KernelEx for Win2000


Recommended Posts

Office problem is fixed! However, it seems as though the start menu ignores special effects such as sliding up or fading in and out. Other menus and tooltips follow the rules but the start menu has for some reason stopped obeying your selection.

Something seems to be wrong in the new shlwapi.dll 6.0.2800.2016.

1) After installing it icons get changed, ex.

even though it should be a Notepad++ icon.

2) Also when you slipstream the file and install Windows you get this on first boot:

Active Desktop is enabled by default although it shouldn't.

When did it occur from ?

It seems IE5 system.

Is it IE6 ?

Extended Kernel v15/16/v17/20 requires IE6.

Does it improve when you delete ShellIconchache file and reboot ?

Hi there,

I'm new to this forum and discovered it while trying to understand why some Win2000 compatible software like CCleaner crashed because of a missing entry point in Kernel32.dll.

I tried to visit the site, but it's way too confusing for me who can't read japanese (or chinese) and make up my mind between the numerous versions listed.

I'm running Windows 2000 Professional in french language with most (if not all) updates and service packs.

Anyone has a list of stable versions ?

Would be nice to test any stable and french compatible version (I can translate from english if needed).

I also use DriveImage to backup my Win2000 partition and have a bootable rescue CD, so can afford a serious crash (I just made a backup before posting there, so no risks on my side).

Do you know no problem version ?

(I stoped to release v20-v20h and released v20i)

The last version I had installed was v20c and I had just installed v20g2.

Did you mix with wild bill kernel ?

@blackwingcat

It was an IE6 based system. The icon problem persisted after reboot. I had to replace the file with its older version to fix it.

The stable version are extended kernel v10/v15 and kernel core v10.

If I make French version, i need newest version these dlls.

@blackwingcat

Yes, it was mixed with the WB kernel.

1. IE6 + WB kernel32.dll 5.0.2195.7154 + shlwapi.dll 6.0.2800.2015 = no problem

2. IE6 + WB kernel32.dll 5.0.2195.7154 + shlwapi.dll 6.0.2800.2016 = bugs

I'll try to check what happens with your kernel32.dll.

Well, like I said, I have v20c installed and it seems like there was no issues with that release. I can't say with any of them between that and v20g2 though since I didn't nab them.

There is no problem on My environment VMWare and Real.

(with Iron)

Does you replace other files to WB Kernel ?

@blackwingcat

The newest Chromium 21 (SRWare Iron) crashes on start. Have you got any idea what the problem is about? The problem happens with both your kernel and the WB kernel.

I fixed SearanoX's problem on v20k2 . :)

It may be fixed tomasz86's problem.

Looks great!! Except one problem, I didn't experiment with anything else really but I tried the Windows 7 sidebar and Vista MS Paint and when it finds dependency issues, most of the text is in japanese rather than english. This is v20k2

Edit: It's in other places too. Like the explorer bar which I've attached.

Edit 2: It seems I'm also having a few other issues, such as a few InstallShield installations not running, such involve NVIDIA display drivers (the NVIDIA Control Panel to be more precise which has an error code of 1152) And another attempt on VideoStudio x2 which gives me a 1158 error. Others seem to run and others do not. It seems random for whatever reason.

I couldn't test anything else yet but I've also noticed that some messages are displayed in Japanese. Then I checked the language of shlwapi.dll... and it's Japanese. It seems that BlackWingCat added the JPN file to the ENU version of the kernel :angel

I fixed on v20k3/4
