Windows "Longhorn" build 4093, with a build tag of 4093.main.040819-1215, is the last winmain compile of the original "Longhorn" line (based on the Server 2003 RC1 code-base) before development was reset.

This build is highly unstable.

CD Burn Wizard

BetaArchive user Lukas Marsik used build 4093 to demonstrate the CD Burn Wizard contained in the build 4085 Explorer demo files shared by BetaArchive user ReflectiaX:[10]

So I picked up the 4085 bundle of files (which turned out to be mostly 4090, only Explorer is from 4085)

The first thing that jumped out at me when comparing these files to non-private Longhorn compiles was a different CD Burn Wizard, backed by WinFS for temporary storage.

To get it to work you'll first need to hex edit the .NET assemblies provided in the ZIP. Due to them being from build 4090 they attempt to load other shell assemblies with the same version which of course fails. An easy way to change the reference versions from 4090 to 4093 is to replace all occurrences of bytes 06 00 00 00 FA 0F with 06 00 00 00 FD 0F.

The assemblies you'll need to edit are the following: Microsoft.Windows.WCPClient, System.Windows.Contacts, System.Windows.Contacts.Interop, and System.Windows.Explorer.

After booting up with the changed files, go ahead and regsvr32 a copy of System.Windows.Explorer. The Burn Wizard uses some extra interfaces and we need to make sure they are in the registry. Once you're done with all that, running "rundll32 shell32,BurnWizard_RunDLL Test,0" should bring you to what you see in the screenshots.

The names of the parameters you pass to the Burn Wizard are as follows: pszPnPId, fEraseMode Setting fEraseMode to 1 results in a crash inside my VM, and passing it an invalid PnP Id doesn't seem to cause much harm as you can see

— Lukas Marsik, Re: ReflectiaX's Longhorn Beta and Demo Files Thread!, [11]

The CD Burn Wizard uses the listmaker shown in the Longhorn Days concepts, and later used in Microsoft Max.[12]
