GD 2W10 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 (edited) Hi, Whenever I try to upgrade Windows 95 to Windows 98 on a virtual machine on my MBP (I use macOS 12 on that), after the second reboot explorer.exe and crashes and I get the shell32.dll error. I’ve tried using VMWare and VirtualBox, but get the same error. How can I fix this? Attached is a screenshot below of my problem (not mine, but the same error).

jumper Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Shell32.dll has corruption in the Import tables. First entry, so probably the fault of UPX or other compression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kahenraz Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Confirmed that this is still a problem with VMware Workstation 16 Pro version 16.2.1. My CPU is a Ryzen 7 1800X with the latest update for my BIOS and Windows 11 host. I know this doesn't help, but it's another point of reference.
