I also don't know if Pale Moon will be able to build versions of their browser after version 12 since the switch to MSVC 2010 affects all Mozilla-based apps.

They're continuing with two forks/branches unlike Mozilla.

If you go to my PE Tool thread, toward the bottom is a rather long list of all of the API's that were added with the latest KB2393802 and KB2408429 patches. EncodePointer and DecodePointer are in the list, and I've tested them pretty thoroughly. The API's to watch out for are the SxS activation context API's: I've been working like crazy to add them to KB2393802-v9, but it's an enormous job. Let's hope Gecko v.13 doesn't need them.

Dumb question...
Will this affect Thunderbird or is it time
to hunt for an alternative?

The change will effect all Mozilla-based apps, including Firefox, SeaMonkey and Thunderbird. Plus, developers are in the process of removing the now dead-support code for Windows 2000 from Gecko since MSVC 2010 is incompatible with Win2k.

more specifically, Thunderbird 13 and Seamonkey 2.10.x will start using MSVC 2010 code, which will officially drop win2k & pre-XPSP2 support.

Thank you for telling me. I don't even know if SeaMonkey 2.10 will be renamed SeaMonkey 3.0 due to the use of MSVC 2010 code once it hits beta. MSVC 2010 will also drop support for Windows Server 2003 RTM as well.

You can find WildBill's kernel at bristols updates list. Look for KB2393802. Links to BlackWingCat's kernel & MS VC++ 2010 SP1 are already mentioned in this topic.

yeah right. I don't see any VC++ 2010 SP1 downloads there...or here.

and I'm not sure if blackwingcat made the unofficial KB2565063 (MS11-025) MSVC++ 2010 SP1 security patch and/or the unofficial KB2565057 (MS11-025) MS Visual Studio 2010 SP1 security patch. The KB2565063 & KB2565057 patches were revised 8/9/2011 to fix the problems found in their respective patches which were originally released 4/12/2011.
so far, he didn't make those for win2000, yet.

not happening at all, ppgrainbow. Seamonkey 2.10 is version 2.10.0 and not going to be renamed to 3.0.
Seamonkey 2.10.0 beta 1 was released about a week ago. and the next versions of Seamonkey will be 2.11 & 2.12 as noted on the MozillaWiki Releases page.

All MS VC++ DLL files (including the latest ones) are included in UURollup. They originally come from this addon.

I had already released newer VC++2010 SP1 for Windows 2000.

KB2627201(10.0.40219.363) and KB2639247(10.0.40219.369)
(KB2565057 is 10.0.40219.325)

@BlackWingCat:

Hello.

I see on your site two different files
(KB2639247)Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package v6 (for Windows 2000)
(KB2639247)Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package v3 (for Windows 2000 Ex Kernel)

I am unsure of the difference and what is meant by "Ex Kernel". Is the v6 file to be used WITH your Kernel installed and the v3 to be used WITHOUT your Kernel installed? Or do I have that backwards?
Or am I completely off-base and it has nothing to do with having your Kernel updates installed?

I am just looking into this because it is getting close to the June 5 release and I am not that familiar with installing any of the major Kernel updates available. My experience to date has only been with using the KDW wrapper to get around the adobe Flash installer issue.

Thank you

[blackwingcat]

Hi,

The version is not kernel version but also runtime package version.
If you install later v7 kernel , plz use the package for Windows 2000 Ex Kernel version.
(It was explained on my blog)
