I have not tried OOo 3.0.x out with KernelEx, although the most desirable new functionality in 3.0 is the new Notes implementation. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Advanced users may convert to or create a dual-boot environment with a lightweight Linux or BSD system, but this would be a stretch for everyone else. Note that many computers that are well able to run Windows XP were sold with Windows 98 or Me preinstalled. I wonder how Mac people with older and capable hardware that's forced to be with older OS X's feel like... - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

The latest changes in the KernelEx extension made running Firefox 3 possible in the Windows 98. If it will be possible to force OpenOffice 3 applications to run in Windows 98, it will be possible to tell what other functions needed for the OpenOffice 3 are missing in the KernelEx extension. What I'm counting on is the Windows standard error messages telling what library fuctions are still missing. Getting the information about the missing Win32 API functions support is the key to the ability to run the OpenOffice 3 as it is now. With the knowledge of what functions are missing, it will be possible to tell, if it will be easier to implement them in KernelEx or to remove them for OpenOffice 3. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

I do believe it checks some enviroment variables, or something like that. Since there are no certain variables in Windows 98, the application refuses to start. I just do not know what particular variables I need to create. The problem can be related to some certain registry keys missing, as well. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

If there are people volunteering for this effort, I recommend to create an childworkspace (cws) for these efforts to collect necessary changes for keep this run on Win98 and to have the impossibly to keep those efforts in sync with latest OOo relaseses. @sb,hro: I recommend not to simplify the code not to fast, to raise not too high hurdles for people who want to volunteer for this effort. @forsoft: Simplifying code is quite important for maintainability and code quality, so I think we have to find volunteers for this effort quite fast otherwise we need to continue simplification. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

It is IMO a fruitless (and even counterproductive) effort to try and get OOo running on Windows 98/ME, after it has been decided to drop support for that platform, and developers started to take advantage of that in their code additions/modifications (read: simplifications). - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Still, I'm unable to test it, as the setup procedure reports a proper version of Microsoft Installer missing. I know no way of tricking the Microsoft Installer 3 based setup procedure to work on Windows 98. A change in the setup system can give the ability to setup and test the compatibility of KernelEx and OpenOffice 3. Is there a way to use a different setup procedure in the OpenOffice 3 series? If not, it will be necesary to build own Windows 98 installation compatible release, probably. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

The Windows 9x systems are still supported by the MSFN community. The KernelEx project added some level of Windows 2000/XP application support on Windows 98. The ability to run OpenOffice 3 in Windows 98 systems is an important matter for users of older Microsoft systems. So, we are asking to keep the support for the Windows 98. The KernelEx makes it compatible with Windows 2000/XP to some level. But, it will be very difficult to istall it without some sort of support to our cause in the OpenOffice installer. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
