I had already released it.
(It meant that I released it and the problem may be fixed.)
If you can't run Add/Removal Programs control panel app. You can uninstall old version from %SystemRoot%\$NtUninstallKB935839-v13e2$\spuninst\spuninst.exe.
You're welcome! I can't wait for v13f to come out to fix the broken Add/Removal Programs control panel app as well as the latest version of Flash Player and Oracle Java not installing properly.
Thanks for the help. I uninstalled KernelEx v13e2 and tried out v13f. Here's what has happened so far. I would like to update that the KernelEx project for Win2k is starting to seriously improve!
I was able to use the Add/Remove Programs control panel applet and install Flash Player 11.1.102.62 without any problems.
I even managed to reinstall Java 6 Update 31, however when I installed Java 7 Update 3, I was told that the previous version of Java was already reinstalled. To get around this, I used the NT Registry Optimizer to clean out any unused entries, restart the computer and Java 7 Update 3 installed and ran sucessfully!
Awesome work so far!
Is it possible to install a newer version of KernelEx ontop of the previous version without uninstalling it first?
As for the effects on USB devices and older hardware that I have installed, I'm gonna post a separate forum thread before I apply KernelEx on the host PC.

Thx to report it.
I may fix this problem by v13f kernel.
You also may use firefox v13 on v13 kernel
Okay, I tested KernelEx 13e2 and when I attempted to add or remove programmes, the Add/Remove Programs feature (appwiz.cpl found in \SYSTEM32 directory) no longer functions.
Additionally, when I tried to execute the installation of either the Flash Player plugin/ActiveX component, I get the following error message: "The application failed to initialize properly (0xC0000005). Click on OK to terminate the application."
Is there any way to fix this by setting the compatibility mode of the application designed for Windows XP or later?
Also, Microsoft's version of their legacy JVM and Oracle's version of Java both cause both Internet Explorer 6 and Firefox 10 to hang. And that I can neither reinstall Java 6 Update 31 nor Java 7 Update 3...getting a "Internal Error 2753 - regutils.dll". But ironically, only the Microsoft Java VM works.
Can anyone confirm this?
On the bright side, I test out the 2012-02-20 nightly of Firefox 13 and it works and so does VLC Media Player 2.0.0!

no, MS only updated the support pages because they were confusing and didn't show that also home editions get security updates when products are in extended support.
Really? I didn't know that by now.

You probably haven't heard about this, but Microsoft has quietly extended consumer support for both Windows Vista and Windows 7 for five more years!

Did you ezinstall ? do you check Ez KD Reg ? you must ez install to same folder as flashplayerinstaller.exe.
After install, you also set ez install kernel32 to %systemroot%\system32\Macromed\Flash
I fixed it.
To install Adobe Flash 11.1.102.62, I get the SetDllDirectoryW not being found in KERNEL32.DLL. How can I patch the latest Flash Player files to make it work?
I tried that and it was no help. I'm currently trying to get Flash Player to work with KernelEx 13a2 and the Flash Player installer even failed to initialise properly returning the error code 0xc0000005.

What application do yo use ?
If I can, I will test it.
Okay, when I try to run your KDW/FCWIN2k utility, I'm getting a missing entry point PrivateExtractIconExA (a function only available in Windows XP SP1 and later) that could not be located in the USER32.DLL file.
How can I fix this? I'm running this in a Win2k VM for the time being and I should have backed up the hard disk image, incase I screwed up.

Also, I'm new to using KDW ya know.

If you use KDW, copy InstallFlashPlayer.exe to anywhere temp folder and EzInstall to there and execute.
If you want flash control panel, you must execute it XP compatible mode with fcwin.
and patch *.cpl for userxp.dll with fcwin, and Dynamic install user32.dll(userxp) to system32 folder.
Japanese blog detail is here
SetDllDirectoryW is available in both unofficial kernels (WBv8 & BWCv5 or higher) so the easiest way would be to install one of them. The other possible way is to change dependencies with KDW.
Thanks for the help! How can I change the SetDllDirectoryW under KDW?
Thanks for the help! I appreciate it! I'll take a look at that site to see what I can come up with.
I will need to install it in a VM environment first before I apply it to the host machine.

