ntvdmx64-master dos folder missing, you must set up the Razzle... #47

Hello,

Sorry for posting two issues in the same day, but it is a different one. I'm still trying to install your program on a Windows Server 2012 R2. I've downloaded the latest file in github, ntvdmx64-master.

I've run the patch first. It took 5 seconds. Then I ran the installation. I met a problem, looking for ANSI.SYS file.

So what I did is that I've taken an ansi.sys file from an other installation i set in the past. The installation continued. And then it tells me that it is looking for files in a dos folder, which does not exist in the ntvdm64-master. Other thing : On the SysWow64 and System32, the ANSI.SYS files were missing. I don't know why.

Can someone help me?

Did you follow the compilation instructions (there is even a video demonstrating it)? Looks like you forget to run mkrelease, maybe? Alternatively, see https://github.com/leecher1337/ntvdmx64/issues/7, it seems to be up to date

I'm going to try again, indeed I did not run mkrelease. Actually, I jumped the Compilation Steps, because it ran without these steps on one of my computers. And these steps are non-understandable for me (I'm not an expert user, just a student)

Well, due to legal reasons I cannot release a fully working copy here on github, as this would violate copyright and I don't want this repository to be DMCAed as this would be the end of this project. Fortunately, other people took the burden of compiling it for you ;-)

Ok I see. I tried to do it by myself. I successfully arrived until step 3a. Actually, the video was unfortunately cut after step 3.

When I do bld-ntos.cmd or bld.cmd , is that normal to have this? 1

And when I do mkrelease.bat, I have this error : "The specified path does not exist" (in french) dosmissing

Once again, now I have my dos folder, but it is empty. W:\ntvdmpatch\release\dos

There is a part 2 of the video where it continues. Someone also made a nice tutorial in one video where the steps are shown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unU7uyFJWmo

Hello,

I met the same problem as here #18 and I did as you said

Copy alias.exe in tools(HOSTARCH)\idw directory to your local system32 directory. e.g. If your host machine is x86, copy tools\i386\idw\alias.exe to %SystemRoot%\system32

But it did not work and still display "You must set up the Razzle build environment..."

Before this, when I did zSHtst.cmd, there was this : currentuser

Is that a problem? Should I have create a new user?

I tried this on a Windows 7 64 bit. Where is the problem?

leecher1337 commented 5 years ago

Building only works on Windows XP 32bit. I should have mentioned it in the Readme, but as I was originally referring to the OpenNT build instructions, I didn't mention it seperately. I will correct this missing information on the next update of the README file.

Okey, thanks for this information

Ah, can you put that notice in a more conspicuous location? Like at the beginning of that section, or maybe a NB at the top? It's kind of at the tail end of the src instructions right now. And I gotta be honest, in a large document where you're already skimming for the steps to take, it's easy to miss. But we have a compiled version available ( http://www.columbia.edu/~em36/ntvdmx64.html ) so it's not so bad. And it's not that I don't have access to XP, I do, it's just that setting it up would be a PITA (up to a couple hours of work to get an XP VM to the point where I can do 10 minutes of work? xP)

I really should get a few old OSes set up in permanent VMs that migrate with systems. Sometime.
