After installing https://www.dadisp.com/files/dsp67e.exe and kernelex 4.5.2019.24 in a Windows 98 SE machine
including the extension items (uncompressed the following files: K452stub.7z, Ktree9.7z, iphlpapi4.7z, Kstub822.zip and copied it to c:\windows\kernelex folder) from page
https://retrosystemsrevival.blogspot.com/2018/05/kernelex-45201617-updates.html and copying windowscodecs.dll to c:\windows\system of
the Windows 98 SE machine (I get windowscodecs.dll by uncompressing wic_x86_enu.exe version 1.0 from https://archive.org/details/wic_x86_enu)
Windows 98 SE shows the following error after running dadispnt.exe:
"D:\dsp67\dadispnt.exe A device attached to the system is not functioning"
and
"The WINDOWSCODECS.DLL file is linked to missing export NTDLL.DLL:RtlSetBits."
How to resolve the dependency? I know nothing about "kexstubs", c:\windows\kernelex contains amongst other files core.ini, kstub822.ini and k452stub.ini,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\KernelEx\KnownDLLs contains the following lines:
MSIMG32 "MSIMG32.DLL"
PDH "PDH.DLL"
PSAPI "PSAPI.DLL"
USERENV "USERENV.DLL"
UXTHEME "UXTHEME.DLL"
WTSAPI23 "WTSAPI32.DLL"
