The two can co-exist.  I leave it at that.

Thanks Dave, this topic suits in that section more than the Windows 7 section.

So Supermium, to be clear only works on extended kernel?

It should work on regular Windows 7 with SP1 (it always worked in my VM with nothing but SP1, but some users complained about it not loading because of missing delay-load module; my second release should solve that). Vista needs the extended kernel however.

Great! Does it have DRM?

[NotHereToPlayGames]

Not by default.

Found 'em ! Not seeing the source code for the latest 116, though.

The latest they have is the 113 source code.

EDIT : This one should play all videos (allegedly).

Thanks @D.Draker but this version of chrome doesn't work...

The procedure entry point DiscardVirtualMemory could not be located in the dynamic link library... chrome.dll

Of course ! It's non-modded versions (the links were given for win32, mostly). 

For Win 7/8 you need to use v.109 from these links.

For Vista with Kernel - 110 or 111.

I’m not aware of what you mean by “default” can you give a browser DRM? I thought only Google's Permission was needed for widevine

"Default" means I unzipped it and ran as-is, did not add any extensions, and it does not play DRM content.

On W8, you need a version with WidevineCdm probably.

It is not working on Windows 7. Whenever I launch Supermium (after running mini_installer.exe), it just launches a Supermium window for a second then closes. Is this a bug? Can you have a look at it? Thanks.

I had originally tested with a Windows 7 install with a low update level, but I have received complaints about it not working with ESU updates. Do you have those? For that reason I will also start testing (and debugging) with ESU updates.
