Yes I managed to instal it without a problem, thanks.

Wish I could say the same for Flash Player. Last year I had it working through something called the w2k wrapper but now the newer versions just won't instal with the wrapper. I just get the procedure entry point not found error message. So I have to switch over to my newer Windows 7 latop for most video content.

@conductor71

was using the wrapper as well. it worked fine up to v11.2.202.235 for Firefox and v11.4.402.287 for IE. after that I had the same issues that you described.

blackwingcat has been releasing and updating a v10.3 installer for w2k. it seems that v10.3 has been continually updated by adobe.. it may be an option to investigate.

you can find bwc's installer page here: I made the latest Adobe Flash Player 10.3 installer [BM]

use google translate if necessary

Thanks Yffffonz. I followed your link and have now managed to install BWC's January 2013 version of Flash 10.3.183.50. It is the first time in many months that I have had Flash working on my Win 2000 PC so I'm very happy, even though I've got the old picture stutter problem (it seems a lot of people have the same problem).

The only thing I would add is that it took me two attempts to get it installed properly. The second time I read the ReadMe file, but I have to admit that I found the ReadMe instructions a bit confusing. However, I realise that BWC doesn't have to do these things for us, so thanks anyway to BWC!

@conductor71, if you found the ReadMe confusing, but were able to get it to work, you might contribute to the community by posting an "improved" ReadMe so that others have better success.

Cheers and Regards

Apparently the last patch for Java 6 will be released on 19th February, so I am presuming that there might be one more patch still to follow after update 39?

@conductor71.. That is good to know. I guess at some point soon I (and others) will be investigating to install Java 7 on win2k.

@blackwingcat.. Is there available a "W2K Java 7 installer" similar to the one you created for Java 6? or will Java 7 only be able to be installed when using an extended kernel?

@bwc, tomasz
I have not researched yet the Java 7 requirements, but I am sure there are many around (like me) that do not really have the need for full blown extended kernel and who can get away with just using a few wrappers here or there.

anyway.. thanks for any info you can supply.

[blackwingcat]

I released it.

If you install Java 7 in your PC, When Java shows any Dialog, Java process stop with unknown reason as same as Google Chrome JavaScript Dialog.
So I would not want to install Java 7 to Windows 2000.
I think that We have to resolve the problem ato first

I read that Java 7 breaks Java 6 compatibility.

@blackwingcat

I see that you have updated the blog.livedoor page for "JRE 6 update 41 for Windows 2000", but it gives an error "File not Found in List" and to Report the issue.

edit: the link now works... thanks


Thanks again.

P.S. I also see from Feb 14 the information about "Adobe Flash Player 10.3.183.63", but on the blog.livedoor page the most recent version listed is "Adobe Flash 10.3.183.51 for Windows 2000/XP/2003 Feb.2013 "

It looks like that the bug 7166889 has been removed and GetSystemWow64DirectoryA will eventually not be removed in Java 6 as it is nearly End of Life.

And Java 6 Update 41 is going to be the last planned publicly released update. After this month is over, enterprises still running Java 6 will have to sign up for a contract with Oracle that will last through December 2016. Unfortunately, at that point, enterprises will be clearly out of luck.

Furthermore, Extended Support for Java 1.4.2 is coming after this month after which it will no longer be support at all.
