almawardi Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 where to find a kind of software like Win64s is an extension for 32-bit Windows (9x,XP) that allows the execution of 64-bit programs?
awergh Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 well for some programs they will work even if it says it cant you simply edit the msi with orca 2 and you may be able to run it.If a program requires dependencies in PSAPI.dll Tihiy provided a Dll which didnt depend on anything so you could fool the program.If you add an entry to HKEY_Local_Machine/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/Current Versioncalled Current Version and an entry of 5.1 you can also fool version checkers.

myelin Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 Gesture, you may try the Xeno86's kernel update project. This is the best option available. After installing it you may post on its thread and request features which are specific to I.E 7.HTH.
Petr Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 I tried this option but still unable to get internet explorer 7 - getting same routine error psapi.dll Besides my version is 98 10.4.2222Please read other threads here, it was definitely concluded that there is no chance to run IE7 on Windows 98.Petr

I am trying my best with all the possible version and opportunities to run IE7 on Windows 98 but repeated getting same error psapi.dll or by IE7 Beta it says version expired. Hope may be someone would bring new ideas or creation! Let's hope for the best. Thanks Petr and my regardsGesture, you may try the Xeno86's kernel update project. This is the best option available. After installing it you may post on its thread and request features which are specific to I.E 7.HTH.Dear HTHI tried with this Xeno86's kernel updateError :Installation modeDetected "Wininit.ini" file! Can't proceed! Please reboot first!
myelin Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 Dear HTHI tried with this Xeno86's kernel updateError :Installation modeDetected "Wininit.ini" file! Can't proceed! Please reboot first!Please tell me that you got offended by HTH . Which BTW means "Hope this helps". You do understand BTW; do'nt you .Anyway coming back to the topic. You could post that same installation error on Xeno's kernel update thread, a solution may be possible. Also Your thread says"Program written higher for xp/2000 how to integrate in 98SE" it does not say running I.E.7, you must find some way around Xeno's Kernel update or make your own. Post the things you have B) and people will help you.
awergh Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 heres a link to the dummy psapi.dll file that tihiy madehttp://rapidshare.de/files/37326504/PSAPI.zip.html