The latest update of Adobe Flash Player 11.1, 11.1.102.62 fails to install on Windows 2000, Windows XP RTM or Windows XP SP1, throwing the error message upon installation:
Entry Point Not Found : The procedure entry point SetDllDirectoryW could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll.Adobe Flash Player 11.1.102.55 is the latest that would still work.
Looking into the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\MACROMED\FLASH directory on the Windows XP VMware VM, the SetDllDirectoryW is also found in FlashUtill11f_ActiveX.exe and FlashUtill11f_Plugin.exe files. The other files do not have that dependency.
If there are any hacks and workarounds to replace the SetDllDirectoryW entry point, please let me know.
For about a year, Win2k support had been deprecated since the release of Adobe Flash Player 10.2 and I believe that they will most likely pull the plug on support for that OS in Adobe Flash 11.2.

Dumb question...
Will this affect Thunderbird or is it time
to hunt for an alternative?
The change will effect all Mozilla-based apps, including Firefox, SeaMonkey and Thunderbird. Plus, developers are in the process of removing the now dead-support code for Windows 2000 from Gecko since MSVC 2010 is incompatible with Win2k.

Well, when the time comes, I'll give Pale Moon a try, especially since it takes the same extentions
and if there is a PortableApps version, I mean why not?
My password manager from Protecteer couldn't be any more awkward without the toolbar and
the company is dragging their a** by not going beyond FF 3.6.26.
If a company is not going beyond Firefox 3.6, they'll be very unhappy to learn that Firefox 3.6 will be EOL'd on 24 April after 3.6.28.
I also don't know if Pale Moon will be able to build versions of their browser after version 12 since the switch to MSVC 2010 affects all Mozilla-based apps.

I guess then I'll have to adapt, if I can't get Wild Bill's or BWC's kernel to work for me the only
alternative would be one copy of xp pro upgrade for this workstation,then nLite my 2000 CDs
and just use 2000 to run the capture cards in dedicated refurb computers and go to Linux full time.
I'm at least glad I have 'till June 5th.
I agree...but I don't know if contributors will be able to also build contributed versions of Firefox for OS/2 or eComStation after Firefox 12 and Win2K support both hit EOL.
I still have the Windows XP VM running under VMware Player. It's unclear to me if Firefox 13 will run on a processor that only has SSE2 instructions or that it will start requiring SSE3 (found on Pentium 4 HT processors or later). If Firefox 13 requires SSE3 users on Windows XP and Linux running on a computer that only has SSE2 support is going to be in a lot of trouble. I pretty much will most likely have to switch to Opera soon unless there are volunteer contributed hacks and workarounds to make VS2010-based Firefox working on Win2k.
I located WB's KB2393802.but I'm going to wait until I have another machine or backup boot drive
before to try it on. Thanks for all the work though.
I did too download WB's KB2393802 and I'm still looking for the direct link for blackwingcat's custom version of MSVC++ 2010 that will work on Win2k. Starting next week, RelEng will be getting ready to remove the Win2k support code from Gecko, because the code in the trunk is now dead since they switched to MSVC++ 2010 in the trunk Nightly.

