Thanks for that mate! That was all I needed, and means I do not have to continue my vain search, not to mention that file was nice and small for my poor little Aussie internet connection EDIT: And hooray, I have found the correct my computer icon! Thank you!!! Now I can stop these big downloads before I am capped No problem. I spent 6+ years on Dial-Up so I understand to some extent. Just so happened I had downloaded that same file a few days ago, MDGx has it linked and I saw it when I was collecting 95 things, so I knew just where to go to get the link. Otherwise I would have been digging around as well lol

Look for EXPLORER.EXE inside this.

I have several links for you. A couple of links on Unattended Installs, have some discussion of OEM installations: Here and Here. Information on the various Product Types of Windows 9x OS's: Here and Here. Good Luck!

I tried examining GDI.EXE with MiTeC EXE Explorer, and there didn't seem to be anything like a timestamp or compilation date anywhere inside. Also tried PEDUMP with the syntax you posted in the other threads, it generated no output whatsoever, even tried redirecting output to a .TXT file, and it was blank. eXeScope didn't find anything either. GDI32.DLL did yield some results however. Each version seems to have two instances of "TimeDateStamp," but they are usually within a few seconds of each other. GDI32.GLL version 4.00.1112 for OSR2 from Q229670: TimeDateStamp: 398F4DE4 -> Mon Aug 07 20:01:40 2000 TimeDateStamp: 398F4DDD -> Mon Aug 07 20:01:33 2000 GDI32.DLL version 4.00.954 for 95 Original from Q229670: TimeDateStamp: 39C2632F -> Fri Sep 15 13:58:07 2000 TimeDateStamp: 39C2632C -> Fri Sep 15 13:58:04 2000 GDI32.DLL version 4.00.955 from Q247578: TimeDateStamp: 39D4D9EF -> Fri Sep 29 14:05:35 2000 TimeDateStamp: 39D4D9EC -> Fri Sep 29 14:05:32 2000 GDI32.DLL version 4.00.970 from MSAA: TimeDateStamp: 32346E9C -> Mon Sep 09 15:23:08 1996 TimeDateStamp: 32091696 -> Wed Aug 07 18:20:06 1996 Going by these results it would seem that the MSAA versions are actually the oldest. Q247578 is the newest, but it supposedly not for OSR2. The Q229670 KB article claims it should have versions 4.01.971 for 95 Original (but doesn't?), so does that mean that Q229670 version 4.00.1112 for OSR2 is the OSR2 equivalent of Original 4.01.971? If so, then the Q229670 HotFix must contain the last version for OSR2. The version discrepancy between the Q229670 KB article and the actual files it contains is puzzling. It should contain 4.01.971 files for 95 Original, but does not. In fact, there does not seem to be any GDI32.DLL version 4.01.971, and the only GDI.EXE with that version is in the W95EURO package and has an earlier timestamp than all of these other files.

That would be the logical assumption of course. But I think Microsoft didn't exactly follow logic with several of these Windows 95 updates. The main problem seems to be that a good many of the files in OSR2+ still carry 4.00.950 version numbers instead of being bumped to 4.00.1111. This GDI.EXE and GDI32.DLL issue is the worst that I have found so far, and honestly, I don't know how to sort it out. My Windows 95C CABs contain GDI.EXE and GDI32.DLL version 4.00.950. Note there are no 4.00.1111 versions. MDGx lists the Q247578 HotFix (containing GDI.EXE and GDI32.DLL version 4.00.955) as being for 95 Original and OSR2, and the files work in OSR2 if manually installed, but the installer says that it is "not for this version of Windows" when I try to run it. A link to an older KB article under it at MDGx's links to Q229670. Q229670 contains two versions of GDI.EXE and GDI32.DLL, 4.00.1112 for OSR2, and 4.00.954 for 95 Original. The KB article claims that it should include 4.01.971 for 95 Original, but it does not. I just acquired this HotFix with the HotFix request form, so I know I'm using their "current" version of it. Following these links, there is a link to Microsoft Active Accessibility with a note saying it installs a newer GDI.EXE and GDI32.DLL version 4.01.971. However, the GDI.EXE and GDI32.DLL contained in MSAA are version 4.01.970, not 971. MSAA automatically overwrites 1112 versions I had installed with its own 4.01.970 versions. And, to top it off, the W95EURO update installs GDI.EXE 4.01.971, but no GDI32.DLL. This 971 version has an earlier timestamp than any of the previously mentioned files, but has the "latest" version number. It's a mad house.. a mad house!!

I have sent you a PM with my email address. I'm not picky, Ill take updates for all versions. And really the only way to sort some of them is to actually extract the files and compare them to the ones in the CABs... I have found some files with later version numbers but earlier timestamps than the ones in the CABs, at least one update (Q247578) that will not install on OSR2, even though the files contained in it are newer and work perfectly when substituted manually, have a situation with GDI.EXE and GDI32.DLL where v4.00.1112 files exist to replace the originals at v4.00.950, but v4.01.971 files exist and are newer than the 1112 versions. And the list goes on. Still unable to find the English Q282901 HotFix anywhere. This one is really driving me nuts. Also looking for the source of at least two files contained in the 95 USP, VNETBIOS.VXD with a Q262528 reference (unable to find a KB article for this one, even with the Wayback Machine ) CONFIGMG.VXD v4.00.1113 - I have 1112; 1114 exists in the missing Q282901 HotFix, but I can find no references to 1113 at all. On the bright side I have managed to slipstream 50+ updates with RLoew's slipstreaming tools. Including the addition of an .INF file that makes all of the registry entries for each of the updates.

