Windows Longhorn build 4082

Windows Longhorn build 4082 is a Milestone 7 build of Windows Longhorn. On 23 January 2020, this build was listed on a thread by UX.Unleaked blog founder Grabberslasher to be released to the BetaArchive FTP, and was released in the twelfth and final set of his 33 Longhorn/Vista builds on 4 February 2020 along with the main compile of 4042, build 4087 and build 5492.

Installation
As typical of builds in this build range, it tends to take a long time to install and can be unstable.

No mouse driver in WinPE
On some computers and virtualizers, the WinPE doesn't support the mouse, so you must use the keyboard to navigate the WinPE. This seems to be related to using a PS/2 mouse, as USB mice seems to work fine for the setup.

Upgrade
Attempting to upgrade from other builds is not possible as one of two outcomes may occur:
 * 1) A bugcheck with error code 0x7E after the second reboot. This is commonly observed when trying to upgrade from non-componentized builds, such as 4074 (via a registry tweak that reports it as a componentized build).
 * 2) An error during the file copy phase.

WordPad
WordPad does not start, as it will display with  instead.

Outlook Express
Outlook Express does not start due to registry errors and certain dependencies on WinFS.

Themes

 * The Windows Classic theme will not function due to a broken  file.

Explorer

 * CD and DVD drives behave like local disks.
 * Help and Support crashes Explorer.
 * Explorer will crash after adding the display tile in sidebar and won't launch again. A workaround is to create a new account via cmd.

Control Panel

 * Hardware and Devices folder does not open.
 * Sounds Control Panel applet is missing.
 * Task Scheduler from Control Panel shows a nameless folder and generic folder icon.
 * By default, the Phone and Modem Options Control Panel applet name is empty.
 * Computer Management displays script errors due to missing registry entries.
 * Device Manager has a bug that the Hardware Wizard Control Panel applet is missing, so you cannot update drivers. You can install drivers by using devcon from the Windows XP DDK.

Creating folders
The folder creation bug from build 4074 is still present in this build. You can apply a registry key by the following: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.Folder] @="Folder"

DirectX
Although the Desktop Window Manager is present and can be activated by pressing Ctrl + Shift + F9 as in Windows Server 2008 build 4066, it will black screen due to a broken DirectX installation. It can fixed via the instructions listed on the Windows Aero page.

Graphics
Enable VGA Mode after installing video drivers or the system will result in a blue screen of death with a error code.

Windows Product Activation
Windows Product Activation is missing.

Safe mode
The Safe mode is completely broken and results in a bugcheck with code 0x7B. This is because the  key, located in    is largely incomplete and missing a lot of entries. Restoring the key from a build with working safe mode enables this build to boot in safe mode, but the display is not initialized properly which leads to no video output (which is seen as a black screen).
