Compiling ACPI v2.0 driver for Windows XP SP3 and Windows 2003 SP2 (x32/x64)
Here are compiled ACPI2.0 v4 from latest sources
1) x86 Windows XP x86 SP3 (5.1.2600.7777.4) + Windows Server 2003 SP2 (5.2.3790.7777.4) debug and free
2) x64 Windows Server 2003 / XP SP2 (5.2.3790.7777.4) debug and free

Extras included:
a) _OSI extra OS list to unlock hidden devices
b) modded acpiosnt.rc to overwrite PruductVersion attribute in file info, replaced "," with "." so it's now in same logic as other standard files, added .4 to easily detect which patch was used as build base

This explains better but Dependency Walker only checks if DLL is the import table. At runime a program can use LoadLibrary() to call other dlls. I looked through all the DLL from DepWalker that Crystal uses, but didnt see one that was "wbem" or "wmi" sounding...
I tried replacing the 4 WMI related DLLs that Crystal needs into the windows sys folder. Dependency wise there was no issues, but Crystal still crashed.
In IDA, there is a "Suspended on Library load/unload". Running it, it looks like ntdll.dll is where wbmprox first loads, but a bunch of other DLLs load in that same spot is how it looked to me in IDA. No idea how to look up where it was in ntdll.dll itself...
Sumbled upon a "debug" setting that can be turned on in Crystal's ini. In there, the last entry before failure was "CMD_TYPE_NVME_INTEL". Opening up DiskInfo.exe, subroutine was findable with that name. A lot of IdentifyDevice, AddDevice calls, most ending up at a block with many inputs (all the Info/Add Devices Intel/Samsung/etc...) just before sub exits. Adding a breakpoint, it looks like Crystal gets through the NVME_INTEL block, and errors out at the MultiBlock.. Jumped out @4cf96 74 -> EB to skip "AddDiskNVMe - CMD_TYPE_NVME_INTEL". CDI starts at least, but nvme does not show up. Then tried skiping "DoIdentifyDeviceNVMeIntel" which calls ""AddDiskNVMe - CMD_TYPE_NVME_INTEL" @4ced8 74 77 -> 90 90 @4cf4b 0F 85 0A 01 00 00 -> E9 0B 01 00 00 90. Same things starts, but no nvme.

00001110 DoIdentifyDeviceNVMeIntel
00001110 AddDiskNVMe - CMD_TYPE_NVME_INTEL
Looked further up the logfile. Compared one with wbemprox removed to a normal one.
no wbem / works

Searched around on on those keywords. ConnectServer() to a wmi server maybe? Ended up in two subroutines that sounded interesting. Saw "\\.\root\cimv2" which was familiar...
Borrowed a quick vbscript to try wmi. Breaking the path stops it from working.
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\CIMV2")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Process" & _
" WHERE Name = 'cscript.exe'" & " OR Name = 'wscript.exe'",,48)
For Each objItem in colItems
Wscript.Echo "-------------------------------------------"
Wscript.Echo "CommandLine: " & objItem.CommandLine
Wscript.Echo "Name: " & objItem.Name
Next
So in DiskInfo32 or DiskInfo64, find where "\ \ . \ r o o t \ c i m v 2" is with hex editor and change it to something like "\ \ . \ r o o t \ n o w m i". 630069006D00760032 -> 6E006F0077006D0069
Then let DiskInfo handle the error of a missing wmi the same way as if wbemprox file was missing.

Crystal Disk Info modded to stop WMI from loading.

I tried both 32 and 64bit version on my XP64. Both worked with my samsung nvme (didnt load NVMe size like for SSD/HDD but that info should be in the model names anyway).
Now for the real question. Has anyone tried to use the samsung NVMe driver with a not samsung nvme? I only have the one so I cant test but I would be interested to see if the driver would work and pass through SMART for other manufactures.
I tested the generic driver inf for samsung originally posted by Fernando and it worked for my samsung. Here's the same one for x86. (I leave it to you guys to mod the secnvme for x86).
I just build an XP SP3 with the Sata driver from Kai and the storport.sys with SMART support, with all updates for XP and my last acpi.sys from last August.
For USB I use the from Win8.1 ported driver.
It boots XP SP3 on all(!) my Intel boards from x58 to z690, always all USB works,
