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

although Anolis Resourcer requires MS .NET Framework 2.0 or greater for it to work.

The problem here is not the improper display but a bluescreen when starting the system after installing the Japanese version of this kernel. I'm going to give it a one more try this week

For example, the English version v5 of BlackWingCat's kernel32 can be installed in a Polish system without any problems. If trying to do the same with the Japanese one, Windows does not boot.

Oh wow! A KernelEx for 2000? Nice! I'd love to test this on a 2000 machine.. If I had one.. D:

[NothingMuchHereToSay]

I just recently got 5 computers, 2 of which have Windows 2000 product keys, after successfully *using a disk I just so happen to have*, I installed Windows 2000 on one of them, legitimately.

Anyways, I installed Steam with a main exception error after restarting, I have downloaded your v5 of KernelEx for Windows 2000, I'll report back asap after this second restart.

[NothingMuchHereToSay]

Good news, everyone!

I am happy to report that Steam works flawlessly, at least with goldsrc games. Having a bit of trouble finding servers on TFC, but that might just be my Internet connection.

EDIT: Apparently TFC can't browse servers. As well as Half-Life 2: DeathMatch doesn't start at all since there's an error.

Here's the error:

I am waiting for simplified chinese V8 !

[tomasz86]

There is v10 available already but only in Japanese

I really hope BlackWingCat will eventually make an English version of the newest kernel.

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.

Hi blackwingcat!

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

What a greate job! It's works very well!

I'm wondering though, is the Japanese installer, JUST an installer in Japanese? Could we just install it on English versions of 2000, right?

No, you can't do it

English version is available only for kernel v5. The newest Japanese version is v10.

Hello cracks,

here still running a Windows 2000 professional computer, which I mainly use to play chess.

Several new engines come with a VC2008 runtime, the procedures require the Encode / Decode-pointers in the kernel32.dll.

An upgrade to Windows XP on this machine is not a question, because on this computer still runs other licensed software, which runs only under Windows 2000, this upgrades would cost much money.

I had even thought about the possibility to patch the kernel32.dll, but I lack the skills for it.

After appropriate research, I came across this forum, where blackwingcat has fortunately been made this work.

I've tried today, with Anolis, RESHACK and other resource editors make the Windows2000-KB935839-v5-x86-ENU.exe v5 run under a German Windows 2000 professional, but without success.

I’ve created with RESHACK under "Action / Save all resources" one all.rc for Kernel32.dll from Windows2000-KB935839-v5-x86-ENU.exe and the Kernel32.dll from my current system and the structures appear identical.

But at the point of writing the German resources into the new Kernel32.dll, I have failed.

It would be very nice, if someone could give me a hint, how I minimal patch this new Kernel32.dll, so it runs on my German Windows 2000 computer.

Best regards,
Markus

Lambda,

it's actually very easy and doesn't involve any resource hacking at all. Keep in mind that by installing the English kernel some system dialogs may change into English.

All you have to do is to

1. Download Windows2000-KB935839-v5a-x86-ENU.exe. It's an edited version of BWC's kernel v5 by me which follows the standard structure of M$ updates. It means that in can be slipstreamed by HFSLIP while the original one cannot. It's also easier to modify the contents of it (no CAB files inside).

2. Go to .\update folder and open update.inf.

3. Find [Strings]

4.Change these values

LangTypeValue           = 9
WSEDIR                  = "1033"

to your language. You have to find the appropriate ones for your language, ex. 15 and 1045 for Polish.

5. Run update.exe.

Be careful! It may not run on all language versions. I tested such an installation in a Polish system and it worked. I would guess that it will work in other European language versions too. It probably won't work for East Asian (CHN,KOR,JPN) versions as the Japanese kernel doesn't work in English Win2k.

I released v10 kernel for English.
But I can't test on English environment.
Please test it somebody ?

[Tommy]

I have tried v10 kernel and by my results, it doesn't work. When I tried launching it in a VM, the package itself gave me an error about not being a valid Win32 application. I opened it with WinZip and forced the installation via setup.cmd, I got it installed, but now I'm in a permanent reboot loop, it doesn't even reach the login prompt or GUI for that matter.

Thx.
I'll check this code again.

It seems to be working! The installer worked properly and I'm not stuck in an endless reboot. I haven't tested it extensively yet but I will do that now.

[blackwingcat]

Thank you very much.
I also released v11 Japanese Edition.
