Notes

Part of the leak by grabberslasher from the Longhorn Pack released on 26/01/2020.
By default it will lock up in the 2nd stage of setup, making this build uninstallable without a 'patch'.

Fixes

Installation
The screen just goes black when you are in the GUI stage of the setup, BetaWiki has an artciel explaining about how it fails. You can read it here: https://betawiki.net/wiki/Windows_Vista_build_5000_(vbl_core.040808-2000)

Patch
As it is the problem of Win32k.sys, you can use the Win32k.sy_ from the ISO of the next day (040809) and insert it into the ISO before installation. It should then install fine.
