Windows Vista build 5231.2

Windows Vista build 5231.2 is a pre-Beta 2 build of Windows Vista. It is similar to the original compile, but it contains an x64 architecture version in addition to x86. This build was released as the second CTP (Community Technology Preview) on 17 October 2005. It is also the last build of Windows Vista to use the Windows XP design for the Start menu, as well as the final build to use "Start" text on the Start button, if the Windows Classic theme was not used.

Installation

 * This build will BSOD during the setup on QEMU and modern versions of VMware. Using either VirtualBox or VMware with 5.x or 6.x compatibility is recommended.
 * The  text when launching setup on Windows appears to be distorted on higher resolutions such as 1920x1080.
