Phenomic Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Setup says, "Firefox can't be installed. This version of Firefox requires a processor with SSE2 support...". The app compatibility launcher doesn't help. My W2k is a virtual machine, and current Firefox is 48.0.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dencorso Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Does your actual processor support SSE2 support? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phenomic Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) Yeah, it's a Skylake i7-6700 ...and of course I have Windows2000-UURollup-v11-d20131122-x86-ENU Edited December 13, 2016 by Phenomic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dencorso Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 That's good news! Then the problem is the virtual processor your hypervisor is showing to FF does not support SSE2. In this case all you need to do is to find out how to configure your hypervisor to show a newer virtual processor (one that supports SSE2). Now, as to how exactly do you do that, it depends on which hypervisor are you using, and then, they certainly have a support forum that can offer you more detailed specific support and help.

Phenomic Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 VirtualBox runs FF 50.0.2 in Windows 10 just fine. Could it be Firefox has dropped Win2k even with UU rollup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebolt Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 This has been discussed in the W2k SP5 thread and the KernelEx thread; it’s possible that you need BWC KernelEx 2.8h or newer, but do check out the info for yourself, as it’s not something I’ve had the opportunity to deal with myself just yet. http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/156521-unofficial-sp-52-for-microsoft-windows-2000-wip/?do=findComment&comment=1128596http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/149233-kernelex-for-win2000/?do=findComment&comment=1128451 Solution: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/149233-kernelex-for-win2000/?do=findComment&comment=1130369 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phenomic Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) Thank you, that worked, link is: http://w2k.flxsrv.org/cgi-bin/dl.cgi?file=Windows2000-KB935839-v28hG-x86-ENU.exe A dialog box popped before install with "Kernel Options", I left everything at default. Amazing, how does BWC compile the kernel without source code? Edited December 13, 2016 by Phenomic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebolt Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 He is amazing, that’s for sure, and it’s good you were able to install his new kernel on top of your UUR, as sometimes that can be problematic. And maybe, just maybe, a new UUR is in the offing…another something to look forward to in the season of hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phenomic Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 I see there is a newer version http://w2k.flxsrv.org/cgi-bin/dl.cgi?file=Windows2000-KB935839-v28i-x86-ENU.exe and http://w2k.flxsrv.org/cgi-bin/dl.cgi?file=Windows2000-KB935839-v28iG-x86-ENU.exe Which one should I use? Should I uninstall the 28hG first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I uninstall the 28hG first? I downloaded this file but it complains about needing KB2722913. That is a 3.0GB file containing all security updates in 2012. I guess the UURollup from 2014 does not include this, since I am running that version (Windows2000-UURollup-v11-d20141130-x86-ENU.7z). Is there a way to access just the IE6.0SP1-KB2722913-WINDOWS2000-X86-ENU.EXE by itself? Edited January 7, 2017 by sdfox7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phenomic Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 Yes there are a couple of IE6 updates that are necessary, you download & install them separately from MS or tomasz86 archive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