You can just use the original v1.1.1.0 patch + the "WON2 Listing Patch" instead of the 1.1.1.2 update, may fix your problem, I haven't used the 1.1.1.1 or 1.1.1.2 patches.

I'd like to see some discussion of this issue as well. For the moment, there's the Steamless CounterStrike Project, which will allow you to play the various HL1 games in their original state without Steam. Of course this does not address the HL2+ games. I read somewhere that if you already had Steam installed before they dropped Windows 98 support, and did not allow it to update itself, then you could still use it. I can't vouch for this, as I have never had Steam installed, and probably never will. (I refuse to install or buy any game that requires it, or requires any form of "online activation" garbage.) However, if one could track down the installer for a version of it prior to the end of 98 support, then one might manage to work around the issue.

MSBATCH.INF can be very quirky. I spent many hours trying to get proper MSBATCH.INF's written for my 95C, 98SE, and ME installations. 95C was the hardest. I'll post my working 98SE MSBATCH.INF here for you, you can check and see if it differs from yours in style or specific sections. The "Product Type" of your installation may be affecting it as well, (especially the Product Key issue) i.e. if it is an OEM CD, Full Retail, etc etc. ; MSBATCH.INF ; ; Copyright (c) 1995-1998 Microsoft Corporation. ; All rights reserved. ; [BatchSetup] Version=3.0 (32-bit) SaveDate=01/17/10 [Version] Signature = "$CHICAGO$" AdvancedINF=2.5 LayoutFile=layout.inf [Setup] Express=0 InstallDir="C:\WINDOWS" NoDirWarn=1 InstallType=3 OptionalComponents=1 ShowEula=0 ProductKey="XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX" EBD=0 Uninstall=0 TimeZone="Eastern" [System] Locale=L0409 SelectedKeyboard=KEYBOARD_00000409 [NameAndOrg] Name="Your Name" Display=0 [Network] ComputerName=YourCompName Description=YourCompDesc Clients=VREDIR Protocols=NWLINK, MSTCP Security=SHARE [NWLINK] Frame_Type=4 [MSTCP] DHCP=1 DNS=0 WINS=D [VREDIR] ValidatedLogon=0 [OptionalComponents] "Accessibility"=0 "Accessibility Options"=0 "Accessibility Tools"=0 "Accessories"=1 "Briefcase"=0 "Calculator"=1 "Desktop Wallpaper"=1 "Document Templates"=1 "Games"=1 "Imaging"=1 "Mouse Pointers"=1 "Paint"=1 "Quick View"=1 "Screen Savers"=1 "Additional Screen Savers"=1 "Flying Windows"=1 "OpenGL Screen Savers"=1 "Windows Scripting Host"=1 "WordPad"=1 "Communications"=1 "Dial-Up Networking"=1 "Dial-Up Server"=0 "Direct Cable Connection"=1 "Hyper Terminal"=0 "Microsoft Chat 2.5"=0 "NetMeeting"=0 "Phone Dialer"=0 "Virtual Private Networking"=1 "Desktop Themes"=1 "Baseball"=1 "Dangerous Creatures"=1 "Desktop Themes Support"=1 "Inside your Computer"=1 "Jungle"=1 "Leonardo da Vinci"=1 "More Windows"=1 "Mystery"=1 "Nature"=1 "Science"=1 "Space"=1 "Sports"=1 "The 60's USA"=1 "The Golden Era"=1 "Travel"=1 "Underwater"=1 "Windows 98"=1 "Internet Tools"=0 "Microsoft FrontPage Express"=0 "Microsoft VRML 2.0 Viewer"=0 "Microsoft Wallet"=0 "Personal Web Server"=0 "Real Audio Player 4.0"=1 "Web Publishing Wizard"=0 "Web-Based Enterprise Mgmt"=0 "Multilanguage Support"=0 "Baltic"=0 "Central European"=0 "Cyrillic"=0 "Greek"=0 "Turkish"=0 "Multimedia"=1 "Audio Compression"=1 "CD Player"=1 "Macromedia Shockwave Director"=1 "Macromedia Shockwave Flash"=1 "Media Player"=1 "Microsoft NetShow Player 2.0"=1 "Multimedia Sound Schemes"=1 "Sample Sounds"=1 "Sound Recorder"=1 "Video Compression"=1 "Volume Control"=1 "Online Services"=0 "America Online"=0 "AT&T WorldNet Service"=0 "CompuServe"=0 "Prodigy Internet"=0 "The Microsoft Network"=0 "System Tools"=1 "Backup"=1 "Character Map"=1 "Clipboard Viewer"=1 "Disk compression tools"=1 "Drive Converter (FAT32)"=1 "Group Policies"=0 "Net Watcher"=1 "System Monitor"=1 "System Resource Meter"=1 "Web TV for Windows"=0 "Broadcast Data Services" "WaveTop Data Broadcasting"=0 "WebTV for Windows"=0 "Internet Connection Sharing"=0 "Dial-Up ATM Support"=0 "Outlook Express"=1 "Address Book"=1 "Macromedia Shockwave"=1

