You can compare the update.inf from v3 and v3a if you're interested. Anyway, it's good that the problem has been solved The log is fine. You shouldn't worry about all these errors. You can see the same things in logs of official M$ updates too.

Actually this error is very different from the last one Could you try the new version (v3a) which I have just uploaded?
