This happened both when he used the same exact HFSLIP ISO as I had to install, as well as when he compiled using HFSLIP himself locally from a W2K ISO. I wonder why that would have happened, as it was so weird. I cloned my original OOBE snapshot and sent him the VDI file - that booted and worked just fine, and he's been using that. For some reason, after using HFSLIP, it would not install, setup just kept restarting and crashing. Something really weird was that I told a friend to follow the same steps as I to set up W2K in a VM so he can use it more, since his actual W2K machine is drastically underpowered (I think it has a Pentium 4 or something like that). Weird, since it works on that problematic machine under XP. UPDATE: Well, the same installation source that let me successfully install Office 2007 in a VM and on an Optiplex 745 under win2k keeps failing to do so on a ThinkPad T60, as certain reg keys are not added in (specifically dealing with licensing, which means it will stop working in a few days). We could then add XP's files and keep hex editing and hex editing our way to. However, the missing dependencies are in files such as ntdll and kernel32, which could make things difficult (you will temporarily break ntdll and kernel32 if you mess with it using extendapi). You might be interested in this program used to automatically redirect APIs, ExtendAPI: But none of the modified W7 DLLs could be hooked and it went nowhere. Only thing I can't do on W2K at this point is work with encrypted files, and since this is in a VM right now, sometimes there are audio issues after a while until reboot of the VM.īelieve me, that is really appealing, and I've tried the hex-editing trick en masse to try to run the games that come with Windows 7. I got it all set up just right and I even have all my email accounts in MailNews, now. So why not add the missing dependencies? That should be easier than conflicting DLL dependencies, right?īy the way, this is my first post from Windows 2000 on this site.
