I've just tested Firefox 100.0b9 and 101.0a1 (released today) on: Windows 7 sp1 with no updates newer than 2015 installed (KB3033929 SHA-2 update) Vista 6003 with extended kernel and KB4474419 SHA-2 update Both versions work on Windows 7 On Vista only firefox 100 works, while 101 displays the following error when any tab is opened: I don't know if this error is SHA-2 related at all as Vista actually utilizes a newer SHA-2 update. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is always corrected in time for the late betas (b7-b9) and the general release. I haven't been able to track it down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m having this problem too; whenever I try to install just about anything, I’ll get the same exact “Windows Installer has crashed” message. I try installing Halo off CD-ROM, and the crash message appears about 2-3 times throughout the setup. It’ll “install” in spite of this, but the game won’t launch at all if you try opening it. It installs fine on other systems, and other CD-ROM games I’ve tried installing have had no success (notably Fable: TLC). I’ve also had other funky behaviour as well. I tried the Vista version of Spotify; without extended kernel it works, but with it installed it’ll crash upon launch and I’ll receive a Data Execution Prevention notification about it in the corner, regardless of whether DEP is turned on or off. This is with Vista fully updated (including Server ‘08 updates) and the latest extended kernel, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ark_mage2180 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Yup, I noticed that Spotify is not working too. And other funny bug is fact that sometimes Firefox launches "by itself". Anyone noticed this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.Draker Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Yep , several later chromes were not launching , true . But I replaced some stupid function and it opened no probs.

How did you manage to do it ? As far as I know , the later updates won't install without a proper ESU licence. They just "configuring" endlessly. "If you are installing this update on a device that is running an edition that is not supported for ESU." Like this one , see : known issues. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/august-10-2021-kb5005095-security-only-update-a324fdbb-ce90-4c4d-8d9d-e9f2f2a57e0e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 32 bit part of it is very broken now. I am trying to fix it. However, I consider the new 64 bit enhancements to be finished.
