Windows Nashville build 999

Windows Nashville build 999 is the only leaked build of Windows Nashville. It was found on the third disc in the CrazyBytes 5 warez CD compilation.

It contains "Athena PIM", which was ultimately released as Microsoft Internet Mail and News in 1996 and later evolved into Outlook Express. The branding still says "Windows 95" in most places, except in Add/Remove Programs, where it says "Windows 96", and in the Command Prompt, where the  command reports "Windows Nashville". The sliding effect for menus is also included.

This build also includes a near-final version of Internet Explorer 2.0, but with very early shell integration added on top. This includes changes to Windows Explorer 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 does not seem to be possible to browse the web without installing a regular version of Internet Explorer on top. This way a proper  is installed, but it also seems to break the integrated web browsing capability.

Installation
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  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.

Drivers
VMware Tools graphics drivers cannot be installed on this build as they will not be able to support resolutions higher than 640x480x16.
