The error message that appears when opening Firefox x64 installer is: "Sorry, Firefox can’t be installed. This version of Firefox requires Microsoft Windows 7 x64 or newer. Please click the OK button for additional information."

@thepwrtank18 You need to spoof the OS, or spoof the installer itself to install Firefox. Consult my post here for more information:

It's still asking for Windows 7+.

You need to create osver.ini file, and then put it in C:\Windows before you can spoof. Have you created that file first? What Extended Kernel version you have installed?

Hello again ! @win32 I need your help if you have some time. I tried you 398.11 driver on Windows Vista with Extended kernel installed on a GT1030 , which from my understanding is now somewhat supported. Although when I rebooted I ran into the frozen 'orb' . I tried unistalling and installing again , but with no effect. Then someone suggested to mod myself a 382.xx driver (maybe that could work) and said to ask you what should I exactly mod. I have the GDDR5 version of the GT1030. So can you please help mod the driver I need to get the GPU to work ? Sorry if this is not the topic to ask here , but I couldn't re-create one myself because I ran into some kind of error.

The 38x drivers actually added a function that was removed from the 39x versions, which I did not add yet. Oddly enough I do have notes about 382/384 drivers, which apparently reached a black screen instead of outright crashing (or producing an orb). I suppose I could add it soon.

The orb may be caused by conflicts with other drivers. Do you have a discrete NIC and/or are you using unofficial USB 3.x drivers?

No. Nothing of that kind of stuff.

strnlen. Maybe it could be temporarily replaced by strlen.

There's no such function in the driver 382.16 I suggested for him, and I already gave him precise instructions what to mod. The only thing left is NVCPL. But the driver boots fine, see my topic and the link for 382.16 is there. I wouldn't suggest drivers with missing functions. The crap from Nvidia website has more missing functions.

You are correct. I see that 382.16 is an "iCafe" driver and that most of the NVCPL components were removed, even though the inf still has all the "instructions" to install it.

I did make a package combining the 382.16 driver with NVCPL components from 381.65 (untested for now because I am still working on job objects), but if that is not required, the byte sequences in the other thread are valid for modding the driver.

1 - Thanks, I know it because I tested myself on a GT1030 I bought because of him and wrote you about it.

2 - Icafe usually remove the "security" crap functions from the kernel, yes,

3 - Indeed they are ! I found them a long time ago . So I don't know why he can't launch any of these drivers.

EDIT: Invite you to move the discussion back to my drivers .
