Hi, thanks for all your hard work - this project is amazing!

I've been having a strange ongoing problem with what I believe is .NET Framework 4.0: OS install works fine, drivers are good, and the .NET AIO initially installs fine, too; however, running certain games or certain applications and then trying to run .NET 4 apps causes some kind of corruption that prevents any of them from running. Panda Dome, escan MWAV, and an AutoKMS for Office 2010 Ultimate are all affected by this AFAIK. Trying the WFP utility results in the text-title opening in a cmd window but never loading the menu. The only way to reverse it is with system restore.

Ik this is a vague issue, but has something like this happened before?

  @John Never happened before. Are you sure you did a clean installation by formatting your hard disk drive?

  @John I didn't had such a problem before. Try to reinstall and only install Panda Dome after a fresh installation without installing anything else.

  @Ramsey I appreciate your time! Unfortunately, that didn't work either. I tried a few different troubleshooting steps(Ik it's something wrong with the system as it's not application-specific) and I just can't nail down a culprit. I've worked around it by only using apps that don't utilize 4.0 and everything else has worked great. If it's relevant, a number of orphaned cmd.exe instances pile up in task manager and usually slow or prevent shutdown.

  @John Dead orphaned cmd.exe I've only seen when NTVDM (for 16bit exe) is out of resources and crashes badly. Looking at eventvrwe.exe System-logs may give you hints at whats up? Or perhaps EventViewer's application log?
  Not sure about Panda Dome since I never tried it, but if it's software to intercept other software, it usually comes with a bunch of side-effects.

Please Ramsey, PLEASE make an integral version of Windows XP x64.
Bake in all kinds of goodies like you did with XP Integral.
I think XP x86 is the ultimate in compatibility but XP x64 had one foot in the XP world and one foot in the modern 64 bit world being that its based on Server 2003 and Server 2003 if the base for Windows 7.

  @Mad Spaniard Half of the stuff including in this WinXP-x86-IE doesn't exist for WinXP-x64. And everyone that needs a WinXP-x64 should also be able to run Win10/11.

Has XP Integral reached end of the line updateswise? I suppose most important update for it would be a better browser to keep up with new web site protocols. Thanks.

Hi and thanks for making this available! I made a bootable USB out of the ISO file using WinSetupFromUsb. But when I boot and select option 1 (which is to search for hard disk drivers), it just shows in red: "No matching PCI/IDE found in driverpack.ini file" or something like that. Without that step, normally trying to install the OS gives a BSOD. Any way to resolve this?

Two mishaps during install.

Firstly, I have one of those multicard readers that preallocates drive letters.
Much to my dismay, my system drive ended up as H:\ instead of C:\.
If you have one of those fuckers plugged into mobo, yank it out before setup.

Secondly, my ethernet NIC(Atheros AR8131) got drivers out of the box, but will not detect cable plugged in.
I had older driver installer lying around, so that solved issue.

Specs:
- Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L v2 mobo, 4gb ram, Xeon Quad cpu
- Windows XP Professional SP3 x86 - Integral Edition 2022.9.9 (Customized Option; 3,4,6,A,B).iso

  @Ramsey I tried this on two computers with an old version of Balabolka. The TTS does not work. Selecting speech in the control panel gives an error. For now, I am using a Windows XP CD to repair the TTS function.

  @Spence Out of curiosity, what voice do you use and what API? (SAPI4, SAPI5, ???)
  I only have SAPI5 + Voice Sam/SAPI5 and it works. But if there's some good (less robotic voices), freely available for the API XP supports, that would be great.

I did search about this very strange problem of failing to install drivers & their updates. both cases, for SDIO & Driver Booster , they suggest to check the HDD/SSD media health for errors. they also suggest to delete the downloaded drivers and start a clean vanilla driver update process. I had no luck with the above.
  
  trying to do an sfc /scannow I got an 0x000006ba RPC Server is unavailable. I did unlock it (bad idea) according to the guidance of the netland: https://www.winhelponline.com/blog/fix-sfc-error-0x000006ba-rpc-unavailable/
  
  but then I got an error saying that the system files have been altered (I guess Integral magic here) and restoring the original XP SP3 files may cause issues. Here is a picture of this issue: https://ufile.io/2hw3xpuk

  @acoul The SFC is turned off by default in WinXP-IE. You have a tool at the "Start Menu -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Windows File Protection.cmd" to turn SFC on again and to run the SFC Scan.
  
  And if you run an SFC Scan then you should insert the WinXP-IE ISO or else you will get errors, because some outdated and unneeded components were removed from WinXP-IE.
  
  I'm also suggesting you search for the driver by hand, because this tools are not always working like they should. And like i said if you use this kind of tools then use the ones suggested in the ReadMe file and in the previous comment.

