FS 2000 Professional Edition patch2B missing DLL for Windows 7

I installed Flight Simulator 2000 Professional Edition. Then used the "special" FS2000.EXE that allows it to run in windows 7~10.

 

THANK YOU Blaine White...

 

I used the following steps to get FS2000 installed and running on Windows 10 without requiring a VM.

1. Ran the FS2000 setup program as administrator in compatability mode for Windows 98

2. During install ran custom install to disk root directory - i.e. C:\FS2000

3. Installed complete (including all of scenery cd disk 2).

4. Copied into c:\FS2000 the no-cd version of FS2000.exe

5. Right clicked c:\FS2000\FS2000.exe and set to run as administrator in compatability for Windows 98.

 

Running beautifully from desktop shortcut together with added-in aircraft.

 

Yea it works!

 

Would like to install a FS 2000 update patch so put the original FS2000.EXE back and tried to run the patch installer.

 

Got this error with first patch below...

 

FS2000 Professional Edition Patch

X Error loading W95INF32.DLL

 

How to fix this?

 

Also found 2 different patches

 

FS2000_Pro_Update2B.exe 8.89mb

and

FS2000_Pro_Patch_Signed.exe 8.62mb

 

What is difference in two patches?

Seriously,

 

Over a 180 views and nobody with Windows 7~10 has attempted to install the patches to FS 2000?

 

Why am I always a pioneer with my issues? :confused:

I got the same dll error. But, I got the patch to work running it in Windows XP (Service Pack 2) compatibility mode and also running it as administrator.

 

Also, I did also see that other patch file out there (FS2000_Pro_Patch_Signed.exe). I don't know what the difference is, but FS2000_Pro_Update2B.exe is the one I used at it worked fine.
