Longhorn 4074: Timebomb, TweakNT, Drivers

[Y@riK]

Hello, everybody!
I was installed Longhorn build 4074 on VMware player 7.0, and it works! But one problem.. Timebomb. I activated Windows, than started TweakNT to remove timebomb, but it not started! I found it in Task Manager, but it not visible. I tryed all!


About drivers... I have downloaded all drivers to start Aero, sound and others, but, when i installing any driver, i give this error:
The provided driver package is not compatible with Longhorn.
It is possible to repair it all?
Maybe, timebomb removes in regedit?

UPD: ERROR SCREENSHOT:

Google longhorn activation cracks. Click the longhorn.ms link. Scroll down to 4074. Download the zip file. Navigate to system32 and rename winlogon to winlogon.bak. Copy winlogon.exe to system32. Reboot. That's it!

As for the driver issue, click "Continue Installation" or any continue button.

[Y@riK]

Okay, it working. But button "Continue Installation" doesn't exist!

Now that you posted an image, it's clearer now. What drivers are you using? VMWare supplied or...

[Courage]

Click 'Cancel'. The 'pre-release fallback mechanism' will usually work if the drivers are compatible with other builds. (eg. Many drivers in 4088)

Oh ya, I forgot. On M7 you have to click 'Cancel' not the standard 'Continue Installation' like on Pre-M7.

Certainly! But after 'Cancel' driver doesn't starting.

Here:
http://thounsell.co.uk/files/VMWare70-Drv.rar
Hounsell's driver pack for VMWare 7. Unrar it and mount the .iso. Drivers it has should work.

This is for VMWare 6.5, however, it's much more compatible with longhorn on VMWare 7.

NOTE: You'll still get the incompatible driver hell, but clicking cancel should install driver.

This drivers don't working. Maybe i give error, because i'm using VMware player 7?

[wasabilee]

just do it manually via devmgmt

VMware 6.5 = VMware Workstation 6.5
VMware 7 = VMware Workstation 7.x
VMware Player 7.0 is based on Workstation 11.0

There is really no point in installing Longhorn on a specific VMware workstation version other than to get DWM to work. It's just about installing the drivers from that version. I'm not sure if the OP even knows when a driver works or not.

[yourepicfailure]

I actually once got LH Aero working with VMWare 10 using the VMWare 7 drivers, but it barely worked at times.
9 and 10 are about as high as you'll get with Aero on LH.
Problem is, the VMWare supplied drivers past 8 or 9 are flat out incompatible with longhorn, so don't try those.

Try an older version of player, possibly 4 or 5, if you can find it.

You can find the old version of VMWare Player on VMWare website. According to Wikipedia, version 3(or 3.1) is the one that released with VMWare workstation 7. But the problem is, when I installed it on VM, I updated drivers, placed the aero theme and tried to enable the transparency, it hung. (It also hung when I wrongly install the drivers via right-click method.) I used Windows XP for the configuration, should I use it or not? (Sorry but I'm kinda noob on playing with Longhorn.)

Common case of not enabling 3d acceleration in VM config.

The option is enabled in my VM.

driver also must be WHQL accepted by OS

I honestly don't recommend vmware player for betas but vmware workstation will work better for betas.

There is no real difference....
