Around versions 4.1.30/4.2/4.3 they implementing something called "hardening" which checks the digital signatures of certain system files. I tried signing my files, but the cert chain terminated "too early" for VB. So try these newer builds with hardening removed: https://forum.ru-board.com/topic.cgi?forum=5&topic=49006&start=2160#17 I downloaded and installed VirtualBox(No hardering) 5.2/6.0/6.1 on Windows Vista, create VM and starting........ Error.
Vistapocalypse Posted December 31, 2020 Posted December 31, 2020 It might be a lot simpler to use a newer OS as host for a Vista VM, instead of the other way around. 1
yoltboy01 Posted December 31, 2020 Posted December 31, 2020 Happy new year guys! I hope Vista will see great improvements through extended kernel this year 1
win32 Posted January 1, 2021 Author Posted January 1, 2021 There is a new extended kernel version released. Development was hindered greatly by the struggle to make new x86 shell32 functions well, function. ntdll is the source of that discontent and the secret may lie in either the Server 2003 version or even one from a later Vista build. Most x86 programs rely on the shell32 functions, which means that there will not be much in the way of new x86 programs working aside from what has been shown already. However, SetThreadErrorMode has been stabilized on x86 and WMP 11 x86 (the default WMP on Vista x64 as well) is working again (x64 version continued to work anyway). TryAcquireSRWLockShared is implemented on both Vista x86 and x64; there were several programs I'm aware of asking for it. 3

JaredFix Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) Where is the download link to this extended kernel. can you send me a link. Edited January 1, 2021 by JaredFix

win32 Posted January 1, 2021 Author Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) The installer has been added and files have been updated in the same Mega folder as usual. kernel32 is updated both on x64 and x86, as is new x86 wrappers, ntext and ntk32.dll. I thought I had done it last night, but it seems that I somehow distracted myself enough from actually uploading it. Edited January 1, 2021 by win32 3

gerona12 Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 I replaced ExKernel with a new version and uTorrent, Adobe Reader stopped running.

Try uTorrent 2.2.1 or qBittorrent. I don't use any PDF readers, as every modern browser has one built in, and even Microsoft Office can work as one
