Thread 106403006

sirs i hate this shit !!
>https://rentry.co/build-win2k3
for 2 weeks i'm trying to build this shit and every new run different shit arises. has anyone built it successfully with this guide because for me no matter what something errors out. i also had to patch the oids in the configs of the certutil guide because it didn't play well with modern openssl. building in a w10 vm. doesn't also help that the guide is vague as fuck and not very reproducible especially on extracting steps. or maybe I'm just retarded. i'm trying the pro sku, on one occasion it spat out srv iso successfully but it choked right at the setup with a driver missing i think.

>Has anyone built win2k3 successfully using the rentry guide
Yes. I built win2k3 from the source code several times. The guide mostly works but you should follow it carefully.
>Certutil doesn't play well with modern openssl.
I had issues with certutil too when I tried to build Win2K3 from the source on recent builds of Windows 10/11. The certutil must be updated, otherwise it won't work with new OpenSSL versions.

Why don't anyone update and expand the source using AI? that would be great.

I would love to help. but you know my programming sucks. only can provide ideas

Have you extracted the contents of win2003_x86-missing-binaries_v2.7z to the x86fre folder before running the postbuild.cmd?

>>106403288
yeah. i have no idea if maybe the .cab version of the nt5src i am using i am extracting it wrong. but then nowhere on the internet i can find the "original" archive that has the files in a single raw 7z archive. why the fuck were y'all distributing this shit on public upload sites instead of torrents !!!!!!

>>106403274
>Why don't anyone update and expand the source using AI?
There is little point in doing so. The code is not open source and Microsoft can sue people for working on it. Not to mention that most people lost their interest in developing the leaked win2k3 source code, as well.
>I would love to help. But you know my programming sucks.
You can contribute to FOSS projects like Wine or ReactOS. You can get more familiar with the internal architecture of Windows by reading the Windows Internals book. There are also tons of C/C++ courses and educational materials on the internet that you can use to improve your programming skills.

>why the fuck were y'all distributing this shit on public upload sites instead of torrents
There is a torrent for it as well. Just check the leaked source code thread on >>>/t/

Did you get any errors after performing the post build?

>>106403606
yessir
unfortunately i nuked it in rage 2 hours ago so i'm going to redo it hopefully properly and post any errors

I like the idea that someone might update win xp to support newer stuff like usb3 natively while retaining the low DPC latency that win xp is capable of so I gotta ask: Why are you building xp/2003? Just as an exercise so you can say you did it?

>>106403682
i want to try poking around with wine on it and possibly see how much of an unidentified monstrosity will it be to copy protections/ACs when tweaked enough
besides i'll probably install it on my t'pad and have a memory lane walk through the good days........... when they still were there ;_;

I think someone is still developing the leaked win2k3 source code in 2025.

What is the point of the effort?

Asking genuinely, after all what are you trying to achieve?

>>106403768
why do anything? i waste my time for a living. then i come home and waste some more. it's fun and nostalgic.

>Certutil doesn't play well with modern openssl.
I think this guy fixed the certutil issue on modern builds of Windows:

Can you upload this to a non shitty spammy wait 1 minute to download at 23kb/s file host? Even limewire can host up to 1gb without this garbage waiting.

>>106403508
I wonder what the legality is of only distributing patches and telling users to apply (and compile) it themselves. I know that works for romhacks but leaked source code itself?

BVMP, Microsoft tongue my anus.

>>106403731
If you dont know about nlite check it out. Some people made extensions for it to have applications pre-installed. So you could instal from an xp disc and have all patches baked in with many apps like ccleaner and winamp pre-installed.

I'd love it if someone made one of those pre-install apps for a working internet browser.

>>106403814
I mean can't you just run in on real hardware or a VM?

>>106406142
NTA but where's the fun in that? It's about the process anon.

Salute to OP.

>OpenXP
Huh? I knew about OpenNT by Stephanos, but that was actually based on the NT 4.0 code. Never knew there were people working with the XP/Server 2003 code.

What a surprise to see people is still playing with the sources and doing /wxp/ threads from time to time. Although seems like OpenXP is mostly about maintenance tasks on the code, than reworking/extending it. Although I don't blame you guys... The SP1/SP2 codebase is missing and that was basically like a complete release of the OS code than an more mundane update, much like "Feature Updates" in modern windowses. This means if you want to reconstruct that chunk, you will be literally in the same state as ReactOS developers, blind and with the task of writing thousands of C and C++ lines of missing stuff.

Hopefully some day the Norks decide to leak the Win7 RTM sources. These would be in a more finished state than what was leaked for Windows XP and Windows 2003.

>>106408808
>Although seems like OpenXP is mostly about maintenance tasks on the code, than reworking/extending it.
Apparently they want to port OpenXP to ARM processors, so there is that.

>>106408808
>Win7 RTM sources
Windows Server 2008 or 2008 R2 would be better

>>106408808
unfortunately the leaks aren't that useful as they're for xp sp1 and 2003 rtm, and they got major upgrades with xp sp2/2003 sp1, lots of software past 2004 won't like it as they're too old

>>106408808
>You will be literally in the same state as ReactOS developers
ReactOS devs are doing clean room reverse engineering to avoid getting sued by Microsoft. Since OpenXP is illegal, people don't bother themselves with clean room reverse engineering. What ReactOS devs are doing is a lot harder than what the OpenXP people are about to accomplish.

Up

Honestly, this thread just shows why the original /wxp/ died.

"trends" is the retard fuel which led to the anti-features in all post-2021 products.

>>106403006 (OP)
OP, next time do it properly.
