Windows NT 5.0 1796 Install

[longhornwhistler]

Hey!
So I'm trying to install 1796 in VMWare Workstation but keep hitting this when VMWare captures my mouse upon boot.





Any ideas??

Try to change date on BIOS first

Or don't use VMware at all for this build.

I've had a very difficult time installing Nt5.0 on VMware. I got a few beta 2 builds working. But driver install and getting the sound driver to work always resulted in some odd issues, or the OS would just break. Try V-box, I had success getting one of the server builds to install with drivers and just about everything else.

Just tested 1796 in 86Box, it installs and runs without any problems.

I got this blue screen installing Build 1796

(Sorry I can't use image uploader becuase I am new and don't have 3 post)

I also try to upgrade from older builds.But I can't install any Beta 1 build,I keep getting BSoD,NT 4.0 don't work because I can't install ie 4.72(Build 2XXX)

Betas of this kind are generally not well suited for hypervisors like VMware or VirtualBox. There's a slight chance they may just work, and that is without the fancy bells and whistles like higher display resolutions, 16-bit color depth, sound, etc.

Recently, I successfully tested a few early NT 5.0 builds on 86Box. Here is an extremely abridged list of the specifications the machine (I tested 1729) had:

Machine: [Socket 7 HX] ASUS P/I-P55T2P4
CPU: Intel Pentium 120
Memory: 64 MB
Video: [PCI] Diamond Stealth 64 VRAM (S3 Vision964) (4 MB VRAM)
SCSI controller: [PCI] BusLogic BT-958D (BIOS enabled)
Hard drive: at least 500 MB, SCSI
CD-ROM drive: SCSI bus, ID 2, 16x speed

I should note that build 1796 is timebombed, so please turn time sync off in 86Box settings and set the BIOS date to some between May 1 and December 27, 1998.

I have the same problem when downloading 9x Operating Systems by Microsoft (e.g. Windows ME).
