2018-10-10 Before you install Windows 10, it’s a good idea to save any work and back up your PC before you start. If you used the media creation tool to download an ISO file for Windows 10, you’ll need to burn it to a DVD before following these steps. Attach the USB flash drive or insert the DVD on the PC where you want to install Windows 10.
YOU DO THIS IN YOUR OWN RISK. If you do this, take backups. Requires: MS Windows XP (SP2): 1) Create new folder named 'temp' to root of your Vista drive ( C: ).
Copy the following files from XP (or expand from XP CD) installation: Windows System32 drivers nwlnkipx.sys Windows System32 drivers nwlnkflt.sys Windows System32 drivers nwlnkfwd.sys Windows System32 drivers nwlnknb.sys Windows System32 drivers nwlnkspx.sys Windows System32 rtipxmib.dll Windows System32 wshisn.dll Windows System32 nwprovau.dll (Following folder is hidden) Windows inf netnwlnk.inf Windows inf netnwlnk.pnf to C: Temp, and to corresponding Vista folders. 2) Control Panel->Network Center->Manage network connections. Right-click your LAN connection and select Properties. Click Install., select Protocol and click Add. Scenka o kurenii po 5 minut. The NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS protocol may be listed on the Network Protocol list. DO NOT SELECT IT. Click Have Disk.
Browse to C: Temp. Select netnwlnk.inf. Select NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS from the list.
Vista will tell you that the publisher could not be verified. Click Install. If all goes well, the protocol should be now installed. Restart computer.
The problem I had using that solution should be able to be solved. I followed the instructions precisely. However, it wasn't the digital signature requirment which made it fail. When I reached the part: Select NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS from the list. Vista will tell you that the publisher could not be verified. Click Install.
An error dialog stated: Could not add the requested feature. The error is: The specified module could not be found.
I WAS going to ask what to do, but having checked the.INF file contents, it appears that Vista does not want to automatically install the three DLL files into the%systemroot% system32 directory. I therefore manually copied them there before trying again. This time, it completed successfully. It may take a LONG time - this may have been because my network connection was very active at the time with another 'sorting out Vista' job It requires a reboot just like the good old days. After reboot, the IPX/SPX protocol shows in the network connection dialog. As yet, I can't actually get it to work and I do not have a means of testing it other than one program which states: IPX protocol not found.
I can't believe that is anything to do with firewall etc althogh I did allow the program on local network only. For the moment I am assuming that the program itself doesn't like Vista although every other part of it not requiring a network connection works. Any ideas gratefully received!
