A few issues

[cesar300]

I have three questions:

• After installing this, the Thirteenag fixes for some games refuses to launch or crashes.
• When installing this in a spanish version of XP, after reboot the gui language changes to english. Any chance to update shell32.dll and maybe others from spanish version?
• Any improvements on wined3d? I want to run new games such as need for speed the run or sniper elite V2 without graphics corruption and slowdowns.

Thanks.

Sorry, I can't understand. All installers except the kernel (stand alone or not) I was succesfully installed on a spanish XP installation.

I don't know. I have to test more. I downloaded an original english ISO but I have to install it.

Hello guys, i will create updates for each language or try make a universal (if possible) language installer

Please include Chinese. There are lots of users on bilibili expecting for Chinese version.

Well, i missed some things with Kernel Installer/Standalone Installer: for prevent is not valid win32 application message, need patch kernel32 to use ntext instedead ntdll, because i made a hack on some nt function and prevent this message. Now i already fixed it, but, i don't pushed and not released a version. I will change kernelbase and kernel32 and will release new version. It will fix ntdll.dll required funtion too

@Lanurence666 , Changing LanguageValue=0x09 to LanguageValue=0x00 int those two ini files when installing kernel-alone.exe and kernel.exe solved the issue for me.

... not valid win32 application

If the application is built using visual studio, under Link->System, the minimal required verison must be set to 5.01 to support XP. Or maybe you can use the VC/.../editbin.exe to modify the exe. I think the XP compat layer is mainly used to solve the "Cannot locate Entry Point ..." erros.

I did a few test, it's great!

SciTE.exe : run normally, although there's a error message on startup:

---------------------------
DirectorExtension: SciTeByLibs.exe - Entry Point Not Found
---------------------------
The procedure entry point RtlIsCriticalSectionLockedByThread could not be located in the dynamic link library ntdll.dll. 
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

Notepad++ v8 : No error message, but the save-as dialog is broken and won't show up, newer versions of NPP is using custom dialog for it's save-as dialogs, which allows putting a custom check button in it.

It's occours on XP?

I have installed gta Vice City on a virtual machine with vmware and with one core api installed, throws unhandled exception and crashes. Without one core api installed works fine. What's the matter?

I love the new version 2.0, it's pretty awesome, and this is also my first attempt. But, there are some issues.

• After installing One-Core-API in the right installation order, on the Theme Properties, on Themes and Apperance tab, the sample preview shows up in a different language, and Security Center service stops working. Problem fixed.
• Firefox 53.0 installs and runs before Kernel Update is installed, but after Kernel Update is installed, upon launching it, it says "not a vaild win32 application" (same goes to dxdiag), even though I installed it using the 32 bit installer. Problem fixed.
• Adobe Acrobat Reader DC 2021 doesn't install, even if compatibility mode is set to Windows 7 SP1, it just says "application initalization error". Edit: I realized that I installed it using the online installer and not the offline installer, so I used the offline installer, and it actually works.
• I also tried to install a newer version of Vivaldi browser (1.0 is the last XP compatible version, it's also Chrome 49 based), for example, Vivaldi 1.1 (Chrome 50 based), the installer opens after setting to Windows 7 SP1, but it refuses to install Vivaldi 1.1 because an error comes up and says that the installer is "corrupted", and that I should download the installer again, even though it was already downloaded fully. The workaround for this is to extract the installer and run Vivaldi from the bin folder. (same applies to Opera and Chrome) I've found a way to install new Chromium-based browsers versions.

I installed One-Core-API Binaries in this order: App Compat -> Base Installer -> New Installer (Additional Dlls) -> D3d Installer -> API-SET installer

I hope in the next version, you get to solve issues mentioned in this comment, and if you don't understand my issues, I can send some screenshots. All of these was tested in a Windows XP SP3 VMware VM.

~~Firefox 53 has the titlebar buttons larger (Minimize, Maximize, Close), and uses a different font, instead of the system font: While Firefox 52 doesn't: But if i use Windows Classic theme and run Firefox 53, the buttons don't get larger.~~

Vivaldi 1.1.453.59 doesn't install, because of this error:

WinRAR installer (and WinRAR itself) has the graphics (marked in the screenshots below) displayed before One-Core-API is installed, but after One-Core-API is installed, these graphics are gone: Problem fixed.

@mina354 Which offline installer you successfully installed? Can you tell me the file name? I can't install adobe reader 2021 by using AcroRdrDC2100720091_MUI.exe on xp x64 sp2.

You need to extract AcroRdrDC2100720091_MUI.exe first using 7-zip, then open the Acrobat Reader MSI file with Orca, go to LaunchCondition and right click on it, and then select drop table, then save it. I installed it using AcroRdrDC2100720091_en_US.exe.

[Lanurence666]

As I modified AcroRead.msi, I have bypassed the compatibility error. However, in installation, there is a registry error. And when clicked OK, the installation rolled back.

[mina354]

In which package order did you install One-Core-API?

[Lanurence666]

App Compat -> Base Installer -> New Installer (Additional Dlls) -> D3d Installer -> API-SET installer->Kernel Update

[mina354]

You shouldn't install Kernel Update, as it breaks the app compatibility (you can't even run dxdiag, as it will say "not a vaild win32 application"). Install One-Core-API in this order: App Compat -> Base Installer -> New Installer (Additional Dlls) -> D3d Installer -> API-SET installer

You need to extract AcroRdrDC2100720091_MUI.exe first using 7-zip, then open the Acrobat Reader MSI file with Orca, go to LaunchCondition and right click on it, and then select drop table, then save it. I installed it using AcroRdrDC2100720091_en_US.exe.

I also forgot to mention, changing VersionNT to 501 also works. We just needed to prevent the OS version block.

Well, since all problem are fixed or have a workaround, this issue will be closed.
