Windows Vista build 5310

Windows Vista build 5310 is a pre-Beta 2 build of Windows Vista, which was shared by BetaArchive user marcoguy on 19 December 2016. Despite being an eHome OEM build, it does not have the  folder from build 5284 (vbl media ehome) located in the   folder of the DVD.

This is the last build of Windows Vista to use Longhorn branding in the Starter SKU, along with the "Longhorn Starter Edition"  banner first seen in build 5215.

Setup
Setup is mostly similar to the previous build of Vista.

New features and changes

 * This build changes the text on the boot screen to Loading Windows Vista™.
 * The exclusive desktop wallpapers for the Starter SKU have been removed.
 * The set up devices option has been removed from Welcome Center.
 * The Sample Media, Sample Music, Sample Pictures, and Sample Videos folders contain new content.
 * Game ratings are now shown in the details pane rather than the reading pane in Games Explorer.
 * Windows Media Center has been updated with a redesigned title bar and playback controls.
 * IE7's copyright date has been updated to 2006.

Bugs

 * Windows Recovery Environment cannot be accessed from the installation media, since it throws an error upon launching.
 * Installing this build in VMware Workstation 16.x compatibility mode may cause a  error with   bugcheck after the OOBE finishes. When the computer restarts, do the OOBE process again and it will move on without crashing for the second time. Other than that, this build is generally unstable and can randomly crash with the aforementioned error.
 * Upon shutting down, the shutdown sound gets cut off after half a second of playing.
