I had to use both Alky for Applications and OS Spoofer to get it to run. On a side note installing the last XP version on a new XP install does not cause it to update and actually says we’re dropping support for your current platform but as many will know that is along the lines of we’re not giving you updates but it’ll probably keep working.Įxcuse me for bumping but can't the Spotify version specifically made for Vista (Runs on XP despite it targeting Vista) work on Windows 2000 with the extended kernel?
If anybody has any ideas I’d be very grateful - it’s something that has me stuck. It does allow the initial install though. I tried setting the Spotify exe to XPSP3 in fcwin2k however this also doesn’t seem to make a difference. My theory is something along the lines of because the program doesn’t detect XP SP3 as the installed OS it considers itself worthy of an upgrade however it then installs a version requiring Win 7 and above. I have tried blocking permissions to the Update folder in Local Settings\Application Data but that then causes Spotify to have a VB error.
On an existing install from a couple of years ago Spotify is quite happy and doesn’t try to update. Rolling back makes it work and then it updates itself making it unusable again. The part I can’t understand is this only happens on a fresh install using the final XP version. Out of curiosity does anybody have any idea as to why when Spotify is installed with extended kernel it tries to update itself thus rendering unusable?
