Download and install Visual Studio C++ 2015 Redistributable from the link given https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=48145

 

System Requirements:- Windows XP or later. This will work for Windows Vista Extended Kernel.

most of the recent versions of Firefox require at minimum the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable, install that and it should start.

Hello I have a problem when I try to launch firefox.exe error appears and so my question is how I can fix this? I tried with many versions, but and they doesn't work. I installed the extended kernel on my old laptop correctly.

Now you can install the Visual C++ all in one, it is required as you can install Firefox, but the Media Foundation Platform Setup is required to make more applications work like the latest Mozilla Firefox. Since Firefox ended the support for Windows 7 or Windows 8, or the latest Mozilla Firefox is compatible with Windows 10 or newer, I recommend you to spoof the Windows 10 version to Windows Vista.

I doubt Mozilla Firefox 116 or higher would work on Vista Extended Kernel... or it's supported? I heard some rumors that even Firefox 115 is not working there.

You need to have the latest version of Windows Vista Extended Kernel, the Media Foundation Platform installed, Visual C++ 2003 - 2022 installed as well as if you want Firefox 115, you need to spoof the version from Windows 7 ( N.T. 6.1 build 7601 ), or if you want Firefox 116, you need to spoof the version from Windows 10 ( N.T. 10.0 build 19045 ).

Have y'all tried CapCut Desktop on Windows Vista Extended Kernel? Mine is installed successfully.

However, after installing, the launcher (CapCut.exe) won't open... and if I open the CapCut's another executable file, I got this error message...

Again and again, it's still about the missing dependency functions...

Hopefully, in 2024, the new extended Kernel will release then all the missing dependencies will be eliminated.

I think most do not understand how kernel development is a hard task and how it works. Its a lot of difficult code and its very doubtful there are not security fixes along the whole kernel and dependencies, stability and bugfixes along implementing the functions. I'm actually happy win32 is actually providing us with free updates alike to service packs.

The most important thing, the 32-bit shell defects from March 2023 builds also must be fixed!

Don't restore your system32 files by pressing R. Otherwise when you install the March 2023 Extended Kernel, your 32 bit shells will be defect.

honestly i wouldnt know if such an issue is caused by the installer's restore function because i just use SFC if i need the stock system files restored

Has anyone else had an issue with their search, themes, explorer, and run as administrator on the 3/6 and 3/9 versions? the Oct 2022 version works just fine.

Here is a dark theme for Windows Vista that I have perfected to the best of my ability.
Unzip the files in the Windows\Resources\Themes folder and double click on the aero-black.

Unfortunately your theme didn't work for me. Looks the same as the Vista default one.

The package contains aero-black.theme and Aero (not Aero-black) folder so perhaps you uploaded vanilla one by accident

Vice versa, but in March 6 build, audio in Chromium-based browsers doesn't work, but according to your screenshots in topic, you're using Firefox, so it's not big deal in your case.
