Ok that's nice, wich files do you need to do a compatible version with my Windows (portuguese). Also you need them from windows 2000 or XP? Thanks.

I would like to translate the program also, let me know if you want to.

[blackwingcat]

You must not replace Windows 2000 dlls with XP ones excluding part ones! because they have linked in a complicated functions.
If you want to relace it , you beforehand use dependency walker.

If I want to make portuguese version WMP10 I need some translation several sentences.
But my developed Main PC broken with overheat, and I'll buy new one next a few weeks.
I think it can start are next month

Yu can try running:

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %SystemRoot%\inf\wmp.inf,Uninstall

The DRM may not be uninstalled, however.

Try this, as suggested on Win2000's blog.
Run Win2000's WMP10 installer again.
When the dialogue box "Detect Media Player 10, Delete it and continue?", comes up, hit OK.
Let it finish, and then just cancel the install when the WMP10 installer splash screen come up.
Worked for me, and I'm now back to WMP9 as before.

Damm... That did something but not unnistalled it at all.. Everytime that I try open the install program, I receive the follow a message that it can isntall it because an error occured in installation, and to I restar the computer again, when I restar it shows me the same message, and now I don't have Windows Media Player.

Hope that "Win2000" update the program and dll to work with other languages soon, I am interested in give any file to help him to dlls work in Portuguese windows 2000.

The standalone installer for WMP9 is here -

Give that a try if you haven't already.

It don't let me install it because it says that I have an more recent version. :/

[Dave-H]

Unfortunately it looks as if you're going to have to do this the hard way!

You need to remove all the evidence of the previous installations so the WMP9 installer can't see them.
Cut and paste the Windows Media Player folder somewhere else away from within the Program Files folder.
Also remove all the files beginning with "wmp" from your system32 folder, and back them up somewhere.
Then open regedit, and find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer.
Right click and save this key to a backup file. Then delete the original key.
I would strongly advise this backing up process of the registry key and the WMP files, in case it all goes wrong and you have to restore the system back to as it was before. Just deleting them is a bit risky!
Then reboot, and try the WMP9 installer again.
With a bit of luck it will now work, and you'll have WMP9 back again.
Then you can delete your backups!
Good luck.
Dave.

It should be noted that Windows Media Player 9 includes Roxio or Adaptec (I forgot which version is actually used) CD burning engines.

If a newer version of the burning engines are installed on the same Windows instance and Windows Media Player 9 is then installed, a blue screen error will appear on reboot (and reboots into normal mode after that). The DivX Player (6.x versions) are examples of applications that use newer versions of the Roxio or Adaptec burning engines

Applications that Roxio or Adaptec burning engines should be installed in ascending order of the version of its included burning engine components.

There is almost no possibility.
Because my WindowsNT Machine isn't AT compatible but NEC-jp(It is dual boot Windows 2000).
Other my PCs(AT Compatible) wouldn't be installed WinNT4.

[blackwingcat]

Windows MediaPlayer files will be deleted when the dialogbox "Detected Media Player 10, Delete it and continue?" comes up,and press ok.
And you have to terminate WMP10 Splash Screen for installation WMP 7 or 9.

Hi all!

I wonder if anyone has tried using any of the Adobe CS3 apps (requires minimum WinXP) with the help KDW/FCWIN2K ? Especially Dreamweaver CS3...

I just wanted to say a huge Thank You! to win2000 for his hard work creating this program and his generosity in sharing it with us.

The problem of developers making their software XP only (when it's perfectly capable of running on Windows 2000) was becoming an increasing annoyance for me. It seems even small shareware programs are now starting to prevent Windows 2000 capability for no good reason at all.

A couple of months ago I heard about an API wrapper that was created for fixing gaming applications (but which supposedly also worked 'sometimes' for non-gaming apps too). By the time I got round to trying to download this API wrapper, the link was broken and the web site domain was no longer registered (http://win2kgaming.s...ewtopic.php?t=7). So I tried to search for alternative download links and that's when, by accident, I found KDW!

From what I can see, KDW is an even better solution than the one that I was originally looking for.

I have to admit that when I first looked at the KDW web site (and the instructions in this thread) I was really daunted by how complicated the whole process seemed to be, but having now got the hang of it, it's really not been that difficult so far. I just think the instructions are worded a bit confusingly because they're written by someone for whom English is not their native language and all the options shown at once on fcwin2k.exe is a bit scary.

Anyway, I have managed to patch a couple of XP only MSI installers (which allowed the software to work just fine without any further adjustment). There was a third program (Camtasia Studio) that installed fine after the MSI patch, but the executables would not run. So I patched the executables too and now all 6 applications run perfectly (and all it took was 2 button clicks!).

KDW has been a real life saver seeing as more and more software is needlessly being released in XP/Vista only format, so I just wanted to show my appreciation to win2000 for providing such a great fix for this problem.

Hear, hear!
