KernelEx for Win2000

**Tommy** · October 15, 2012

That's quite a few functions. However, I was just saying that the error didn't come up on my test machines. Of course the installer itself failed but it didn't come up with a critical stop saying such and such cannot be read like it does on my main machine. It almost seems like it's related to the Windows Installer somehow, but I don't know. I could be wrong. Aside from USP5 and UpdateRollup 2, all I use as far as unofficial updates are blackwingcat's kernel extensions.

What's yourr MSI.DLL version?

**Tommy** · October 16, 2012

@tomasz86

My msi.dll version is: 3.1.4001.5842

I think that you didn't tell us everything

Aside from USP5 and UpdateRollup 2, all I use as far as unofficial updates are blackwingcat's kernel extensions.

MSI.DLL 3.1.4001.5842 is NOT included in any of those packages. You must've installed other updates too. Are you 100% sure that the problem happens with MSI installers only? Do any of them work or all just fail to start? Could you go to Services (services.msc) and try to manually start "Windows Installer"? What happens?

Even if it's not directly related to the issue which you've been experiencing, I myself did test this particular version of MSI.DLL in the past and found it very problematic (if not buggy). Windows Installer service just refused to start randomly. The situation came back to normal after I've restored the previous version (KB968006).

**blackwingcat** · October 16, 2012

Version v22 series and previous v22i2　 is so buggy that I delete Extended Kernel blog page before.

There are many reasons why the installer crashes with v22g.

I don't have the latest updates installed. The latest I have as of now is v22g installed, however it's been an ongoing thing for a few of these packs now. It unfortunately doesn't say which module is in question. But this is what I get out of the event viewer.

It's just a comment / suggestion. You add and remove Cryptographic Services using a combination of SC.EXE, NET.EXE and update.inf:


[Product.Add.Reg]
HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CryptSvc", "Description", 0,"Provides three management services: Catalog Database Service, which confirms the signatures of Windows files; Protected Root Service, which adds and removes Trusted Root Certification Authority certificates from this computer; and Key Service, which helps enroll this computer for certificates. If this service is stopped, these management services will not function properly. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start."
HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CryptSvc\Parameters"
HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CryptSvc\Parameters", "ServiceDll", 0x00020000, "%SystemRoot%\SystemXP\cryptsvc.dll"
HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CryptSvc\Parameters", "ServiceMain", 0, "CryptServiceMain"
HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CryptSvc\Security"
HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CryptSvc\Security", "Security",0x01, 00,00,0e,00,01
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Svchost","CryptWp",0x00010000,"CryptSvc"

[ProcessesToRun]
"sc create CryptSvc binpath= ""%systemroot%\system32\svchost.exe -k CryptWp"" type= share start= auto displayname= ""Cryptographic Services"" depend= RpcSs"

[ProcessesToRunBeforeUninstall]
"net stop CryptSvc"
"sc delete CryptSvc"

All of this can be done through update.inf without using any other tools. This is an alternative way:


[Save.Reg.For.Uninstall]
HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CryptSvc"
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Svchost","CryptWp"

[Product.Add.Reg]
HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CryptSvc","Description",,"Provides key management services for this computer."
HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CryptSvc","Type",0x10001,0x20
HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CryptSvc","Start",0x10001,0x2
HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CryptSvc","ErrorControl",0x10001,0x1
HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CryptSvc","ImagePath",0x20000,"system32\svchost.exe -k CryptWp"
HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CryptSvc","DisplayName",,"Cryptographic Services"
HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CryptSvc","DependOnService",0x10000,"RpcSs"
HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CryptSvc","ObjectName",,"LocalSystem"
HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CryptSvc\Parameters","ServiceDll",0x20000,"%%SystemRoot%%\SystemXP\cryptsvc.dll"
HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CryptSvc\Parameters","ServiceMain",,"CryptServiceMain"
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Svchost","CryptWp",0x10000,"CryptSvc"

The key point is that in "ImagePath" you don't need to specify a full path as it automatically assumes that the path is inside %systemroot% so "system32\svchost.exe -k CryptWp" is enough.

