Try install new Printer:rolleyes:. Last working ver on 2000 is from build Whistler 2410

 

Better update: Disk Defraggler from build 2296/2410/2456 (compatible with 2000) DLLS: drgui, dfrgres, dfrgsnap

no problem even server 2003 and XP can work , there are two missing functions in NTPRINT.DLL : PSetupSetDriverPlatform
PSetupFreeMem blackwingcat will add them  ;)

I liked what Blackwingcat did, use the XP and 2003 dll's as comdlg32.dll and printui.dll ..., it is really interesting and I see it a big step forward.

hey, sorry if this is not the right place to talk about this, but mypal68 (v68.13.2b) doesn't seem to be working for me with v3.1h of KernelEx, when I attempt to open it I get the error "mypal.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program.". MSVCTR is set to NT6 Series and COMCTL32 is set to 5.82 Series, the rest of the extended kernel options are the defaults. The computer is a Dell Latitude D630 (Core 2 Duo T7250, 320GB 5400RPM HDD, 4GB DDR2 RAM)

@piotrhn Update: changing icon view is fixed in extended kernel v3.1j6, but unfortunately, in this version, comdlg32.dll and printui.dll are back to their Windows 2000 versions. (after they were Windows XP versions)

Hi. I'm trying to localize Extended Kernel in a language other than English and Japanese.
http://blog.livedoor.jp/blackwingcat/archives/1989811.html - Although @blackwingcat wrote localization guide but honestly, it's definitely better than nothing, but not written in detail. Unless you're familiar with the PE format and the components of Windows, it's probably hard to understand.

So I'm tracking the sources of language-dependent files to get correct ImageBase address and Resources) and trying to follow the guide properly. (The first version of guide was written in 2014, but no one seems to have followed it properly so far :huh:) My goal is to make a complete easy-to-follow localization guide within this year.

More information coming soon!

Here's how I did it a few months ago:

1. I unpacked the contents of the English version of KEX into a separate folder.

2. Went through every single .dll and .exe of the package with Resource Hacker, replacing the contents of "Menu", "Dialog", "String Table" and "Message Table" with the contents from already localized system-native versions of these .dlls.

3. In update.inf I changed the "LangTypeValue=" so that the installer worked.

And that's it. Didn't even repackage it back or anything, just ran setup.exe and installed it. Editing all the files took me awhile, but it worked in the end.

Basically I want to do the same thing. However, BWC said that without ImageBase address and other changes, he could not guarantee normal operation and full localization.
You can find that some files (for example, dnsapi.dll) don't have resource (except for version info), but the Japanese and English versions have different ImageBases.
