[WIP] Windows Vista Extended Kernel


win32

Recommended Posts

after trying to install the new version  I got this in cmd https://ibb.co/6wjWGj8

the system boots without any error but msi afterburner will crash (even the latest version), steam isn't working* (latest ver) "Steam is no longer supported on your operating system version" and kaspersky 18.0.0.405 crashed 1 time but then after reopened it worked (needs more testing tho)

I tried the osver.ini trick but still nothing (I haven't tried it on the latest version of firefox tho but that's because I don't like the new UI)

What are the exact updates needed to run this? (Besides apr 2017 and the others that were needed for the last version)

*steam from 6 nov 2020 still works but csgo still fails calling the loader

They are the same as the previous version.

KERNELOL.DLL was not found

This should now be fixed in the latest installer. Although it is recommended that users who have already run the installer rename kernel32.dll.bak to kernelol.dll in syswow64.

Here are some more details for usage of osver.ini.

You can set settings per-application as above (set Enabled=1 as well), or set them for the entire system by making an entry appended with "[global]".

To accommodate every version checking method used by an application, several options are available. Unfortunately I also found that breakage became a significant possibility very quickly, so keep that in mind when using the version spoofers.

You can set these values to 1:

Win7SuperVerFix

Win8SuperVerFix

Win10SuperVerFix

FirefoxFix (a lighter version of Win7SuperVerFix)

You can also set these values:

MajorVersion

MinorVersion

BuildNumber

CSDVersion (the service pack string)

PlatformId (caution, as the standard value of 2 is used to indicate that the OS is Windows NT. 1 represents 9x and 0 represents Win32s)

For example, Firefox installers would need MinorVersion=1. You may have to briefly set it under [global] for installers that copy executables to a temp folder and do the version checks there.

Using Win7SuperVerFix seems to break opera, although setting the os version manually seems to work fine for it.

 

EDIT: Seems like even the win8ver doesnt work but on the other hand w10 does.

I need to restart to make it work?

The version spoofing takes effect when you save the file, so not at all.

MinorVersion=1 and BuildNumber=7601 in many cases. You may also need FirefoxFix=1 or Win7SuperVerFix=1. That is in addition to Enabled=1 of course.

I have a problem with Chrome 95, it says

The procedure entry point K32GetPerformanceInfo could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.DLL

Must be x86 Chrome. I implemented this function a long time ago on x64 and there is a Chromium 97 build somewhere working on Vista.
