Again,

Mentioned, but never explained. So what is it?

What is:

Actually working more than ever. It tells you exactly what it could fix if you had ApiLog running in the background instead of just letting the load fail silently. Looking at the log files now.

Great! The log file is an .ini file and 64KB means it's full. Use SORT in a DOS box, edit out the duplicates, and post the results (or just compress and attach). That will show me the highest priority APIs I should be looking at. Then delete the log file and let it start filling again.

Does the Kstub log show that QueryServiceConfig2W is actually being called?

z2 as zero/null return indicates error/not found. I think KernelEx.dll has an implementation that could be exported.

IE6 works with Kex disabled, so I'm not following you. Try IE7/8 instead.

Radmin32 is still on my radar. Thanks for the reminder. The idea is to make Radmin32 and Unicows both optional add-ons. This can be done now with Kexstubs (without all your extra redirection), but I want to split Unicows out of Kexbasen and handle Radmin32 the same way.

Maybe on XP or Vista, but we don't have the underlying OS theming support for Uxtheme to wrap.

Unlikely. Too many higher priority improvements to do first. And by then, all Kext projects might be obsolete. As a power tool, it already works more than well enough.

Great feedback. I'm hearing that the new prompts are confusing, but otherwise it's working correctly. The warnings are necessary on this first version. They will be phased out very quickly. I'm getting rid of the "Apilog.exe ... rerun" one now. It will revert to canceling the load silently. Done! The switch to enable auto-stubbing of load-time missing API's is a running ApiLog.exe with logging (to console or file) enabled. You do have an invalid AppHelp.dll in your path that fails to delay-load at each boot, however. Sheet.dll already had some issues that still need to be fixed. Only the version string display code was updated. What version were you using previously? The new ordinal support in Kstub825 is fully documented. The definitions work exactly the same as for named functions. The ordinal numbers just need to be specified as shown in the examples with leading zeroes as padding so they sort correctly. I've also replaced ExitThread with ExitProcess so apps don't hang if a missing API gets called. Kex22_26pre2.7z

Try the files from Retrozilla (Browser or Suite). Also, the emailer in the suite should be nearly identical to Thunderbird.

Kex22_26pre1.7z Kex22: KernelEx 2022 v4.22.26 Preview #1 - Requires Kernelex 4.5.2 plus 4.5.2016.18 full update already installed Quick Installation: - Merge KexMpr-.reg and reboot to disable KernelEx. - Copy all files into Windows\KernelEx folder. - Merge KexMpr+.reg and reboot to enable KernelEx. Features: - KernelEx.dll Core resolver can skip all missing API's. Dummy Kexstubs definitions no longer required! - New version format with Sheet.dll updated to correctly display old and new formats. - Kstub825 now supports ordinal stub definitions. See Kstub825.ini for examples. - ApiLog.exe and ApiHook.dll from v..18 required for Skipping included for convenience. Full Installation on clean system: - Install Unicows 1.1.3790.0 to Windows\System - Install KernelEx-4.5.2.exe - Merge KexMpr-.reg and reboot to disable KernelEx. - Copy v4.5.2016.18 full update files to KernelEx folder. - Copy all later update files (v..19-26) into KernelEx folder. - Merge KexMpr+.reg and reboot to enable KernelEx.

A js bookmarklet should do that easily.

Are these files SSE2, 1, or none?

Please decide what vanilla OS this thread should focus on: 98 or 98 se. After three years, you seem to have changed you mind. Once you decide, please update the title and top post.

There's your answer: It can read the drive, just doesn't support the existing format. What file system is on the drive now?

Thinking back to the earlier discussion about memory footprint, perhaps all packed files should be repacked using compression that will be faster and lighter to unpack at runtime.

What is "Binaural Beats"? There was a tech question about it several years ago here on MSFN that went unanswered because no one understood what was being asked.

Okay, mystery solved. I was hoping a compatible Ole32.dll update had been found. Clicking on "Pl" in DW sorts by missing API. Are any others missing? "Fail to load", not "crash". A program must first load and then start running before it can crash.

For each of you: 32- or 64-bit Notepad++ and what version of Ole32.dll?

See GetVersion in Core.ini and Ktree (and version.c) for a multi-definition usage example. The contents= line in DCFG1 without a qualifying .names section does make it special, and a problem. DCFG1 will be gone by the end of this month, so you need to figure out now which line(s) in BASE.names give SPDF problems: Create [DCFG1.names] and copy into it from [BASE.names] in binary search fashion (add half the remaining lines until there is an issue, then remove half the last adds until it resolves). Reboot each time, five times max per issue. Then rename DCFG1 to a custom profile name (or do this first!) and report here the results so I can improve KernelEx so that we don't need as many custom profiles.

Only API names are case-sensitive. Multiple definitions are allowed and can be accessed individually in Core.ini by different profiles. Test Kexstubs.dll and clones with Ktree v10 or higher. Load by dropping the dll onto the open window; reload after updating definitions by pressing <F6><F5>.

Javascript error. They need to update Edge or maybe other system web components.
