FranceBB Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 You have to download everything from github and compile it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without instructions, and with a catch all ReactOS (outdated) README (and more docs from the same source): Quote ReactOS Version 0.3.x Updated Dec 16, 2006 I am probably getting too old for this kind of things , but all I can see is a large number of nice screenshots and a bunch of files largely (probably) an outdated fork of ReactOS. The probability that anyone, exception made for a handful of top-level programmers/hackers, already very familiar with ReactOS code and with Windows NT, can actually compile anything working from that is - in my personal estimation - so low that the Improbability Drive of the Heart of Gold could use it to go to both ends of the known Universe, twice. As said, nice screenshots . jaclaz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good, if you have actually checked each and every file (everything) against possible redistribution limitations, copyright infringements and/or IP violations of the "provided resources", we will take your motivated opinion, given also the vast experience you have in these matters as a green light. Dibya said it's fine. jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11ryanc Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Very intriguing project. But I haven't the slightest idea how to install it? Downloading the packages and extracting the resources onto XP x64 or Server 2003 x86 simply renders the OS unusable. Looking further on the dev's website, I found bootable ISO's. However it requires a product key to proceed. I must be very punctual here. I'm not asking how to illegally circumvent activation. But what is this OS/distro even based on? Would you activate it using a Server 2003 key? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r3muxd Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Is there documentation on how to install all of Shorthorn and the research kernel onto 2k3? Also, what's the point of the Main Development builds? Also, was Vista/7 RTM's interface ever ported? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