  Drivers are essential Ramsey indeed. trying to find drivers by hand is not an easy task now days, especially for XP. My experience with DriverPack Solution, url link does not work for me, front end is not pleasant as also described on the video presentation over at majorgeeks. if I am not mistaken, Snappy Driver Installer is also based on the DriverPack packages.
  
  when DriverPack packages can't find a driver, it's good to have an alternative. that's why I use Driver Booster.
  
  Searching at the Snappy Driver Installer site I found SamDrivers. Snappy Driver Installer last changelog entry is back in 2017. I use Snappy Driver Installer Origin, that is regularly maintained from the author of the original code. any feedback on this is always welcomed

  I've lost count how many times I've installed XP Integral from the start just to have a fresh vanilla system for tests. my testing systems are a Ryzen 1600AF/a320 & two Intel systems, a j1800 & a j3455 (Intel NUC)
  
  this morning Snappy Driver Installer had a point _except_handler4_common incident. is the solution over at QAMAR's BLOG a good way to resolve this issue ?

  @acoul I don't recommend to use driver tools like this to install all your drivers on your computer. You should do it by hand and you will save yourself a lot of time an problems.
  There is a reason why i didn't add something like this by default into WinXP-IE and only add the simple WLAN and LAN Driver Packs.

On a fresh install, Legacy Update found & installed a security update kb963096 (I could not find any further info for this patch). 360 total security offers two additional security patches, kb2229593 https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/ScopedViewInline.aspx?updateid=c86b1cc2-268b-48a6-b2f9-0a6dca0116cb & kb2660649 https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/ScopedViewInline.aspx?updateid=8a5a7015-b776-4586-854b-65cf08586996

may I ask 1). why these patches are missing from the integral edition & 2). if it's ok to install them ?

  @acoul They probably have been replaced by some POSReady 2009 updates.
  You can check this by extracting the updates with "KBXXXXXX.exe /x" and then check the file version with the ones you have in your "C:\WINDOWS" folder. You can also check the Registry "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates" to see what updates have replaced these updates.

  @acoul I made a mistake, the Legacy Update installs KB963093 https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/ScopedViewInline.aspx?updateid=aa1c786f-e985-46e7-a5c7-7b289a4d2ae5

  @acoul
  looking further into this, Legacy Update 1st offers to install Windows Search 4.0 KB940157 https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/ScopedViewInline.aspx?updateid=f1b1a591-bb75-4b1c-9fbd-03eedb00cc9d and after that, KB963093
  
  looking at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates, KB963093 is listed under SP3
  
  1). should I remove KB940157 & KB963093 and 2). should I report this issue on the Legacy Update as a bug under https://github.com/kirb/LegacyUpdate/issues ?

  @acoul A Windows update will not downgrade a file version with a greater number on your computer.

  @Ramsey
  thank you so much Ramsey for your clarifications. I understand that Legacy Update offers to install Windows Search 4.0 KB940157 along with the security companion KB963093 which are missing from the Integral edition. according to your words and my understanding of them, they are not even superseded or surpassed by something more recent.
  
  it is puzzling though in the case of Patch Up from 360 total security. it offers those two old kb2229593 & kb2660649 that are missing from the Integral edition (I was not able to locate them in the HKLM/SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates as you suggested) and apparently are not superseded or surpassed by something else ?

  @acoul Windows Search 4.0 is not included by default in WinXP-IE. You can install it separately from the folder ".\Extras\Windows XP Components\Windows Search 4.0". And it looks like the KB940157 & KB963093 are also updated that got replaced by newer ones.
  
  Simply extract the updates with the command /X and compare the file versions against the ones in your "C:\WINDOWS" folder. And then use "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates" to check to which KB update this files from the "C:\WINDOWS" belong to.

Many Thanks @Ramsey and @Kaspers!
No ACPI patch is not an option since it's a Skylake (Z170) install...
Anyway, seeing that you were able to install Version 2.0.0.0 properly, i tried it and it installed well here too.
I however tried to install age-old version 1.15 (from 1999) for which i have a license key and unfortunately the developer isn't accessible any more...

But now i luckyly discoverd that a slightly newer Version 1.6.1 (from around 2000) works also nicely, and it' usable, shareware.
Even better: the shellpicture.dll of that version fits to my old version 1.15 - isn't that a nice fortune??

@Kaspars: Shell Picture is about only 1 MB, and it does the job of SageThumbs and JPEGview in one and is lightning fast. For me it's usability is unmatched an a real MUST HAVE for every XP-installation.

I can only repeat my offer @Ramsey: Send me a pm; this gem belongs into your next version of the integral edition! (an upload of the installer.exe here directly in a post seems to be prohibited!?)
