Windows Me build 2499

Windows Me build 2499 is the official Beta 3 release of Windows Me, released on 11 April 2000https://web.archive.org/web/20030626211158/http://winsupersite.com/reviews/windowsme_gold.asp, which is available in the English, German, Simplified Chinese, Hebrew, Japanese and Korean languages. Traditional Chinese, Arabic and Thai versions are believed to have existed as part of MSDN release of July 2000, as per release notes, but are yet to be available online.
==NFO file==
The following NFO file was included as part of the Vodka release.https://www.krnl386.com/leakdb/?query=2499.7
==Bugs==
Windows Movie Maker cannot be reinstalled after being uninstalled due to setup asking files for the older Windows Media Pad, such as mediapad.exe or mediapad.chm, which already have been renamed.
==Neptune reference==
A file named ICMUI.DLL, with the version number 5.50.5117.1 was found in this Windows Me build, but it is unknown whether this Neptune build was ever compiled.
Some speculate this would've been a Milestone 2 build. It would've been compiled someday after 11 December 1999, meaning it would be one of the last Neptune builds before the Neptune project was canceled in January 2000.
