Everytime I want to install any MSI-depending app (no matter if it's supported natively or with extended kernel), Windows Installer keeps crashing. I din't have this problem on previous releases of kernel. Have you tried this update? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/december-14-2021-kb5008274-monthly-rollup-e7eed5a2-1154-4af6-a3ec-1db61d66f967
December 29, 20214 yr Unfortunately when I try to install this update installer says that Windows modules installer must be updated (my system is fully patched to 2017, and have installed the 3 SHA-2 updates (KB4039648-v2, KB4493730 and KB4474419), do I need to install any additional patches to install that 2021 update/fix Windows Installer? Update: My friend reported the same issue (same system setup as mine). @win32 I think you can take a look at it. Edited December 29, 20214 yr by Ark_mage2180
December 30, 20214 yr This KB5008274 is very recent (december 2021). I don't know if the Extended Kernel is compatible with it The "Prerequisite" section of the Microsoft article says that this update also needs KB4538484 or KB4575904. The problem is not vanilla Windows related so no Windows update can help. Edited December 31, 20214 yr by TSNH

I don't use kaspersky or msi afterburner, but I'm sure Windows Installer errors don't occur for me. The only possible reason that comes to my mind is because I don't have 32 bit extended kernel installed. Edited December 31, 20214 yr by TSNH
December 31, 20214 yr How exactly do you guys get the OS Spoofing working on Vista? I tried that file with a global config and it didn't work.

January 4, 20224 yr Hi, @win32 I replaced the old kernel32.dll with my new kernel32.dll, and I applied all the advice you told me with this, the BsoD appeared in the startup of the system. I did not know the reason for this Do you have an idea? I have created a new version. and i uncheck the rebuild header option, and i press the rebuild checksum in all modification

I have created a new version. and i uncheck the rebuild header option, and i press the rebuild checksum in all modification I was always told that NT4 was exceptionally tough. I'm not even sure if the approaches we use for 2000 and Vista are applicable here. I used wrappers written in C for NT4 over kernel32. But that is a very touchy subject because of the potential sources of "inspiration" for the wrapper code.
January 4, 20224 yr Has anyone managed to get an AV package working with the new version installed? Panda and Avast are not happy
