Does anyone here have any problems with NM28.10.4a1 using LinkedIn? The top toolbar doesn't load but I'm still investigating various settings to see that works but so far no luck.0

I suggest using a PORTABLE LOADER even with all of Roytam releases (similar to how my 360Chrome releases use a portable loader).
For all of Roytam releases, use the official portable version from here -- http://archive.palemoon.org/palemoon/28.x/28.2.2/
I personally use only the 32bit version even on my 64bit systems.
Do not "exectute" the file after you download it (the file name is Palemoon-Portable-28.2.2.win32.exe).
Do not download the "latest and greatest" (it will not work on XP, if I recall, unsure).
Extract the file into its own folder using 7zip or similar.
Delete all of the files in the Bin folder and replace with your Roytam files for whichever browser you wish to run as portable.
If it's a Basilisk or BNav browser, just rename the executable to palemoon.exe or dig through the .ini and edit accordingly.
You'll have to learn a new portable loader .ini format but well worth it - I always run all of my browsers using a loader and .ini.
You can copy your existing profile into the portable loader file structure, the default profile for a NM/PM is in User -> PaleMoon -> Profiles -> Default.
I also do this for added security, my OS doesn't have a "default browser" and the OS can't open what it thinks is the "default browser" because the executable file no longer exists.
I used this and works!
Though I did have a few minor issues. The portable version leaves an empty directory "AppData\Local\Moonchild Productions\Pale Moon" or "Local Settings\Moonchild Productions\Pale Moon" for XP where I need to manually delete it after I close the browser.
Does anyone see any residual files or directories anywhere else that should be manually deleted?

Thank you everyone! It took a bit of time but I got Good Old Games to work with New Moon 28.
I followed these instructions: https://msfn.org/board/topic/182647-my-browser-builds-part-3/?do=findComment&comment=1206460
A warning, the New Moon thread has 2 major versions, NM27 and NM28. NM27 is the one that is being updated very frequently so you need to go back a few pages to find NM28. NM27 does not work with Good Old Games.
Also, the portable version, while portable still leaves traces of "Moonchild Productions/Pale Moon" in the my app directory when it closes so that has to be deleted manually as well.0 -
I'm unsure how to use NewMoon but I'll try and figure it out. Portable version preferred.
Do you have any problems with https://www.gog.com/games on NewMoon?

Used Portable Firefox 52 ESR.
Walmart.com worked great until this month when they updated the website and now it doesn't work. Can't add to the cart. Parts of (Good Old Games) https://www.gog.com/games does not work.
Are there any options in getting these websites to work in XP?0 -
Thinking about updating an important Vista Machine. For a Vista machine from scratch until the latest 2008 updates, what's everyone's experience when running all these patches? Besides Windows Defender, have there been any stability issues or even small problems when running these?

Thank you everyone for the help.

- download KB4493563 and extract its contents
- open SP3QFE\ntdll.dll with resource hacker
- navigate to first item inside "Message Table" folder
- copy all the text to an editor that has block-copy function (for example, EmEditor)
- block copy right column text starting from 0x8020000B line to 0xC0150012 line
- block paste right column text starting from 0xC0000001 line to 0xC0150013 line
- copy right column text from 0xC020000C line to 0x8020000B line
- navigate to first item inside "Version Info" folder
- replace all 7682 with 7683
- save itthen you will need a way to replace the ntdll.dll that your system is using, either using windows pe or hacking update.exe for that.
for the hacking update.exe method, you can grab blackwingcat's update.exe from "WindowsLU" package and replace update\update.exe so you can edit update_SP3QFE.inf freely. and how I change my INF:
- rename KB4493563.CAT to KB4493563-v2.CAT
- open update_SP3QFE.inf with text editor
- adding "-v2" after KB****** to both SP_SHORT_TITLE and SP_TITLEthen run update.exe and let updater do the job for you.
What program do you use to modify this file? Can something similar be done with KB4494528 so I don't have to remember that I need to run " regsvr32 MSI.DLL" 10 years from now?
What are some good simple options automate everything in this thread so that 10 years down the line, when I need to reinstall XP, I remember all this stuff?

It works for me using VirtualBox 5.2.x on multiple systems using several different operating systems.
Have you checked the troubleshooting section of the guide?
What host OS are you using? I've been doing some testing things are running ok with a Debian Host but with a Windows 7 Host, I keep getting errors everywhere.

Is there a way to repackage KB4507456 so it never installs the telemetry parts in the first place? What options we do we have to modify this package?

Has anyone installed this on VirtualBox 5.1 or higher? I'm trying a few and I'm getting occasional random crashes and random complete sound loss until reboot. Is there a way to create a virtual USB stick?

I found the resource table of the localized NTDLL.DLL has been broken since Jan 2016.
Japanese, Korean, Italian .... etc.
(English version has no problem)
The following article shows the detail :3

That is too awful that the reason of XP shows "Application Exit by CTRL+C" when embedded Windows XP update is applied, (Japanese blog).
Of course KB4493563 is also broken.
Hi, I'm a newbie who's confused. What is this issue about and should I worry about it? I use English XP but have other languages installed.
I'm holding KB4494528, KB4493563, KB4501226 because of reported issues. What should I do with them & how do I install them?
Thank you.
