Hi all, here's just a short question from me:
is there any possibility to install apps which need 2000 or higher?
Thx

depends on what sort of app it is
some apps can be fooled
msi files be done easily
others can not
go to the kernel update thread that could help you

Some apps don't really require XP, just their installers do. Some apps don't even really require installation.
But as awergh said, it depends on the software product.

how, awergh?
try beta testing firefox 3.0 alpha 2 (or gran paradiso alpha 2)-
http://download.mozilla.org/?product=granp...&lang=en-US
Mozilla says FF 3.0 a2 requires Win2000/XP. try running this on a Win98/ME system and see what you get.
msi files can be edited by ocha 2 easily to remove version checkers but this does not mean they will work
ABBYY FineReader 8 installer (.msi file) can be edited with Orca and then installed on Win98.
I don't think Orca itself runs under the 9x platform.
Msis can be extracted easily with a command line tool called msix

Here's an image where you can see ABBYY FineReader, Orca and Win98.

Older Orca 1.x + 2.x versions run ok on all 9x OSes, as far as I am aware.Msis can be extracted easily with a command line tool called msix

hmmm... installed KUP v0.27 with unicode support, removed .msi checks for win9x with orca on finereader 8...
installation started but breaks later with 'unable to load unicows.dll' which is available in windows/system and also part of the finereade package.... some ideas someone?
Try to place another copy of unicows.dll in %windir%\system32 [%windir% = usually C\WINDOWS].
Do not delete the one from %windir%\system .
