The VM then had to be hard switched off in VMware. The Shutdown Options dialog box appeared, but no shutdown option could be selected or had no effect.

Often ReactOS function were hanging, so I could open the start menu and select the command to shut down.

As a result, the shutdown scripts did not run, so the VM could not be shut down in VMware Workstation – this was only possible from the guest operating system.

During the installation of the VMware tools for Windows, problems were reported to me (missing entry points in a DLL).

At some point I managed to get ReactOS running in the VM – even the network (Internet) was present.

A clean install led to a non-booting VM the first time. After some time I cancelled the upgrade because nothing happened. The following dialog box also appeared.īut the option didn't came to any result.

Then I used tricks to run the setup wizard from a running ReactOS (some.

The attempt to update this VM by booting from ISO failed – I couldn't get it to work.

I tested this version briefly in a VM under VMware 10.0.7, where ReactOS-0.4.9-RC was pre-installed. ReactOS is an undeniably impressive technical achievement, but its practical use is limited at the moment. Windows compatibility, although improved, struggles when presented with something like a recent-ish. Open-source fans can get their kicks on Linux. While an undeniably impressive feat of engineering, ReactOS has limited usefulness right now. However, our original conclusion still stands. The effort invested by the team is evident in its stability. The whole OS simply felt considerably more robust than the version we tried last year, much of which is down to improvements in the Win32 subsystem. The stability has improved, but it still hangs in the balance. The Register is also very happy with the new version. The Register writes, however, that a lot of work had to be invested in Hyper-V to get the configuration running with network, etc. If you go through the articles of Softpedia and The Register, it all sounds like great progress and you're going to be something. At least I interpret this from the following screenshot, which is shown during the installation. Compatibility with Windows applications is probably also provided by borrowing from Wine. Meanwhile, ReactOS also promises that an upgrade to a new feature will work. The team cites Blender 2.57b, Evernote 5.8.3 and even the latest released (and now no longer supported by Apple) version of QuickTime for Windows, 7.7.9 as working. By supporting manifests, more applications are expected to run, although work is still pending in this area. These are used to tell the operating system that DLLs of an application are needed to run. The team mentioned within the announcement that progress has been made in supporting manifests. This module is responsible for finding and loading dependent DLLs of applications. With the new version the Loader (LDR) was also revised.

For example, there was a memory leak that was discovered by developer Thomas Faber.

However, this dependency has led to problems using the driver in ReactOS. While the fastfat driver is an in-house file system driver of the ReactOS developers, ReactOS has always relied on a third-party driver to support BTRFS. Improvements in the memory management of file systems were also an issue. These occurred when trying to back up the partition of a hard disk with the ODIN backup software. This removed at least one cause for blue screens. For example, Pierre Schweitzers managed to implement corrections to the management of the cache controller's data structures. The announcement on the ReactOS News page mentions some kernel improvements. The ReactOS 0.4.11 announcements sounded good, allegedly the project should have made great progress. So I noticed the announcement on the ReactOS news page, as well as the articles from Softpedia and The Register last week. The idea is to have a MinWin operating system to run Windows applications under Linux. I observe the development of ReactOS, because I am looking at its core (less the GUI) as the basis of a VM. Details about the development and history may be found at the Wikipedia. Among other things, the programming interface Win32 is emulated for this purpose.

This should make it possible to use programs and device drivers for Windows NT and its successor Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows 7. The goal of ReactOS is to be binary compatible with Windows, especially be binary compatible with the Windows NT kernel.

The operating system is mostly licensed under the GNU GPL, but some of its components are licensed under the LGPL or the BSD license. For blog readers who aren't familiar with ReactOS: This is a software project to develop a free operating system.
