Installation of Mumble on not natively supported OS

Installation of the Mumbleclient on Windows 2000

The Mumble-Client is only supported to be run on Windows XP or higher (VISTA/Win7 etc.). However it seams that following these steps most basic functions should work.

Here's a quick guide to get the mumble client running.

The fix is confirmed to be working for mumble 1.2.x Please read the Wrapper guide carefully and follow the fix step by step if you are having problems getting the client to work.

MISSING DLL EXPORTS KERNEL32.dll - GetVolumePathNamesForVolumeNameW ws_32.dll - getaddrinfo wtsapi32.dll - WTSRegisterSessionNotification psapi.dll - GetProcessImageFileNameW dbghelp.dll - MiniDumpWriteDump

How to fix it: Get the KERNEL32.dll, ws_32.dll and wtsapi32.dll from the wrapper pack . Make sure you follow the instructions as the readme of the wrapper pack says.

Quick guide: 1) Copy original corresponding dlls from WINNT\system32 in mumble-client main folder 2) Rename them to kernel32_ORG.dll/wtsapi32_ORG.dll/ws_32_ORG.dll 3) Place kernel32.dll/wtsapi32.dll/ws_32.dll from the wrapper zip file in the same folder 4) Run ExcludeFromKnownDlls.reg if it's your first time using the wrapper. 5) Get Dbghelp.dll, unzip and put it in the same folder. 6) Get psapi.dll and put it in the same folder. 7) Run the mumble Client !

WARNING: It's still strongly recommended to read the wrapper readme first and to backup your original before you start toying with your dlls.
