Hi, I released KDW.

* Introduction *

KDW is Known DLL wrappers and support tools package.
It helps you can run some software designed for XP.


* The KDW mechanism *

software A.exe > kernel32.GetModuleHandleExA -> x Windows 2000 kernel32.dll
software A.exe > kernel32.GetModuleHandleExA -> o Windows XP kernel32.dll
software A.exe > kernel32.GetModuleHandleExA -> o KDW kernel32.dll -> Windows 2000 kernel2k.dll(renamed from kernel32.dll)

for example Windows Media Player 10  kdw.png ( 26.19K ) Number of downloads: 16


KDW has 2 modes.

1. Ez mode ... It applied in folder only mode. (Check Ez KD Registry . Click Ez Setting after reboot.) * It is safty.
2. Full mode ... Replace System file mode. (Install and reboot) * It has some risk.

*Norton and certain security software may intercept to replace OS file with Full mode.
If windows show blue screen after install KDW, you can restore system with copy install files from dllcache to system32.

* How to use fcwin2k ? *

If you look following message "*.exe is not a vaild win32 application.", fcwin2k can resolve the problem.
1. select executable file.
2. select OS windows 2000
3. check checksum and executable
4. click rewrite

And fcwin2k can patch automatic to msi file(Windows installer file).
1. select msi file.
2. check allow win2k and over write
3. click rewite

Hi win2000,
Does this work if you use KDW in "EZ" mode, or do you have to actually replace the system files?
Thanks, Dave.

Hi,
I released Simplified Chinese Version WMP10 installer for Windows 2000.
Here you are.
Simplified Chinese Version New

and English and Japanese version fixed bit.
I found there are a few localize mistake in inf files.
The release version is Build 4063a.

Hi,
Here is KDW manual before install WMP 10 for Win2000.







You may be able to use Ez mode after install WMP10.
At first Uninstall 4 files, kernel32, shell32, user32,and advapi32.
and please set Ez Install to folder "\Program Files\Windows Media Player".
If you want to use activeX, please copy iexplore.exe to "\Program Files\Windows Media Player"
and start from \Program Files\Windows Media Player\iexploer.exe when you want to watch Active X contents.

How to install foobar2000 on Windows 2000 with KDW

You can use foobar 2000 v 9.5.x.

 foobar1p.png ( 48.6K ) Number of downloads: 3

At first please run fcwin2k.exe and set foobar2000 installer file.(You can D&D the window to entry editbox.)
Next select OS Version XP, and press 'Compat Save'.
Then you can install foobar 2000 on your Windows 2000 PC.
You may delete this Setting to press CompatDel , after finished foobar2000 installation.

 foobar2p.png ( 89.03K ) Number of downloads: 2

foobar 2000 9.5.x requires extra function in user32.dll, shell32.dll, and uxtheme.dll.
Therefore you have to install 3 KDW Dlls.

But foobar 2000 can run KDW Ez install mode(not replace system files, only copy to target folder)

* Set Ez Install folder.
* Select target Dll files(in this case user32, shell32, and uxtheme)
* Check EZ KD Registry(Required reboot system) and SHFolder EXREG.
* Press Ez install.

Of cause you may use full install.

How to Install QuickTime 7.50 on Windows 2000

 qt1.png ( 9.98K ) Number of downloads: 1

At first, extract Quicktime.msi from QuicktimeInstaller.exe.
For example I used 'eo'.

 qt2.png ( 46.54K ) Number of downloads: 7

Next please run fcwin2k and D&D windows and check 'allow win2k' and 'overwrite' and 'msi exec'.

 qt4.png ( 5.32K ) Number of downloads: 2

Perhaps such Error dialog may appear.
You may ignore it (If you install kernel32 of KDW(not Ez mode), then it may not appear.)

 qt5.png ( 42.34K ) Number of downloads: 3

QuickTime requires extra function in shell32.dll.
Therefor you have to install shell32 of KDW(You can use Ez mode)
And you must run fcwin2k again and rewrite 'Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTime.qts'.
Check 'checksum', 'Ignore File Ext', and 'Special Rewrite', and press 'Rewrite'.

Then you can use Quick Time 7.50 on Windows 2000.

Hi win2000.
Just tried installing Quicktime 7.5 following the above, but when the installer ran, after telling me which folder it was going to install to, it just went to the following error message, and wouldn't go any further.

I tried again after using ez install to put your shell32.dll into the folder, but it didn't make any difference when I tried to install again.

Any idea what's wrong?
Thanks, Dave.

Hi,
Did you check Ez KD Registry, and reboot PC ?
Shell32.dll is one of Known Dll, and Windows Preferential load system32 folder Dll rather than current folder.
'Ez KD Registry' checking effects to make ignored Known Dlls.

Hi win2000,
Thanks to your contribute to the chinese editon of the windows media player 10 but when i installed the kdw in my chinese 2k the speed of the start was too slow and the program "QQ" (http://dl-sh-ocn-1.pchome.net/0g/2w/QQ2008KB3.rar)did not run as well.
Maybe somewrong with it ?

I've tried that, and everything seemed to do what it should do.
Your shell32.dll and shell2k.dll are in the Quicktime folder.
The "ExcludeFromKnownDlls" registry key contains kernel32.dll, user32.dll, shell32.dll, and advapi32.dll.
Still getting the same error message when the installer runs.
The "QTInstallCode.log" says -

QuickTimePreInstallProc Enter
Moving QTPrefs file (if necesary) to new location...
Getting QT preinstall info...
Getting QT process count...
Ignoring process 'msiexec.exe' as possible QT process...
Ignoring process 'msiexec.exe' as possible QT process...
Ignoring process 'msiexec.exe' as possible QT process...
Current QT processes = 0
GetQTProcessCount() reported 0 QT active processes.
Will check for QT version: 7.50.61.0
QT DLL path: "C:\W2K Program Files\QuickTime 7\QTSystem\QuickTime.qts"
Installed QT DLL "QuickTime.qts", version = 7.1.6.200
GetQTInstallInfo: Older QuickTime installed
GetQTInstallInfo: is QTPro - yes, upgrade would invalidate - no
Final result: 3 (error=0)
QuickTimePreInstallProc Exit (error=0)

Any more ideas?
Thanks, Dave.

Ummm, I think you have to uninstall Quicktime 7.1.6 at first.
This report shows that there is Active Quicktime process your PC.

My QTInstallCode.log is following.
############################
QuickTimeTerminateProc Enter
Getting QT process count...
Ignoring process 'msiexec.exe' as possible QT process...
Ignoring process 'msiexec.exe' as possible QT process...
Ignoring process 'msiexec.exe' as possible QT process...

GetQTProcessCount() reported 0 QT processes to terminate.
QuickTimeTerminateProc Exit (error=0)

If same error appears after old Quicktime, then Please search another install log in \Documents and Settings\(user)\Local Settings\Temp\MSI****.log
