Credit goes to Windows OCManage for showing me how to use imagecfg.
I've just made it simple, so anyone can use it using my batch file.

Imagecfg can do many things, I'm currently working on a new batch that will have settings for affinity too. This file will let you change the version of the OS the exe will think it's running on.

Imagecfg Utility Beta 2 (Yes I noticed that Windows 2000 had a lower-case letter, so it's beta 2 now...)

Thanks! it is realy easy.

And what about SP numbers, some apps require a certain SP or higher, how to trick that with that program?

Whistler_fan

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]
"CSDVersion"="Service Pack 3"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Windows]
"CSDVersion"=dword:00000300
"CSDReleaseType"=dword:00000000


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\Windows]
"CSDVersion"=dword:00000300
"CSDReleaseType"=dword:00000000

Save this as fix.reg and reboot
this regfile will set the service pack count to 3

Edit:
I think that i will also integrate these tweaks into the next version of Windows Testware Unlocker(in development)

Edit2:
I've found a fault in your code, you give as build the version and as version the build (-v 2600 -b 5.1, must be -b 2600 and -v 5.1)

NICE APP! maybe now we can get some newer apps to run on neptune.

Awesome

Thx everyone. Yeah the Service Pack thing needs to be done manually, or with a reg file....

I've had no problems at all installing things, except for the service packs, which knew that the ntoskrnl was not "Microsoft".

K, I fixed the batch file it should be bug free thx to Whistler_fan noticing I did it backwards....

Don't apply Service Packs to Neptune, it will lose the Consumer ProductSuite value and it will become regular Win2K Build 2128

I suggest to swap this "Directory of exe:ntoskrnl" with this "Pick a number:8"
It's kinda confusing. so it is :

Would this have any effect on the desktop's build tag?

I'm Deeply impressed! Thankyou, I will use this to fool my friends into thinking I have Windows 8. My friend won't believe me until i open winver.exe, and then he will go into shock. I will tell him that ever since windows 7 had the flat Aero them they decided to go back to vista's theme. Again thanks.

Kenneth

Run these commands for Vista and 7 x86/x64

Code:

bcdedit -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS

Awesome

I have swapped Pick a number and Directory of exe; I have also swapped Build and Version in 8-Custom.
I think I might change my Vista Version to 8.0.1337

This is very impressive for those of us that run older OS

Thx, I'm almost done with the affinity version (for using a certain core for processing)

Ok i tried v1.2 and 1.0, i want to change win2k build number to winxp build number.
As path i type in c:\winnt\system32\ntoskrnl
and number 5 (windows xp)
It says:
c:\winnt\system32\ntoskrnl contains no configuration information
c:\winnt\system32\ntoskrnl contains a Subsystem Version of 5.0
c:\winnt\system32\ntoskrnl contains a build number of f0000893
c:\winnt\system32\ntoskrnl updated with the following configuration information:

Subsystem Version: 5.1
Build Number: f0000a28
Press any key to continue . . .

Change Ntkrnlmp.exe or Ntkrnlpa.exe or Ntkrnlpamp.exe.

And how do I run solitare of Windows 7 in Windows XP?

There are unresolved Kernel links etc that are required to run it.

Not unresolved 'kernel' references, the kernel is mostly still Windows Server 2003 SP1 compatible, if not directly compatible. The differences lie in high level API DLLs such as 'gdi32.dll' 'user32.dll' 'kernel32.dll' 'dwmapi.dll' 'advapi.dll' and so on.

This is a really nice, and useful tool and will come in handy.

dirtwarrior

Can this be used to slipstrem xp service packs into windows 2000 or whistler 2296? Will it break it?

Kenneth

...you can''t really do that successfully you know, but it is possible dirtwarrior.

The links seem to be down
