Software compatible with Windows Vista Extended Kernel


WinClient5270

Recommended Posts


Good news! The latest version of Basilisk Browser works on Vista with extended kernel ( XP and Vista were officially not supported ). I used the 64-bit Asia/Japan installer package and extracted it and then followed the same method used to make Firefox 68, 78, 79 etc. run on Vista with Basilisk. I've not tested addons or themes though.385630215_basiliskworks!.thumb.JPG.56e4077d633ab410cbf0899088fd8fbb.JPG

Hey everyone! First time posting here!

 With the help of Win32, I was able to install Kernel Extension on my ThinkPad with Vista Ultimate. It's amazing that Vista is usable in 2020, I never thought I would see this.

Waterfox, as well as Chromium works (both newest versions). I tried getting Spotify to work but I cannot get the installer to open, nor with CFF Explorer.

I made with Nativefier Discord app, it works but I have to relog everytime I open the app (there is a command to put basic https username and password, haven't tried that yet).

If we can get Teams or Office (2013 and higher) to work, that would be amazing.

 

Thank you for keeping Vista alive!

Hmm, I extracted Teams setup and all I have is Updater.exe.

 Do I need to download it from somewhere else?

You need to extract the file "Teams-1.3.00.26064-full.nupkg". After the file is extracted, go to the folder "lib" and after the folder "net45"  and click "Teams.exe".

Alright it's working now! Thank you so much!

I tried getting Spotify with Nativefier, unfortunately I can't get it to work. I also tried basic username and password argument for Discord, but it still requires me to login after closing the app.

Besides that everything works on a real hardware!

I got Firefox and Waterfox to work, but how did you make Chromium run? I could not get chromium 73 onwards to even open. Are there updated versions of win32's kernel files? I so, where to obtain?

Oh, I don't know where did you get your files?

It just worked (after changing to 0000 in CFF Explorer of course) out of the box. Themes work, but like any other version extensions still won't install.

I obtained the files from the description in the install tutorial YT video made by @WinClient5270. Maybe they are from July.

Well, those are the newest files then. I used them for my installation of Vista too.

Also, I just tried getting into call on Teams but seems like this doesn't work.

Here's the error:

Calls work from Chromium though just fine.

Calls on Chromium.
