Hi everyone, this is my first post on here, so please go easy on me as I am not familiar with all the minute ins and outs of this site.
Fist off I want to thank the wonderful @blackwingcat for creating such a splendid project, it has truly breathed new life into this OS.
Secondly, I want to thank the hero that is @windows2 for posting this video to the forums. I remember seeing this on Reddit, but I couldn't remember where. So coming across your post really helped me out massively with finally being able to setup and install the Extended Kernel. Without the video I may not have found out that I was still trying to install a much older version of the project, and would have still continued to get the same error that @spaztron64 Is currently having. This video truly helped me in so many ways.
Now thirdly, I am wondering if @blackwingcat or anyone else, is planning on getting a working an mostly functional version of .NET Framework v4.5 working. I am wanting to get Discord installed on my DELL Latitude C840, reading to be used as a daily driver for a full fortnight. I have installed as much of the upgrades as I can think of that I also feel like they are not likely to nuke my system, and i have gotten really far. but I am really hoping that .NET Framework v4.5 might be able to get some more love now that it has been about a decade since @blackwingcat made a post on their website about their achievement with successfully installing it on their system.
The blog write-up can be found here: http://blog.livedoor.jp/blackwingcat/archives/1707555.html
They did however make these notes:
"However, when I start a 4.5 compatible app, an error occurs."
and this at the end of the article,
"For now, it turns out that the core DLL has this many defective exports・ω・;"
I find it curious that no further progress seems to have been made since at least the posting of this write-up back on September 10, 2012, and we are now in 2024 about to cross over into 2025. Is there any chance that the .NET Framework v4.5 compatibility progress will be picked up soon? The developers of Discord have stated that they are no longer going to be provide support for the x86 version of the desktop app, and I thought that now would be a great time to really make a lot of progress with being able to get Discord working on Windows 2k EX Kernel.
I hope that this hasn't come across as too demanding, I often prefer to be very direct, it is one of the side effects of my ASD, and I honestly do not intend to be seen as being rude to anyone. I look forward to watching the continued progress and development of the Windows 2000 Extended Kernel, and hope that Discord will also be able to be made to work on Windows 2000. Thank you to all those who have stuck it out and hung in there, and taken the time to read my first post sorry for it being so long, I just had a lot going through my mind that I wanted to share. Thank you again.
