Hello,

This latest version(11.12)does not work on Windows9x/Me. It has something happens to be done to make this work?
Perhaps you put a link with version 11.11

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Sincerely

Hi gg41,
 
Can you explain what you mean by "doesn't work"?
 
Hm, perhaps this is related to Christophe's report in Process Explorer on Windows NT.  Don't have a 98 / ME box or an NT box to test it with... EmbarrassedUnhappy

When I started the program, here is the error messages I get :

The file C:\PROGRAM FILES\PROCESSEXPLORER\PROCEXP.EXE
Requires a newer version of Windows.
Upgrade your version of Windows.

C:\Program Files\ProcessExplorer\procexp.exe
A device attached to the system is not working properly.

Running Process Explorer v11.12 on Windows 98SE
"The ...\PROCEXP.EXE file expects a newer version of Windows.
Upgrade your Windows version."
and
"A device attached to the system is not functioning."

Compatibility for Windows 98SE is broken and Windows 95 still unsupported because of unfixed IDP problem.

And what you guys expecting? Windows 9x dropped long time ago and newest versions of PE just provides legacy support for this OS's. Now even it is dropped.

I agree that legacy OS support for 9x is dead but people still run them on old machines or Virtual Machines.
The fact is Sysinternals still advertises Process Explorer with multiplatform support including Windows 9x when it clearly does not.

Comparing Process Explorer v11.11 with v11.12 I can't see any difference however using an old program called "Quick View" it appears the newer version specifically requires an OS higher than 9x/NT4 to run.
(Process Explorer 11.12)
Operating System Version: 5.00
Image Version: 0.00
Subsystem Version: 5.00

(Process Explorer 11.11)
Operating System Version: 4.00
Image Version: 0.00
Subsystem Version: 4.00

It's highly likely that Process Explorer was compiled incorrectly with a restricted OS target.

Maybe this was done specially to drop support?

OS/Subsystem version is the reason of failing to start on Windows NT4.0 and Windows 9x. By the way you can try to patch it with PeTools for example, but this will break digital signature.

Looks like PE 11.12 (and Procmon 1.30, and  Handle 3.31) may be the first version to be built with Visual Studio 2008.  I'd speculate that the /SUBSYSTEM linker switch was not adjusted from the default, which would appear to be 5.0 for VS 2008's linker.
