RobinDX Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 You can use Regedit to change your 2000 to XP.And you can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurgelmeyer Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 I looked into this once. The executables link to functions in the windows kernel which are simply not available in W2k - some of those have to do with WPA, and are of course undocumented.Making it run requires significantly more than just cheating the version check - trust me. You'd need to either modify the binaries (it would be REALLY cute to make an Application Compatibility thingy which does this on the fly - modifying binaries at load time is a built in feature in W2k) - or you'd need to make a special edition of some NT kernel files, which "implements" the missing DLL entry points, and redirects all other entry points to the actual NT kernel DLL's. Not a simple task - but definately not impossible either. B) Best regards,Gurgelmeyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurgelmeyer Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 NopeI'll have to corret myself btw - the 5.1 specific entry points are now documented, and they are meant for code manifests - not necessarily WPA. Gurgelmeyer B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
