Extensions don't work with even earlier versions of Chromium on Vista so this one should be no exception. BTW. by 9.x and 100.x you mean version (ex. 100.0.4868.0) or build revision (ex. 966626)

Hi, what was the last build that you managed to get working and which one didn't start? The "latest" version: 100.0.4868.0 downloaded from https://download-chromium.appspot.com/ still works so I'm probably looking at a wrong beta/dev/canary level.

It actually seems that no files are missing! But why does it ask for downloading them if they are right there in the installer?

There is no need to download anything, because while .Net 3.5 installer asks for downloading .Net3 files, in fact it has all the resources already available in it. Thanks to @abbodi1406 for pointing this. To install .Net framework completely offline: 1. Before proceeding you may (or may not) have to install Windows XP service pack 2, Windows Imaging Component and Windows Installer 4.5 KB942288-v4. (I had them already installed) 2. Install earlier versions of .Net Framework like .Net 2.0 sp2 (offline installers are available). 4. Extract .Net framework 3.5 installer using 7-zip or similar program the widely available offline setup. It shouldn’t ask for internet connection now. 3. Install everything from dotNetFX20 and dotNetFX30 folders. 4. Install .Net framework 3.5 using main installer. It shouldn’t ask for internet connection now. 5. You can test some .Net 3 programs. For example Microsoft Mathematics 4.0 which is a .Net 3.5 application.

No, at least not yet

I was looking for some Vista-compatible laptop to buy and I found that Betawiki article (from my first post) climing that all the issues on Haswell+ were fixed in a Server 2008. Being very optimistic about this (since Betawiki is from my experience a reliable source of information) I replied to Jakob99's post regarding this topic. (My account was not even 1 day old at that time. so it indeed may look like a scam), but after following the discussion it's clear that I wanted verification of this information. The unnecessary drama around the topic has already made one person quit msfn (@vistapocalypse), but as usual the truth turned out to be in the middle. Anyway, I'm going avoid posting about unverified information even for the purpose of their verification, and I'm sorry to everyone who is for any reason feeling bad about my posts.

The original question: https://msfn.org/board/topic/183152-windows-vista-on-intel-haswell-and-later-issues/?do=findComment&comment=1210440 I understood the sentence as "Hi ! Could you (plural - forum members) please confirm or deny what he (@Jakob99) says ? I refuse to beleive that ,but still , perhaps we need to try" "I'm assuming he's (@Jakob99) talking about the rollup from August 2020" The correct interpretation was probably "Hi ! Could you (singular - @Jakob99) please confirm or deny what he (@daniel_k) says ? I refuse to beleive that ,but still , perhaps we need to try" "I'm assuming he's (@daniel_k) talking about the rollup from August 2020" That's how it all started

I said that the problem does not occur for me. It is @Ark_mage2180 ( and later @winvispixp) who reported the issue .

It is 4.5.6002.19424

@Vistapocalypse I would kindly advice that you to make sure that this decision is not dictated by the behavior of a single "dude", who is (intentionally or not) kicking you from the MSFN community. I'm sure 99% people here appreciate your dedication to the topic and you helped many of them. If there are more important reasons, it's ok, I (and probably everyone here) will respect your decision. Good luck with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, Linux (just not Windows 10 or 11). Happy New Year!

@D.Draker Hi, You quoted this post: And than you said So you were assuming that Jakob99 was talking about the rollup from August 2020, so I said that Jakob99 meant Windows 7 build 6519, because i thought that you are not really into Windows beta builds. I'm sorry if I misunderstood you. About the 6003 update rollup: @win32 already said So i consider the case closed. Offtopic:

This means that the issue is not vanilla Vista related so no Windows update can help. I don't use kaspersky or msi afterburner, but I'm sure Windows Installer errors don't occur for me. The only possible reason that comes to my mind is because I don't have 32 bit extended kernel installed.

Windows 7 build 6519 is AFAIK the first known build to have the hal issues completely fixed. It's a beta build and was compiled between Windows Vista RTM and Windows 7 RTM so it has nothing to with a 2020 monthly rollup. From what I understand @Jackob88 has been wondering if the hal.dll from that build can be ported to Windows Vista to solve Vista Haswell+ errors. You can read more about it here: https://betawiki.net/wiki/Windows_7_build_6519

It looks like in your language version the "Program Files" folder is called "Programmes". Replace the osver.ini file contents with: [C:\Programmes\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe] Enabled=1 FirefoxFix=1

Actually 6519 refers to Windows 7 build 6519 which is a beta version of Windows 7

Install the Extended Kernel Download Firefox 91 ESR x64 installer Install Firefox 91 ESR x64 on Windows 7 or newer Virtual Machine (or PC). Copy "Mozilla Firefox" folder from %programfiles% of Windows 7 VM to Windows Vista's %programfiles% Create "Mozilla Firefox" folder in C:\Program Files Extract the downloaded installer with 7-zip Copy all the contents of the extracted "core" folder to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\ (path to firefox.exe should be C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe) Create an empty osver.ini file in C:\Windows\ Put the following content in it [C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe] Enabled=1 FirefoxFix=1 To get video codec support: 1. Apply the DLLredirectionenabler.reg. 2. Create a Firefox.exe.local folder in %programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox. 3. Extract the mfplatsetup.7z and copy all the dlls it contains to the Firefox.exe.local folder. Launch firefox.exe

This KB5008274 is very recent (december 2021). I don't know if the Extended Kernel is compatible with it The "Prerequisite" section of the Microsoft article says that this update also needs KB4538484 or KB4575904. The problem is not vanilla Windows related so no Windows update can help.

Hi, This error often appears when someone forgets to run this command (as admin) before installing the extended kernel: bcdedit /set {current} nointegritychecks yes Does your error look exactly like the one in the "common errors" section of the guide? It's better to copy all the required files all at once, because Windows won't boot with for example ci.dll from the extended kernel and winload.exe from vanilla vista.

Hi, i think you may want to take a look at this old post by @win32. https://web.archive.org/web/20200730112455/https://msfn.org/board/topic/181612-wip-windows-vista-extended-kernel/ I also think it would be nice if any one of the developers posted a basic tutorial about dll functions adding or at least some useful links to websites regarding this subject. I'm sure many people will be eager to help with extended kernels development. EDIT: Ive found this:

I don't think @win32 ever promised that The main problem with using extended kernel with local redirection is that you can't redirect exe files. This makes it impossible to load extended kernel ntoskrnl.exe and winload.exe. AFAIK the last version of Firefox you could run with local redirection was 64 (as showed in the @WinClient5270's video on the previous page).

No, .NET 5 and 6 are based on ".NET Core" not framework, so you still need 4.x Yes it is, but not as much as other Microsoft products https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/telemetry I successfully installed Microsoft Windows Desktop Runtime - 5.0.11x64 on Windows 7

Hi, Is it possible to run touch screen related components from Windows XP Tablet PC Edition on Windows XP x64?
