Hi again!

I managed to create a "clean" user profile, which is pretty much un-customised, although it does still load the "all users" programs of course.

Just wanted to pass on that the problem with user32.dll is still present logging off and on using that profile, if that signifies anything!

I will do some experiments with earlier versions of the KDW user32.dll when I get around to it, which won't be until next week now.
Dave.

Might I make a suggestion for KDW? I noticed that a lot of the buttons haven't been translated into English.

Hi WildBill.

Where does this Problem occure ?
I think if check English checkbox, The dialog box is translated on KDWInstaller and fcwin.

Mr Win2000. I wanted to make a note, that tonight I have finally achieved success installing Google Chrome 2.0 on my trusty workhorse Windows 2000 workstation! Using your crm2k018.zip tool. I made a detailed post about it here: http://nspeaks.com/348/google-chrome-on-wi.../#comment-10282

Here is the contents of that post:

Hardcore Windows 2000 user here. Since Chrome came out, the only version I could ever get working was 0.2.149.30. I’ve been using the crap out of it for over 6 months. Newer versions always crashed or failed to install.

I am SHOCKED to report SUCCESS tonight installing 2.0.166.1 with blackwingcat’s crm2k018.zip. This whole thing was so **** confusing, especially since I speak English not Japanese. Here is what I did. Googled until I found the full 2.0.166.1 install (sorry I can’t recall where I got it). It is 9MB (NOT 500KB). I renamed that ChromeSetup.exe and put it in my default download folder (goofy requirement of blackwingcat’s hack). Then I ran the crm2k018 CHROME2K.exe hack unpacked in a folder. I had to click each of the buttons from top to bottom. As you proceed, they should light up.

The install itself happens fast and sometimes doesn’t happen at all. Get to your Docs & Settings Local Data Google Chrome Application folder and verify that the new 2.0 EXE is there and installed. I had to run the install a few times before it worked (WTF?).

The last step is “Install USer32/Advpi32/Kernel32 Wrapper” (yeah it has a typo, not very confidence-inspiring…). After that you MUST reboot. Then try launching the new Chrome exe right out of the app directory (in your Docs & Settings Local Settings).

I’m thinking about writing a high quality, native-English, edited web page for this problem so nobody else has to waste 2 hours like I just did!

The Google Chrome can’t install with overwrite older version. I add a button to delete version information.

after version 1.8 . you don’t have to rename from Mini_Installer.exe to ChromeSetup.exe .
The ‘Set Compatible Registry’ Button support Mini_Installer.exe

BTW, was someone able to install SRware Iron, which is based on Chromium 2.0.178 (build 15300)?

Thanks for this new version! I had to search for quite a while to find it, so many 404 broken links pointing to your old blog. Here is a direct link for other readers: http://w2k.livedoor....rc/crm2k019.zip

I checked out the QtWeb: Awesome!! Thank you for showing me this!

Blackwingcat, I just wanted to say, thanks for making that ATI 48xx driver. I recently bought an Asus EAH4890 TOP card and your driver is working great on my Win2k box.

Hi win2000.

Got some new information about my logging off problem.
I just sent you a PM about it.
Dave.

Hey win2000/blackwingcat,

Just letting you know; letting KDW set the ExcludeFromKnownDlls value breaks Daedalus. It also breaks ICONDESK's transparent desktop icon labels (continuous flickering).

However, without it Windows Media Player 10 will not work.

It also messes up the Start Menu's icons, but no other icons that I found were affected.

Btw, you should update the first post to 078e.
As well as the KDWINST file, it says 074.

Hi,Colonel O'Neill

KDW 0.78d and 0.78e have critical bug.
please use 0.78c or 0.78f

kdw set Icondesk's transparent on registry, look trans.reg.

New version WMP10 can work without install KDW in system.

Does the Start Menu's icons trouble occure again after deleting shelliconcache?

Alright, I'm using KDW 0.78f now, and have applied the icon label transparency fix.

However, the icons have become 24-bit like before, and the start menu icons are still random.





Does it mean there is a new MP10 installer, or do I just tell the existing one to use the new KDW Binary folder from 0.78f?

[blackwingcat]

Do you use VistaPack ,Colonel O'Neill ?

I want to try to set look like your environment.

Please try to use EzInstall mode.

1. check EzKD Reg with KDllInst.
2. uninstall KDW shell32.dll from system.
3. install shell32.dll to target application folder with KDllInst ezmode.

I reshacked my own shell32.dll, and use it whenever version numbers match.

I also didn't have KDllInst replace anything where my existing file was newer than the one to replace it. Shell32.dll was not replaced.

I'll upload you shell32.dll if necessary.

[blackwingcat]

Hi, Colonel O'Neill

What does 'reshacked' mean ?
If KDllInst can't replace shell32.dll you set temporarily disable Security software and try again.
or copy from \WINNT\system32\dllcache\shell32.dll to \winnt\system32\shell32.dll on Recovery console.

I changed the icons in shell32.dll myself with Resource Hacker

I can't figure out how to use EzInstall mode; the button is disabled.
I'm not sure which folder to refer in the top part.

[blackwingcat]

Please tell me What its icon wrongs in shell32.dll resource.
I want to correct it.

EzInstall mode:
1. Check EZ KD Reg
2. Reboot
3. Select target folder.
4. Select used DLL
5. Press EzInstall Button.
6. It finishes Copy

Mr BlackWingCat, you are a hero for all us Die hard Windows 2000 users. As I mentioned earlier on post #174, your KDW/crm2k019 kit got Google Chrome 2.0.166 working on my Windows 2000 - thank you very much!

But I still have a few issues, for instance Right-Click Chrome Title Bar, "Task manager" and then Drag the bottom of the window vertically downwards, then the window is not painted properly...

At first it works perfect:

But after dragging its broken:

Also there are some ToolTip bugs when pointing at Tabs in Chrome.

Can I just swap the advapixp.dll 2008/11/22, kernelxp.dll 2009/05/24, and userxp.dll 2009/03/19 that came with chrm2k019, and update to the newest ones from KDW 078f? (all from 2009/08/xx)

note: v3.0 and 4.0 require Win2000-KB915985-v2

Thx

Great! Using your installer v2.1 and Mulder's Chromium Updater ( http://mulder.dummwi...ojects#chromium ) I was able to post this message from Chromium 4.0.204.0 (Developer Build 24436)
