Added IsProcessInJob in kernel32

* Sorry , v16 is still Japanese only.
English and Traditional Chinese version v15r2 are released.

But I can't debug English version.
Will anybody check if they work ?
(Don't install different language patch !)

Although I think there is no problem in v2 kernel, not sure about v5 kernel
Because of the risk, I hope that you install it on VMWare.

* The following is Action when BSoD appears,
- Enter Edit mode the Virtual Machine.
- Select target Hard disk.
- Select Map in Utility.
- Uncheck Readonly
- Copy kernel32.dll from Z:\Windows\$NtUninstallKB935839-v5$\ to to Z:\Windows\system32\ (Perhaps not Windows but Winnt).
- Close Z Drive
- Unmap Drive


Following functions. are extended on v5 kernel.

- DecodePointer
- EncodePointer
- GetNativeSystemInfo
- GetProcessHandleCount
- SetDllDirectoryW
- IsWow64Process

Following functions. are also extended on v6/7 kernel.

- IsWow64Message
- CheckRemoteDebuggerPresent
- SetDllDirectoryA
- GetModuleHandleExW
- InterlockedPopEntrySList
- InterlockedPushEntrySList
- InitializeSListHead
- InterlockedFlushSList
- QueryDepthSList


Following functions. are also extended on v8 kernel.
(You must use customized msvcr80.dll and msvcr90.dll in v8 package)

- FindActCtxSectionStringA
- FindActCtxSectionStringW

If v5 kernel has no problem, some programs which compiled on VS2010 work on Windows 2000.

Great news!
Thank you
I hope you can build the Chinese version or support all the language like kernelEx9x.

[blackwingcat]

Hi, 123123123.

Which Version Chinese is?

So..., one needs to install both the v2, and v5?

Are there instructions for English speakers in the works?

[blackwingcat]

Hi HardDriv'n.

v5 include v2's changing.
I think v2 works no problem(stable version).
I want someone to test v5 English version.

Very very thanks!!!
Thank you!!!

The first program I've tested, or tried to install, is Chrome.

This was the output:

The procedure entry point RtlCaptureStackBackTrace could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll

I tried out the portable (already unpacked) version of the Chromium derivative 'SRWare Iron', and I got the same output.

I'll post back some other results later in the thread, unless of course you'd rather me PM you.

I just installed it on my Windows 2000 and because of it, I was able to install the DirectX 9.0c Jun 2010 package without any problems at all. I believe it relied on DecodePointer, which v2 doesn't fix but v5 does. I have a theory that if it was worked on a little more, that Windows Media Center for Windows 7 would run on Windows 2000, maybe. The error message was similar to EncodePointer that it was looking for in the kernel file but it wasn't that exactly. I can't remember offhand what it was. But I'm thinking this could lead to some great things soon. Great job, blackwingcat!

[blackwingcat]

Hi, HardDriv'n.

You had better use chrome installere for Windows 2000.
I released it on My blog.

To install SRWare Iron on Windows 2000 is more easy than chrome.

Sincerely.

Hi, SearanoX.

Is What is your saying about XBMC Media Center ?
XBMC 8.1 works on Windows 2000.

If it is another software, please tell me download link.

Sincerely.

Hi blackwingcat!

I haven't tried your software yet, I will do so soon. What I was referring to though was the Windows Media Center software that comes with Windows 7. If you copy the ehome folder which is located in C:\Windows\ehome and put it to a flash drive and copy it over to a Windows 2000 computer, it says its missing Encoding----Pointer. There was something in the middle of the two words but I can't remember offhand what they were. But I have a feeling if the kernel32 file was upgraded again, it's possible that WMC would run on Windows 2000. I don't know, I'm just guessing. But being able to install a DirectX package that originally won't run with the original kernel file with your upgraded one, I have a feeling this could have great possibilities to get things to run on Windows 2000 that was designed for Windows XP SP3 and higher.

[blackwingcat]

Hi, SearanoX.

If it is Windows 7 without WMC, because the application use many registry setting and registered services.
And there aren't only any kernel32's function miss link, but also msvcrt, advapi32, WINSTA, WTSAPI32, and shell32.

I made DirectX full package 2010 June version for Windows 2000.
You can get it from my blog
It also supports XInput , XACT and XAudio2.

BWC, do you have a list handy of what api's wmp10 needs that aren't in 2k? Curious anout what it's missing

[blackwingcat]

Hi WildBill.

I don't have the lists.
It requires msvcrt, kernel32, user32, advapi32 and rpcrt4 APIs.
If you want to know detail, please download WMP10 for Windows 2000 on my blog. (English, deutsch, polish, Japanese, T-Chinese are available)

Sincerely.

Just one question about dx installer. quartz.dll from dxnt.cab is japanese - maybe english version will be better?
I made repack based on your installer http://depositfiles....files/8vbzd5rxp (27 MB) it doesn't include mscrt.dll and dsound.dll. It just pack cab archives after unpacking.
So if smbd want to slipstream it into source he need to add mscrt.dll and dsound.dll into source and allow to install unsigned drivers.
Command line keys:
-gm2 silent install
-ai0 - standart install
-ai1 - faultrep install
-ai2 dx10 install
For example

dxW2kJ10xa.exe -gm2 -ai02

this will install silently standart dx + dx10

I want to translate v7 into Polish but I have one question.



As you can see there is a difference between these language versions. In the Polish one there is only one message table '1045' but in the Japanese one you have two - JPN 1041 and English 1033.

Should I delete one of them and translate the other one into Polish or should I translate both of them?

[Usher]

You cannot just replace any string with its Polish translation. It won't be properly displayed because of improper language code.
You must add Polish string with Polish language code, then you can delete strings in other languages for edited resource.

[dencorso]

And use Anolis Resourcer to do it. It's way more reliable than ResHacker.
