KernelEx 2022 (Kex22) Test Versions (4.22.26.2)


jumper

Recommended Posts


KernelEx 4.5.2015 is not an open beta. Registration at MSFN.org is required! This encourages feedback, allows me to track the downloads, and supports MSFN.org.

Please do not host copies of my update test files on other sites. Of course, anyone who rebuilds some or all of the project themself may host their builds wherever they choose. KernelEx is an open-source project. :-)

And that brings us to the development timeline. I finally have some time, so I'd like to finalize this branch by the end of November, and release it as KernelEx 4.5.2016 in December as a complete package for end users. Discussion of what else that is ready and should go into it is highly encouraged: Iphlpapi5? NetapiEx? More stubs or Kexstubs itself? Any Kexaux updates? Property sheet changes? DebugWindow/ApiLogger tweaks?

In the meantime, I'm already working on Kex 4.17 with: dynamic, never-fail DLL and API stub creation; cascading SxS KnownDLLs for MSVCRT and IE by target OS; expanded get_api_table2 interface with OS and level-of-support info.

Hi Jumper, would love to test iphlpapi5 !!
Besides that, the ntdll.dll section in my kstub is now very long because of the ReactOS files.
So can you maybe add stubs for :
NtCompleteConnectPort=z2
NtConnectPort=
NtCreateEvent=
NtCreateIoCompletion=
NtCreateKey=z2
NtCreateNamedPipeFile=
NtCreatePort=z2
NtCreateSection=

Are you with 4.17 then reaching XP SP3 level ?

Jumper, do I understand correct, that you mean the dll files newly hosted by drugwash and not the compiled installers and code he hosted nearly two years ago? Drugwash removed the whole KernelEX folder.

@MiKl
Even after transferring hundreds of definitions to kexbases, I still have over 450 entries in my stubs.ini, including 188 for Ntdll!

I'll add these Ntdll stubs to Kexbases:
NtAcceptConnectPort=r0xC0000002s6
NtCompleteConnectPort=r0xC0000002s1
NtConnectPort=r0xC0000002s8
NtCreatePort=r0xC0000002s5
NtListenPort=r0xC0000002s2
NtCreateEvent=r0xC0000002s5
NtCreateIoCompletion=r0xC0000002s4
NtCreateKey=r0xC0000002s7
NtCreateNamedPipeFile=r0xC0000002s14
NtCreateSection=r0xC0000002s7


Because you are using ROS, try forwarding like:
NtConnectPort=>ROS\Ntdll:

> Are you with 4.17 then reaching XP SP3 level ?
Better, but not fully. 4.17 will have a more flexible architecture that will allow better support for XP, Vista, Win7, and Win8.

I just found out that playing MP3 files in Windows Media Player 9 crashes it with:

ModName: kexcom.dll

ModVer: 0.0.0.0

Offset: 00001f5d

This bug apparently existed in the original kernelex, but it did get patched:

http://remood.org:8080/kernelex/info/f6500c4cda47164170664bc88a6d438b97fa57c5

Something to do with the unofficial update?
EDIT:

I did a complete reinstall of kernelex, added the Kstub822, and added the Release.13 and now it's working fine. Interesting...

Thanks Jumper, it was fun going through all these functions !! One forward seem to have fixed one little issue I had with SeaMonkey's email-suite.
And the machine seem to be a little bit faster now. Especially OpenOffice loads rather quick.
One stub (ntdll.RtlTimeToSecondsSince1970) forwarded to ROS broke (at least) VLC Player so I continue do use the classic 'z2'.

However, no progress on the other bigger problems - like running SeaMonkey higher than 2.6.1 !
Thank you for your continuing support.

@Kippykip: Thanks for the kexCOM bugfix alert. I added the PersistStream support fix to CShellLink::GetClassID and also to ::IsDirty (these two functions service multiple object types). I also added more robust parameter checking to all CShellLink functions (but they probably don't need it unless invoked from a buggy app!) And I also added a kexCOM version resource and debug strings.

@MiKl: This is good news. Please post to the KEXT topic the details about the email fix and your kexstubs output logs for SeaMonkey and OpenOffice.

@Aiko: Stay tuned--we'll need help with testing/bug reporting, debugging, and sometimes research on MSDN or with Google.

hi, is this updated kernelex version a direct replacement to any of the older kernelex versions? i noticed it's only 195 KB instead of 206 KB found in the older kernelex 4.5.2 i have in my archived files, giving me a tiny bit more room to work with if i can replace it with the older one.

As I understand it, you still have to have KernelEx 4.5.2 installed to be able to use the later versions, as they are updates to that.
I think 4.5.2 gives the system the basic functionality of KernelEx, and the later updates supply later dlls for it to work with.
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong!

@cov3rt: Please edit your post to remove the quote, it's superfluous. TIA. Thanks!

Yes, this package is still a collection of updated files to be copied over a standard 4.5.2 installation. While the 195KB package size is slightly smaller than the full 4.5.2 installer, once the six files are extracted you'll see that they are much larger than the originals they replace. This is because they contain some extra information to aid in debugging (in addition to all the new code).

ok, thanks for the info, i also removed the extra information in my previous post.

Here are my first results.
Most KernelEx depending apps that I use like VLC player seem to work fine with the latest release !!

Unfortunately have some problems with SeaMonkey 2.6.1.
- kexbases seem to cause a crash of SeaMonkey when playing flash videos. Unfortunately no entries in faultlog.
- kexbasen seem to cause a crash of SeaMonkey when trying to print. Below two different crashlogs because I tested different printer drivers.  (No 'stapelwerte' from the second tested driver)
