The osver.ini file isn't created automatically when you install Extended Kernel. It has to be created manually.

Yes I know tnat, also for all people reading that should this thread have discord? Its quite big project and its hard to have everything there on msfn, also the live support will be great.

is the only antivirus known to work with this extended kernel

Dr.Web Security Space 12.0 is working too. Actually, any version of Dr.Web Security Space that is compatible with Windows Vista and newer. But you'd need to get an update for SHA-256 support, which is kindly provided in the instructions on the website. https://support.drweb.com/sha2

... And there, they proudly state:

Dr.Web continues to consistently support outdated Windows versions

which is something they definitely deserve a praise for! :worship: If only other "security" vendors :angry: had followed their example...

Also, their Security Space keys do work on Symbian 9.x versions. And you still can get recent VDBs. On a long-dead mobile OS you still get updates!
If you ever going to add some protection to your Windows 98 SE machine, go for Dr.Web 5.0. For Windows 2000 SP4 — Dr.Web Security Space 7. Both still get their VDB updates, but you have to be careful about 98SE: there can be serious performance impacts.

I finally quite using the vista extended kernal (it was unstable on my computer) and decided to move to using x86 based vista and it's way more stable (at least for me)