Can't find related news for the Seamonkey suite, still listed as "all windows".
The SeaMonkey suite and all Mozilla-based apps are affected by this change. The announcement was made through mozilla.dev.apps.firefox and cross-posted elsewhere. The announcement regarding SeaMonkey can be found here: http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey/browse_thread/thread/4dbd921b2565f33a

Thanks for trying to run the 2012-02-03 trunk Nightly build of Firefox 13 on Win2k with the Kernel v11 environment!
I was hoping that there is a English language version of Kernel v11 soon.
Along with EncodePointer and DecodePointer what other entry point APIs will it use that don't exist on Win2k? :\

You can find WildBill's kernel at bristols updates list. Look for KB2393802. Links to BlackWingCat's kernel & MS VC++ 2010 SP1 are already mentioned in this topic.
They are pretty safe, especially the older version of BlackWingCat's kernel (v5) can be said to be perfectly stable as I don't think any issues with it have been reported.
So should this version of Firefox not work in Windows 2000? It works fine here
Thanks for the help.
I downloaded KB2393082 and I will need to back up the data incase I screw up. Now, I'm gonna try to find BlackWingCat's MSVC++ 2010 SP1 files also.0 -
Not being supported does not mean that it won't work...
In case it's compiled in VS 2010 you can just either:
1) Install BlackWingCat's MS VC++ 2010 SP1.
2) Install WildBill's kernel or BlackWingCat's kernel.
Can I have the link to the files in question? Thanks.
I will need to install it in a VM first before I do it on this PC. I will need to back the VM up incase that I screwed up.
By the way, here are the links to the trunk nightly builds of Firefox:
Trunk nightly: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/
ZIP file: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/firefox-13.0a1.en-US.win32.zip
Installer: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/firefox-13.0a1.en-US.win32.installer.exe
With BlackWingCat's MSVC++ 2010 SP1 runtime and special kernel, I don't know if it's going to work or not. Mozilla developers are now expected to remove the dead support code for Windows 2000 from Gecko.

Browncoat, the actual announcement is on Asa's webblog. When I posted this forum thread, I found that the URL link was broken. So, I fixed the link for you.
In the short term, the upcoming beta version of Firefox will be Firefox 11 beta 1. Mozilla is apart of the open source community and has apparently been that way since it started work on Firefox way back in the end of 2002. One thing for sure is that I've been running Windows XP under VMware for quite sometime to take advantage of some of the modern features (even though Windows XP has been obsoleted since it left Mainstream Support in April 2009).
I managed to get some of the extensions working under Firefox 4 and later by extracting the XPI file and hacking the install.rdf to make it run on later versions of Firefox. As for the app that has been holding you back, I believe that it will only run properly on versions of Firefox (up to 3.6). Speaking of Firefox 3.6, the support plug will be pulled when Firefox 10.2 ESR gets released.
Windows XP does require product activation to work and I've been through this before.

Hey, everyone!
You might remember this forum post from nearly six years ago when Mozilla made a decision to drop support for Windows 9x/NT4/Me from Gecko 1.9.
After several months of wondering off in bugzilla.mozilla.org as well as mozilla.dev.planning Google newsgroups, I'm starting to feel pretty adventurous to see as if there are some developers here who have good knowledge of C++ programming with interest to keep Windows 2000 alive on our own accord, I've been thinking that this would be the right place to post.
Well...as you might not have already noticed, Asa Doltzer, Mozilla software developer and community coordinator for Firefox marketing projects has called on the Mozilla development team to end all support for Windows 2000, Windows XP RTM, Windows XP SP1 and Windows Server 2003 RTM.
This change will impact all Mozilla-based apps (including official builds of Firefox) off the Gecko 13 branch and beyond. Products built on the Gecko 12 branch will be last to support Windows 2000. When Firefox 13 gets released on 5 June 2012 (less than 18 weeks from now), our options will be limited.
With Firefox 13 (the current version in trunk Nightly) and any Mozilla-based apps built on Gecko 13, developers switched to Visual Studio 2010 which means that the upcoming version of Firefox (and any Mozilla-based apps) will start using EncodePointer, DecodePointer, newer compiler features with numerous entry point dependencies that do not exist on Windows 2000 and older versions of Windows.
Here are the references, if you're interested:
1. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=563318
2. http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa/archives/2012/01/end_of_firefox_win2k.html
4. http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.platform/browse_thread/thread/a6fcb6210f8b3d62
5. http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.apps.firefox/browse_thread/thread/ab0164a039e425e4
That's why there are projects (such as KernelEx for Win2K and KDW/FCWin2K) to help keep Win2K alive. Wouldn't it be interesting to help contribute and try to develop a compatibility library or a custom version of Firefox (or any Mozilla-based app) for Windows 2000?
Well...with less than 18 weeks remaining, there is still a lot of time do this and I've been thinking that it would be a good idea to get discussions started early.
Let's see if anyone here is interested in helping out!
Sadly, I don't have any knowledge of C++ programming, but I'll be glad to see what is going on here. I can't wait to test out some stuff under VMware Player soon to see if it works.