The crash reason is the ImageList structure of windows 2000 is different from XP's.
You can run it with the follwoing way.
* download Windows XP MS12-048:
* extract WindowsXP-KB2691442-x86-XXX.exe /x
* copy shell32.dll to %ProgramFiles%\FreeFileSync\Bin
@blackwingcat
FreeFileSync doesn't work with kernel v21a It works in a "stock" system. After installing the kernel it doesn't even start.
DRWatson error from Event Viewer:
The application, , generated an application error The error occurred on 09/08/2012 @ 09:13:55.507 The exception generated was c0000005 at address 02691535 (getIconByIndex)

I'm still unable to make FreeFileSync start Nothing happens even after copying shell32.dll from XP's KB2691442 to the Bin folder. Does it work on your computer?

**blackwingcat** · November 6, 2012

Yes, I could run it.

You can use shlwaxp.dll and shellxp.dllwhich are inclueded in itunes installer for WIndows 2000.

and plz set dynamic link mode with fcwin.

I'm still unable to make FreeFileSync start Nothing happens even after copying shell32.dll from XP's KB2691442 to the Bin folder. Does it work on your computer?

**tomasz86** · November 6, 2012

I'm still unable to make it run.

I've changed dependencies like this:

rplbfile FreeFileSync_Win32.exe shell32.dll shellXP.dll

and tried to start it both with shell32.dll (renamed to shellXP.dll) from KB2691442 and shellXP.dll from KDW. There's no error in the Event Viewer or in DrWatson but the program just doesn't start. Nothing happens after double-clicking on it

I wonder whether it would be possible to just make it work normally without changing anything. FreeFileSync itself does work in a stock Win2k...

**gerry9** · November 7, 2012

@Blackwingcat

Hello Blackwingcat! One of the reasons I install Windows 2k is to use legacy software - could the installation of KernelEx or Kernel Core break compatibility of DOS/WIN3.1/WIN9x applications and games?

And for anybody willing to reply, what exactly is the difference between KernelEx and Kernel Core? It's hard to find info..

**tomasz86** · November 7, 2012

I've done more testing regarding FreeFileSync. If I install the kernel without shell32.dll then FreeFileSync works. If the new shell32.dll is installed then it doesn't work no matter how I change the dependencies. It just doesn't start

DrWatson shows this error:

The application, , generated an application error The error occurred on 11/07/2012 @ 16:41:11.511 The exception generated was c0000005 at address 01D41535 (getIconByIndex)

Edit: After doing more testing I've found out that FreeFileSync works with:

shell32.dll 5.0.3900.7171 (KB935839-v17c)

but is broken when

shell32.dll 5.0.3900.7177

or newer is installed.

Hi.

I think the Extended kernel and extended core keep compatibility.

Extended kernel is Windows API Extender.

Extended Core is Kernel (for Driver) Exntender.

@Blackwingcat
Hello Blackwingcat! One of the reasons I install Windows 2k is to use legacy software - could the installation of KernelEx or Kernel Core break compatibility of DOS/WIN3.1/WIN9x applications and games?
And for anybody willing to reply, what exactly is the difference between KernelEx and Kernel Core? It's hard to find info..

Hi.

The error came from Thumbnail_Win32.dll.

you must change the link in Thumbnail_Win32.dll.

If you want more my help, plz see my blog article in 7 hours.

I'm still unable to make it run.
I've changed dependencies like this:
rplbfile FreeFileSync_Win32.exe shell32.dll shellXP.dll
and tried to start it both with shell32.dll (renamed to shellXP.dll) from KB2691442 and shellXP.dll from KDW. There's no error in the Event Viewer or in DrWatson but the program just doesn't start. Nothing happens after double-clicking on it
I wonder whether it would be possible to just make it work normally without changing anything. FreeFileSync itself does work in a stock Win2k...

Thank you! So far no problems with version 22j. Running programs from 1994 to 2012 natively!
