Windows Nashville build 999

Windows Nashville build 999 is a build of Windows Nashville. It was found on the third disc in the Crazybytes 5 warez CD compilation, and was originally leaked in December 1995. As of 2021, it is currently the only leaked build of Nashville.

The branding still says «Windows 95» in most places, except in Add/Remove Programs, where it says «Windows 96» if chosen to keep uninstall files, and in the Command Prompt, where the VER command reports it as Nashville.

New features and changes [ edit | edit source ]

• Infrared driver support is installed in this build by default.

Shell features [ edit | edit source ]

• The sliding effect for menus is also included.
• This build includes a near-final version of Internet Explorer 2 ( MSHTML.DLL ), but with very early shell integration added on top. This includes changes to Windows Explorer ( EXPLORER.EXE ) that allow you to open websites or e-mail in the same Explorer window. However, the overall size of the Internet Explorer installation is much smaller than usual, and it is not possible to browse the web without installing a regular version of Internet Explorer on top. This way a proper IEXPLORE.EXE is installed, but it also seems to break the integrated web browsing capability.
• Single click activate is added and can be enabled in the Folder Options. Alongside, hovering over icons results in the link being blue.

  • The System Information application has been added and can be run via MSINFO32.EXE .

      Installation [ edit | edit source ]

      Installation is similar to installing an upgrade version of Windows 95, but it doesn’t always work and may BSOD during the second stage of setup. However, this can be fixed. An easier way of installing this build without having to upgrade from a previous build is to create a dummy NTLDR on the hard drive to trick Setup into thinking that Windows NT was installed.

      Note: This build will not upgrade from Windows 95 if Windows 95 was installed on a FAT32 partition.

      Release notes

      Windows Nashville is a Windows beta that preceded Windows 95 OSR2 and Windows 98. It is the first to contain elements of Internet Explorer «integration» with the shell. For the most part, it looks like Windows 95 RTM. It includes a beta of Microsoft’s «Athena» Personal Information Manager, menus have a «zooming» effect, and hovering over an icon makes it look like an underlined hyperlink.

      Nashville was intended to be an intermediate release between Windows 95 and what would become Windows 98. Instead, however, only the core IE 3 was included with the update to Windows 95 and the rest made its way in to Windows 98.

      Installation instructions

      To install, run setup as an upgrade from Windows 3.1 or Windows 95. Do not install to a FAT32 drive, Nashville does not support FAT32.

      Windows Nashville

      Шаблон:Карточка ОС Windows Nashville (также известна под именем Windows 96Шаблон:Нет АИ) — кодовое имя версии операционной системы Windows, которая должна была быть выпущена между Windows 95 и Windows 98.

      Предполагалась как система с полной интеграцией Internet Explorer’а в проводник Windows основанной на web-технологиях того времени. Изначально проектировалась, как новая версия Windows, но в конце концов была представлена как IE 4.0 с функцией «Active Desktop» для Windows 95 и NT4.0 (Функция Active Desktop позволяла использовать веб-страницу в качестве рисунка рабочего стола). Впоследствии проект был отменён, а все наработки были перенесены в Windows 98. Изначально планируемый, как крупный релиз, проект Windows 96 в итоге был свернут, а вместо него выпущен Windows 95 OSR2.

      Для коллекционеров в сети можно найти сборку 4.10.999. Изменения и нововведения: эффект подсветки всех надписей в меню, иконок и папок в Проводнике; анимация меню; анимация раскрытия папок в Проводнике, что было на тот момент для Microsoft довольно революционным. Также было предложение настроить доступ к серверу Microsoft Exchange.

There was also a build 1056, which was leaked by someone on BetaArchive back in 2014, but it’s probably not 100% real. Build 999 is pretty much the only «real» build for Windows Nashville.

Build 1056 is just a Plus! pack based around Nashville’s features.

yes, how exactly do i install? rebooting just left the vm on a black screen with a blinking gray line.

Please correct installation instructions. I can’t get upgrade from Windows 95 OSR2, I’m upgrading it from Windows 3.1.

Nashville installs easily as an upgrade from Windows 95 OSR2 in PCem, but it will not upgrade if Windows 95 is installed on a FAT32 partition.

Thanks for clarifying this. Nashville does not support FAT32. Updated the entry.

Can you please make the instructions more clear? I have no idea how to run the setup on Windows 3.1. I want to use Windows 3.1 Because I experience problems on Windows 95.

You’ll need cd-rom support in Windows 3.1 (use ms-dos 6.22 with cd-rom support), then run setup from your D drive.

Thanks, it worked finally! I really appreciate the help.

Everytime I boot up Windows «96» after installing it I get a protection error. Is there a way to fix this error?

I’ve never tried running it, I’m not really that interested in old versions of windows that didn’t get released, unless they add something special, like Windows 2000 RC1 for DEC Alpha.

That being said, if the code is very similar to windows 95 code, which I bet that it is, it could have issues with processors that are too fast. Later version of windows 95 had a patch for this. I have no idea if it’s that’s the same issue, but it’s worth a look.

If it’s in a VM (and either of the following conditions apply to the host), 350+ MHz AMD machine or 1.7+ GHz Intel machine, then it’s probably the same race condition as Windows 95. Try the win95 CPU patch as it’s supposed to work with all versions of the OS.

Windows Nashville

Nashville (initially codenamed Cleveland and also called Windows 96 in some files, such as SETUPC.INF ) was a canceled project developed by Microsoft, which was an attempt to merge web content and the classic desktop. At the moment, the only confirmed build is 4.10.999, although other builds are rumored to exist.

Most, if not all, of the functionality slated for Nashville was reassigned to the Memphis project, which eventually became Windows 98. Known features meant for Nashville include Internet Explorer 4 (which also reused the Nashville codename), desktop integration with the web (which was eventually released as Windows Desktop Update and Active Desktop), and a PIM suite, which in time became Outlook Express.