Happy to know that the issue - if not solved - has been at least found a reason why.
It seems like Toshiba made really things much harder than needed, compare with:

Thanks for the link to the article in question. I appreciate it.
It seems that the PS/2 wheel mouse and the Toshiba AccuPoint device doesn't like to get along with each other.
0 -
Well, I'm happy you found the source of your problem!
Maybe there is some program to disable and/or reenable the AccuPoint from inside Win 95. Do search for it.
BTW, here's a pic of an AccuPoint mouse, FTW what does it look like (as I was until I found this pic).
Thanks for the help. I appreciate it. I'm planning on getting a second Mitsumi Standard Scroll mouse for this desktop computer this Christmas. At this time, I can only enable to AccuPoint mouse if I change the setting on the Pointing Devices in the BIOS to Simultaneous. If I get a camera ready, I'll post a photo of what the AccuPoint mouse looks like soon.
For the time being, I'm about ready to head for bed.
0 -
Okay, folks! I think I found the problem and it's not related to operating systems at all...it's one of the settings in the BIOS setup!
If I press ESC or use a utility called TSETUP.EXE (which must be done from the MS-DOS prompt), it will take me into the CMOS setup. In the first page, there are features that will change how the laptop operates. In the OTHERS section under Pointing Devices, there are two options available:
1. Simultaneous
2. Auto-Selected
If I select Simultaneous, the Toshiba AccuPoint mouse is active along with the AccuPoint left (on the top) and right (below it) mouse buttons are active. However, this will disable the ability to use the scrolling feature on the PS/2 mouse. Thus, the Microsoft IntelliPoint 4.01 software treats the wheel mouse as a regular two button PS/2 mouse.
If I select Auto-Selected, I will not be able to use the eraser feature on the Toshiba AccuPoint mouse and its features. This causes the scroll mouse feature to work correctly.
Sadly, this is most likely a design limitation in Toshiba laptops from the mid-to-late 1990s. If I were to set the Pointing Device to Auto-Selected, I wished that I found a way to get the AccuPoint mouse working again.
Thoughts anyone?

Boot MS-DOS 6.22 from PCMCIA Compact Flash card.
in Windows 9x/ME
Posted
Hi all! It's been a while since I posted anything new here.
I'm trying to find ways to boot MS-DOS 6.22 from a 2 GB Compact Flash card connected to a PCMCIA adapter on the Toshiba Tecra 720CDT laptop and so far, no such luck.
The BIOS has no support for booting from PCMCIA, so I'm gonna have to find ways how to get around it without running into difficulty. And doing a search for booting from PCMCIA or from a CF card connected to a PCMCIA adapter yielded little or no help at all.
The unit has two PCMCIA slots and I recently had both the hard drive upgraded and maxed out the RAM, by the way. And looking at the PC card (PCMCIA) properties, the IBM TravelStar 8E hard drive (Drive D:) is on Socket 1 (bottom) and the 2 GB CF card (Drive E:) is on Socket 2 (top).
While Windows 95 OSR2 does recognise the PCMCIA devices on the fly, when rebooting into MS-DOS mode (MS-DOS 7.1), it doesn't even recongise it at all.
How can I get the PCMCIA devices recognised in MS-DOS mode and how can I find ways to successfully boot to the compact flash card on Socket 2 when the BIOS doesn't support it?
Thanks!
