KernelEx for Win2000

[anton12]

"I tried same options as you but it works fine X3.
How about turn off (inactive) your security soft temporary ?"

Hello Blackwingcat,
thanks for your answer.

I did as proposed by you:

Firewall (Kerio) deactivated
Virus scanner (Clamwin)  deactivated

The result is the same:  SumatraPDF 3.1.2.0  won't work (start) with v3.1h

And one more problem with v3.1h :

KM76.4.7-Goanna-20230513 by RoyTam1

"K-Meleon.exe  has generated errors and will be closed by Windows."

I returned back to v3.0f (same options) and SumatraPDF 3.1.2.0 and

KM76.4.7-Goanna-20230513 work fine again .

Can you reproduce it on the VM environment ?

Welcome back, Mr Cat.
Yes, I can. I apologise for such a long delay. I was dragged out of it by some other stuff I didn't mention here.

So, as you asked, I've reproduced the issue. The first 4 pictures are on the VM environment without applying KEx. The last 4 are after applying one with the following settings:

MSVCRT NT6 Series
COMCTL32 5.82

The rest of the settings are default.

As you can see, on the first picture I can successfully connect to root\cimv2. It's after the KernelEx it gives me the "The stub received bad data" error.

Please look into this issue.

hi , according to my experience today and i ask blackwingcat in problem i think like your problem but with more details , the problem is because you don't have KB891861-v2 installed in your envirenement. extended kernel required if you use original 2000SP4.iso without any updates then you should to have: IE6SP1(not SP0->if sp0 the installation of kernelEX will not work)+KB891861-v2 (Update Rollup 1 for Windows 2000 SP4(v2)) installed, i hope this will solve your problem.

Yes, it did! All of my problems have finally vanished! Thank you very much!

Also, the WinSetupFromUSB finally works! No more of that nasty error !

Would be very nice if it was a prerequisite for installation of the KEx itself.

UPD: It works only if you set the User Environment Variable to >XP (>5.1.2600) using the tool supplied with KEx (NNNT4NT5.EXE).

no , it work even without NNNT4NT5.EXE , use fcwin2k and save compatibility with XP mode this method is safe because it apply in application which you want run not in OS.

>the use of NNNT4NT5.EXE without returning to 2000 variable in the end of use , it cause problem in the OS after restart with XP variable.

Greetings. How to CORRECTLY install files with WLU extension?

I know it can be unpacked by WinRAR. To install "Windows2000-KB935839-v31hM-x86-ENU.wlu" - i used:

setup.cmd,

then

update\setup.exe,

then

NNN4NT5.exe

and restarted the computer each time. It works. But is there a more correct way to install?

I know about the existence of "wlupdate v1.5b", but I can't download it anywhere - all links are dead.

Help ))
