Windows 8 Darkness 2.0 is a bootleg Windows 8 Enterprise edition, which was created by SalvaXP. It released on February 11, 2013, and was added to the archive on June 2, 2023.

Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows 8 Enterprise ISO. It comes with many programs included, predominantly DesktopX widgets that don't function by default. It comes with some themes, some wallpapers and some other things. That's all.

The setup boots into the partition screen. After setup, the OS will boot into the lock screen by default. Then after logging in, Post Install by SalvaXP (based on RunOnceEx) will open which will install all of the bundled programs on the CD.

It is unattended and preactivated. The ISO was made using WinReducer 0.36.

Notes

Bootleg quirks

  • The funny thing is, DesktopX executables are incompatible with Windows 8. Since the author completely neglected this fact, NONE of them will run by default. You have to set the compatibility mode to Windows XP SP3 to get them to fully work. Only "Bouncyclock" will run without it.
