Molecule Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) yo! tomasz86while searching for last version videolan to run on 2k, I stumbled on VLC not running in 2KVLC install was producing an entry point error "The procedure entry point HeapSetInformation could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll"the 2nd post points to an official M$ hotfix that it seems we have all somehow missed ... XP Low Fragmentation Heap Algorithm is Available for 2000I didn't see 816542 posted on your comprehensive HF list, and there's no mention of it in any blog on msfn.org either ...I've also encountered the error, so it's apparently fairly common ... it might make be a good HF to add, and it might even (or yikes! it might not) help with BWC's important work on 2K kernel ...edit -- add it's an SP5 hotfixM$ email states "For your convenience, we put the hotfix that you requested on an HTTP site. You can download the hotfix from this site without us filling up your e-mail inbox."KB Article Number(s): 816542Language: EnglishPlatform: i386Location: hotfixv4.microsoft.com/Windows%202000/sp5/PKG38115/2195/free/File name: 126663_ENU_i386_zip.exeFile size: 7,210,656File dates: mostly June 2003 Edited October 17, 2012 by Molecule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomasz86 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 This hotfix is old and obsolete. All files included in it are available in newer versions elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molecule Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 that's good to hear! thought I'd better check in early rather than later since I couldn't find itthat was quite a list of files related to a (simple?) heap changethe changes were apparently not all "internal" to kernel32 (which suprised me)all the more respect due to Wildbill and BWC for their work on the 2K kernel upgrades!
