will Microsoft Office 2019 be able to be installed and ran on Windows Vista with the latest release? if so it'd be ready enough for me to use vista as my main OS on my main rig(Vista business is my main OS on my thinkpad)

never mind this i figured it out. i just had to restart with the original files and use the batch file to see how to manually do everything. since it keeps failing on its own

ok i did install it. but i got the problem again. i installed all the updates i did on my thinkpad under vista. but windows boot manager refuses to work. what did i do wrong this time. i installed the kernel like i normally do. winload.efi 0xc0000428

ok good. i needed to use server 2008 because i just installed a 4TB HDD and wanted the OS on it. (yes its GPT)

i have a question. does the extended kernel work with windows server 2008?

nevermind that i fixed it by randomly trying things

um. i reinstalled vista and now after installing the sha2 updates. and adding the extended kernel. every application that calls functions from something is taking it from ntext.dll (which i thought was depricated already) yes i even tried adding it to system32. help

um. for the further requirements... my pc has a 3rd gen i7

well i tried to get the latest version of blender.

is this useful. kernelbase.dll was mentioned sometime in a different error. i forgot when i got it and what reason...

well the latest firefox is unusable on vista now... and no it isnt localized to just the websites. its on all ui elements... this isFirefox 89. and 90 may be just as bad....(actually the firefox dev build does still have the issue)

well Elite Dangerous Odyssey opens and then closes. Elite Dangerous Horizons still works just fine on vista. i need odyssey to run on vista.

i redid the extended kernel and managed to get more things to open

ok elite dangerous isnt launching. in fact nothing (except firefox fsr) that use the instructions in the extended kernel will start... what did i do wrong

nvm maybe i can figure it out.(hope i dont mess up the install again lol)

i reinstalled vista. now what updates do i need to install the extended kernel... i need links or a link to the list of updates i need. i installed the sha2 code signing updates already.

honestly i looked it up. followed a video. forgot what it was. i would need to boot into vista and wait for 1000+updates to configure

how do i use the extended kernel if i cant update vista at all(tried everything...). also if discord is working on vista without needing a web browser that would be good. Windows 8.1 is also causing problems on this PC so i want to move to vista. and i want to get steam fully working too... so i can just use Vista as my main OS EDIT. I finally Got Windows Update working. ofc i find the way when i say i tried everything. i thought i did.

well it seems it didnt work...

ok i want to install the extended kernel on my laptop. since my main has it. but vista isnt up to date. and every time i use windows update. i get Error 80072EFE. so how am i going to get to the latest patch level? btw this laptop has these updates

oh. does the extended kernel support lightcord at least? it would be great to have a proper discord client that at least works with vista. even if it isnt official. i will get to working on my main PCs copy of vista later. I'm doing my Dell XPS Studio M1640 which runs Windows Vista Home Premium.

wait when did they stop? im on webroot secure anywhere 9.0.29.62 which happens to be the same version installed on my windows 8,1 install on my main. im typing this from my Dell XPS Studio which is running Windows Vista Home Premium. my main has windows vista business, windows 7 professional, and windows 8.1 pro. Vista has the extended kernel on the main. but not here. meaning afaik windows vista is still supported by Webroot. yes i installed the sha2 updates. but i havent installed the extended kernel on this laptop. also my windows XP machine may be running the latest too. i will check later. that XP install hasnt had updates at all. except for Unofficial Service Pack 4 FINAL EDIT> just checked. and nope. but it isnt far behind. it is 9.0.27.49 on XP... meaning now i know what is the latest for XP... i didnt know before...

webroot secure anywhere requires the SHA-2 updates, so yes i do have that. and startup repair replaced hal.dll with the Stock Windows Vista SP2 one. will that hinder the extended kernel at all?

i tried to install the extended kernel again. this time i made a restore point and unfortunately. hal.dll same error code... cant boot. idk why.(yes i installed more updates)

k just got vista to boot. had to use startup repair tho. how do i get it to the latest update level. also i got steam working again. and i want to use the discord or Lightcord Clients. afaik the lightcord setup needs ResolveLocaleName of kernel32.dll and the discord executable requires K32EnumProcessModules of the same DLL how do i know what the update level is at... i cant use windows update as it fails. (code 80072EFE) even on a fresh install of windows
