VirtualBox clearly has improved Win98se compatibility since the 5.0.x series, but until I can get it to install W98 under VB 5.1.x without glitches on all my systems I'll keep the recommendation to install W98 using VB 4.3.38

Yes, my command window also goes blank and I have to force restart it to get AutoPatcher going, but the Win 98se boot-up sequence gets more and more unstable as the process continues until it can no longer start (except in safe mode) at all.

I've tried installing Win 98se in VirtualBox 5.1 and while the core OS install goes well, it fails while updating the system with AutoPatcher.
Also the sound from the default SoundBlaster 16 is horribly crackly, changing to AC97 at least fixes that aspect.

I'm away from home until Tuesday which is why the tracker is down, hopefully by then then MediaFire's detection issue will have been fixed (nothing apart from Microsoft's signature files has been changed in over a year)

Despite what others have mentioned VirtualBox is still the best option for Win98se
Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 is almost as good but doesn't run on Windows versions after Win7
VMware does have driver support but with no graphics acceleration, not even the software acceleration that the SciTech driver gives you in VirtualBox.

Updated to support version 3.1a of Service Pack 4.
The most notable change to the process for the end user is that now there is only one hotfix, the Visual C++ runtime libraries.

It looks like it will be mainly root certificate and application updates from now on.
Unless there is some other component change they will not be listed in the ChangeLog, however the relevant posts will note the month of latest update.

There are indeed quite a few decent file hash utilities out there these days, although for basic elegance and ease of use reasons, I'll stick with HashTab for now.
It would be nice to get one that also checks digital signatures while it's at it.

I've asked 5eraph to have a look at your issue, it's far better that any problem is fixed within the pack or executables themselves as it's unreasonable to expect end-users to have to deal with nLite's error reporting.

One thing that's missing is support for a decent 3rd party anti-virus solution that still works on XP and can be silently installed.
If anyone can think of one, by all means suggest it.

Just turn off error reporting and let it apply the default actions, it works perfectly well for me.

Applications:
Dropped Avast AV from the supported applications list as definition updates for the older v8.0.1497 always incur an error and using the latest version is like driving with the handbrake on. So if anyone cares to nominate a good free AV that can be silently installed, I'll add it to the supported applications list.
Shadowdrake:
Do you have the latest version of 5eraph's delta addon (the first release had a problem)?
nLite is certainly fine with slipstreaming WMP11 first, I do it all the time that way. I'll take a look with CertMgr.msc for confirmation that the certificates have been applied , but I'd be very surprised if they weren't.

5eraph has created updated versions of the certificate lists, they are now used in place of the outdated Microsoft versions.
Unfortunately the last 2 versions of Ricktendo's .Net 4.0 installer don't play well with XP x64, so one will have to use the Microsoft version for now.
The problems I'd noted with using VirtualBox's experimental D3D drivers seem to have been resolved by application updates.

Repacked the Grant Access and TweakUI utilities and added them to the base install.
Added the nLite process screenshots to the archives and torrent.
It looks like there will only be .Net 4.0 updates from now on.
Also got one of those cool 3D jigsaws, but my god they're expensive

Restructure Notes
- It is critically important to run UpdatePrep.bat
- The nLite integrated hotfixes have been renumbered
- Support for Ricktendo's .Net 4.0 installer has been added
- The files for applying SP2 from within a 32-bit enviroment are now included
- The folder and files layout has been changed
- The commands in nLite to launch the batch files have changed
- You can now split the intall media between a DVD and a USB flash drive
- Hence you can do a "final" updated DVD and just update the applications on the flash drive
To think that if I'd happened across the patch to allow Civilization II to be played on Win XP x64, it's quite likely that none of this would have come to pass.
Still Windows XP Professional x64 edition (AKA Server 2003 Home) has servered me well for over ten years, beginning with the public beta in early 2005, so it's a fond farewell.

Purged a few obsolete versions of GDI+ from after April 2014, there are still some redundant versions of GDI+ from before April 2014 in there, but Windows update whines if they are removed.
This might be the last set of updates for Windows XP Professional x64 edition (or if you prefer, Server 2003 x64 Home), either way there will be a clean up and reworking of the topic.
The main change will be to make it so the install media can be split between an unchanging CD and a USB stick with all the latest applications, similarly to how it is done in my Windows 2000 guide.

Also rearranged the folder structure so that all the files and folders that are copied to the installation media (DVD or USB stick) are within the \W2K\ directory.
This does mean that the base CD changes (different GuiRunOnce command) but you can still use an old one, just move \W2K\Run1.bat to \Run1_W2Ksp5.bat

VirtualBox Windows 98se step by step
in Pinned Topics regarding 9x/ME
Posted
Neighbour: What processor does your host machine have? I ask because it turns out that while a 98se guest install fails on my current machine (Haswell-E i7-5930K) it installs fine on my old machine (Core 2 Quad Q9450) and I seem to recall something about newer host processors sometimes having an impact on other guest OS installations.
135th: I've fixed the SciTech Display Driver link but this stupid new forum software won't allow me to update the QuickTime Alternative link.
