EARLY ACCESS: Installing ReactOS in 2024 but Everything Goes Wrong...
🕑 Added 2024-04-15 20:49:05 +0000 UTCHello Patrons! Today I'm giving ReactOS another try for the first time in over 4 years. Will we run into a bunch of issues that cause the video to be almost an hour long? Well... of course.

It was common practice in the 90s to use a 16-bit installer with 32-bit programs. (Today we have the same situation, just with 32-bit and 64-bit.) If the program uses a more common installer like InstallShield, it is actually possible to replace the installer binary and install it anyway. 64-bit versions of Windows actually silently employ this trick to make it seamless. For ReactOS, see this page: https://reactos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10988
