    Supposedly, TweakNT supports debombing this build, but when I run the program, it says that a Visual Basic 6.0 file is missing. After that, I tried both a Visual Basic runtime package that I found on the internet and the full environment and it does not work. Did someone get it working on this build? If yes, how?

    I see that it is an update to the full Visual Basic 6.0.

    Why you don't remove the timebomb from the SETUPREG.HIV file at the first place, before installation?

    I have seen that method. According to what I have read, it is necessary to boot inside Microsoft Windows Preinstalation Enviroment.

    Nope, SETUPREG.HIV is not existing in already installed OS.
    Follow the steps under Q6. paragraph 2. For removing Timebomb... on [GUIDE] Free Windows Permanent Evaluation Method (NT5.X - x86-only) from my signature.
