@deomsh Yes, it should work on 95rtm too, it just needs to have c runtime installed.

Here's the second fix for xnview https://filebin.net/i4dvch4eyiktta2d, once you apply it you won't need SH95UPD, but it must be freshly installed xnview extract the package to C:\ and run the XnvFix.bat. Only, the solution to the webp.dll problem will have to wait a bit.

even when those two missing functions are replaced the webp.dll after loading tries to call some other functions, those functions do not exist in 9x Kernel32.dll, one of potential solutions would be to replace the GetProcAaddress function and when it tries to call some of those non-existent functions, the call is redirected to another dll that provides the necessary functions. @deomsh SH95UPD has only a few functions it inserts into the Shell32.dll, that wouldn't solve the problem.

@deomsh I'm sure there are many more missing functions because i've tested on other systems as well and it doesn't work on Win98, and it doesn't work on WinMe either. But it works on Win2k. We may need a different approach to this problem.

I asked Google and it says this: XnView Classic (1.98 and later): Support was originally available only via an external plug-in that used Google's libwebp.dll Upd. a little more searching and i found that XnView 2.13 Full comes with webp.dll but that dll also needs to be patched.

I'm not good at explaining things but i'll try to explain. 1. When you install the full version of XnView 2.13 go to the folder where you installed it and there, among other things you will see the xnview.exe it is the executable file - the actual program. That is the file you need to replace because it cannot automagically use the functions from my dll, so i made the necessary modifications to that program file to be able to use the functions from my dll file. 2. Why the program file is at around 4.9 MB? That shouldn't be a question for me, i'm not the author of that program. 3. ...package zipped at 1.6 MB... Well, that's the point of zipping files, so they take up less space. 4. I am neither the author nor a user of that program, so i don't know what image/file formats it supports. I just made the necessary changes to make the program work on the Win95 system...

@deomsh Well, i did it on OSR2.5 so IE came with it and that's why when i checked what functions were missing i only saw those two, i can implement others if needed. Yes i can, but i thought it was self-explanatory. Go to the folder where XnView is installed and unzip the files from my package there. KHelper.dll is a dll file i developed, a file that contains the missing functions. Maybe i should make a video on how to?

You have the right to install a retail version of Windows on your PC regardless of whether you previously had a previous version of Windows or not. The upgrade version is for people who already have a previous version of Windows on their PCs. The OEM version is for computer manufacturers and system builders. OEMs are required to use an OEM preinstall kit (OPK) to prepare the installation with all necessary drivers and/or software and configurations for their PCs. Any other use is a violation of the license terms. Many people in the US and most people in the rest of the world were using Windows 95 illegally, because most people bought upgrade versions because they were cheaper, but only those who already had a previous version of Windows or DOS on their PC were actually entitled to install the Windows 95 upgrade version, and no one except OEMs and System Builders had the right to install the OEM version of Windows. Poor Microsoft. Even so, thanks to Windows 95, Microsoft managed to become the most powerful company at the time.

@NotHereToPlayGames So, do you have the "Windows 95 for PCs Without Windows" on a CD?? Nobody has it.

No. The retail version of Windows 95 - "Windows 95 for PCs Without Windows" was only available on floppy disks. OEM and upgrade versions were available on CDs.

Here -> https://web.archive.org/web/*/www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/bin/* But you will probably have to try the files and try from snapshots of different dates because it usually happens that not all files are archived well...

Which functions from the Win98 kernel32.dll do you need? It's not as simple as it may seems, many functions in kernel32.dll require certain global variables and special functions whose locations - addresses are hardcoded and they are initialized when the kernel starts, and the locations of these special variables and functions in the Win95 system are not the same as in Win98.

I found the Italian version. https://web.archive.org/web/20010810133157/http://msvaus.www.conxion.com:80/download/internkeybdpro/Install/1.2/WinMe/it/itp12ita.EXE and english version of Intelli Point/Type 1.1 https://web.archive.org/web/20040410203216/http://download.microsoft.com/download/internkeybdpro/install/1.1/win98/en-us/itproeng.exe The links for the English version of 1.2 are dead unfortunately. https://web.archive.org/web/20000817033821/http://www.microsoft.com/KEYBOARD/download/pc/install_1.2.htm https://web.archive.org/web/20011117165248*/http://download.microsoft.com:80/download/internkeybdpro/Install/1.2/WinMe/en-us/itp12eng.EXE Version 2.22 should work in win me because it works in win98 https://web.archive.org/web/20050712143156/http://download.microsoft.com/download/3/1/b/31b2ffcf-39b2-4f09-9540-f2d830b50930/ITP2_22EngALLMsi.exe
