Tried the x64 JRE 16.0.1 version (on vista x64 ofc) and I get the same error as you do 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winvispixp Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 (edited) When is the next ex. kernel update? I simply can't understand what is going on with the current version: I got it working 1 time and then when I reinstalled the OS (wanted to dual boot with xp but i changed my mind) the same way it won't run I've reinstalled vista and all of its updates 3 times today + the 2 updates for sha2 support and each time I run the cmd script (with admin rights) it says "The system cannot find the file specified" at the end. After restarting the laptop it complains about some files being missing Also why does the installer say that the minimum update level should be April 2017 when it needs sha2 support? (i should've mentioned earlier but forgot) On my pc it worked on the first try and wasn't even expecting it Edited June 27, 2021 by winvispixp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergiaws Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 I have the same issues, but I didn't installed the sha2 updates if Windows update don't offered me these updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergiaws Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 As far as I know, you can install the jdk manually without using the installer (maybe for java 8 and newer). People used to install jdk 8 in Windows XP that way, so maybe it's possible to do the same thing with jdk 16? I'll also try the msi with the spoofer created by BlackWingCat.

JRE 16.0.1 works on vista with the extended kernel installed. Minecraft 1.17 now launches with Multimc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SigmaTel71 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Well, no luck even on real hardware. I tried WMI spoofing to make the game think I run Windows 7, but it didn't work too. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vistapocalypse Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I’m not a gamer, but the driver for the 8600 GT may not support hardware acceleration (although an older driver might). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DXDiag reports that all hardware accelerations are enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the change is undocumented for a long time. But who knows. Edited July 1, 2021 by burd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
