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

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

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

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.p...w/QQ2008KB3.rar)did not run as well.

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...

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

Ignoring process 'msiexec.exe' as possible QT process...

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

Are you install 5 dlls ? And would you check your systems original 4 DLLs renamed Version ?

I checked QQ, and it installs some common dlls own folder.
Did you check 'Ez KD Registry' in fcwin2k ?
It doesn't need normal install.
if you check it, fcwin creates registry "SafeDllSearchMode" and sets value 0.
Please see following URL, if you want to know about it detail.
About SafeDllSearchMode

In the case if QQ installed illegal dlls, then it makes not to work.
You may be able to resolve to delete wrong dlls, installed by QQ, in it own folder. or check off fcwin 'Ez KD Registry'

If you didn't check dialog 'Ez KD Registry', then I'll research this problem more.

hi win2000,
I didn't check dialog 'Ez KD Registry' because I install KDW with the full mode but "QQ" can run in the original 2K without the KDW and now can not run with KDW installed.
I also find a programme "PPLive" didn't run properly.(http://www.xdowns.co...sp?softid=22231)

I found It spent many time ,when KDW kernel32.dll failed to load any dll in boot.
Then I separated debug function from debug version in KDW 0.67a.
I think the problem of speed is resolved.

hi win2000,
Thank you for the new release of the kernel32.dll . Now the boot problem and PPLIVE can run as well but QQ still can not use ?????? I actually do not know what is the matter with me ??????

[blackwingcat]

Hi,
I got QQ, but it has many function. and I don't know how to use it very well.
Therefore it is helpful for me to say how about trouble occured your PC.

Hi again,
I found what my main problem with installing QuickTime 7.5 was!
There is a file in the install package called "QuickTimeInstallerAdmin.exe" as well as the msi installer file.
I hadn't copied that to the folder I was running the installer from, and it seems that it won't work without it!

Anyway, the installer now completes, and asks for a function in shell32.dll.
Running KDLLINST.EXE in Ez Install mode fixed that of course!

I now have shell32.dll and shell2k.dll in the QuickTime folder.
The "ExcludeFromKnownDlls" registry key now contains -

kernel32.dll
user32.dll
shell32.dll
ole32.dll
advapi32.dll
ws2_32.dll
rpcrt4.dll
imagehlp.dll
msvcrt.dll
comdlg32.dll



All very encouraging, but unfortunately QuickTime still doesn't work!


When I run it, an error message pops up saying -

"QuickTime failed to initialise. Error # - 2096.
Please make sure QuickTime is properly installed on this computer."

Also, if I look at the QuickTime control panel, it tells me that I have version 0.0!
The file types and mime types windows are empty.
Also if I make any changes in the control panel they are not saved.
If I run "QTInfo.exe" it says that QuickTime is "Not Installed"!

So it obviously hasn't actually installed properly, even though the installer said that it had completed successfully.
I've tried doing repair installations, and although they apparently complete successfully, they make no difference.

I did some research on "Error #2096" and what came up was a problem with running in "compatibility mode" and says to switch compatibility mode off by changing the setting in the compatibility tab on the .exe file properties.
Well, there is no compatibility tab in the exe file properties, is that a Windows XP only thing?

Also there was some references to Error 2096 referring to an "unsupported processor".
Is that really likely (I run on dual 2.4GHz Zeons)?

When I clear the QT error message, I then get a message (from Norton Crashguard) about a crash in "GDI+ Window".
I don't know if that's any clue...........

Any suggestions?
Thanks again.........

Compatibilty mode exists on Windows 2000, but is not usable by default. To register the Compatibility mode, run:

Quote

regsvr32 %systemroot%\apppatch\slayerui.dll

Compatibilty mode may be applied to programs in Windows 2000 using shortcuts' Properties. Also, Winodws 2000 Support Tools includes an Application Compatibilty program that can set compatibilities.

Win2000, you are absolutely right!
I missed that last vital step.

IT WORKS!!!


You are a genius!
Thank you so much.

Hi again win2000,
Quicktime is still working fine.

I have now tried to install Windows Media Player 10 using KDW, and thought I'd give you some feedback.
You do have to install the XP kernel32.dll to the system32 folder for your installer to work, but as you say. once it's installed, you can use ez install to put the new kernel32.dll just in the WMP folder, restore the original Windows 2000 file to the system32 folder, and it continues working.

I would like to keep your later kernel32.dll file in system32, and I do have your user32.dll, shell32.dll and advapi32.dll files there, but I have a problem with one of the Norton Utilities that I use if I do this.
As I mentioned previously, the Norton Protected Recycle Bin service won't start with that version of kernel32.dll in the system32 folder.
At startup, it puts up an error message which says -



This error is presumably being caused by the new kernel32.dll file.
Is there any way around this?

Apart from this, Windows Media Player 10 is working under Windows 2000.
Great job!


I do have a couple of issues with that though, which I'd appreciate your feedback on.
Firstly, I now have no video preview thumbnails in the Windows Explorer, which I did have when WMP 9 was installed.
I quite like them and would like them back.
Do you know why they have gone and how to restore them?

The other thing that I'm puzzled at is that fact that there is no "Play Speed Settings" option under the "Enhancements " menu of my player. I've always been annoyed with WMP 9 that there is no frame by frame jog facility, and I thought that had been added in WMP 10.
It mentions it in the help file, but it isn't actually there on my player.
Any idea why?

Thanks for all your work.
I never thought that it would ever be possible to use later versions of QuickTime or WMP under Windows 2000, and I would always be stuck now with increasingly out of date versions.
You proved me wrong!
Cheers, Dave.