By all means use the P4. I would choose the ATI 9600XT video card, but there are several NVidia fans here that may disagree. If you want to use more than 512MB of RAM, I do not recommend the Unofficial Service Pack. I recommend RLoew's RAM patch instead. RLoew also has solutions for using hard drives >137GB if you plan to use one. After installing 98SE, you should install DirectX 9.0c from December 2006. (This is the last version for Windows 9x and will probably be a requirement for the drivers of the newer Video cards you listed.) And, while optional, may improve compatibility with other programs - Internet Explorer 6 SP1. After that, it's all about your own personal taste in program selection. Browsers.. Well, Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last official Firefox for Windows 9x. This is what I use. I believe Opera 10.63 is the last official Opera for Windows 9x (Opera fans correct me if I'm wrong).

Success!! Of course I owe all of my success to submix8c for finding the right version of DIAMOND.EXE, jaclaz for finding relevant documentation, and to rloew for his Slipstreaming Tools and taking the time to test and script it for me. I now have a set of De-Spanned Windows 95 CABs properly compressed with QUANTUM. Now on to slipstreaming updated files. Thanks for all your help so far!

To "slipstream" an updated version of a system file, or virtually any file contained in the CAB files, all one has to do is simply place the newer version in the \WIN98 folder, and SETUP will use it instead of searching through the CABs for the older version. Of course this can get out of hand with a lot of updated files, but it is helpful for addressing specific issues, or issues that may crash or corrupt the installation process. (Good examples being the >2.1GHz processor bug on 95/98FE, and the >137GB HDD issue on all 9x) I think I read somewhere once that SETUP would detect any drivers placed in the folder with the CAB files during installation. One should not have to manually install the .inf using this method, the installer should use it. But, I have not tried it myself so I can't speak from experience.

Hello BenoitRen, welcome to the thread. I had been waiting for one of our resident Windows 95 users to get involved. While I use 98SE now, I moved up from 95 unwillingly a few years back so I am still very fond of it, and I enjoy working with it. Also, as you were the OP of the thread I referenced in my original post, I had hoped that you might have archived some of the updates that Petr listed.

I think he is trying to slipstream the driver into an install CD, not install it on a system that is already set up. In which case I think all one needs to do is simply place it in the \WIN98 folder... I know this works for system file updates, never tried it for drivers but I do remember reading about it a long time ago.

Well, really it isn't far off topic.. I am collecting updates and tools to archive them, but I am also working on building myself a slipstreamed Windows 95C install with plans to do the same for 98SE later on. I'd also like to say thanks, and great find. You seem to have a knack for finding things, I remember the MSBATCH thread. Now for the details. Honestly, I'm in over my head here. Completely new to working on CAB files, and I'm having to learn as I go. So I don't have any results yet. It was brought to my attention that the Windows 95 CAB files used the QUANTUM compression, and while one can rebuild 95 CABs using MSZIP, the compression is less efficient. Not that it's a major issue, it just irked me that the proper tool for the job seemed? to have disappeared. Using the newer LZX compression crashes the Windows 95 SETUP.EXE.

AFAIK, the last Windows 98 compatible version of uTorrent, without KernelEx, is 1.8.5.17091. I read that somewhere here, but I can't remember where.

Thanks for the links and the name of the file I needed to be looking for I have downloaded CABDEVKT.EXE and the companion CABRSCKT.EXE and looked through their documentation. It appears that the QUANTUM compression type is still not supported by these older tools. From the documentation: There are several tools that can compress using MSZIP, but nothing seems to be able to duplicate the QUANTUM compression used for Windows 95 CAB's.

I had never heard of an "AGI" slot before. Some Googling resulted in these pages: AGI slot? What is AGI? ASRock A.G.I.8X From what I read there, it seems that AGI began as some kind of proprietary slot to "tack on" a graphics card slot to motherboards with integrated graphics. The only advice I can give is to be absolutely certain you have disabled everything related to the integrated graphics chip in the BIOS... My guess is that while Windows 2K/XP may not "see" any difference between AGP and AGI, DOS/WIN9X does "see" a difference. Does the motherboard have Windows 98 drivers for all of its components?

I don't have CorelDraw and I don't use KernelEx, but I checked my system to see what versions of those files I have. All of mine are either the same or older than the ones you are using. My system has very few modifications from a vanilla 98SE install, as far as updates go I have IE6, WMP7, DX9c, NUSB3.3, and RLoew's RAM Limitation Patch 5.1 installed. comdlg32.dll --- same as yours but unmodified expsrv.dll -------- 6.0.8540 mfc42.dll -------- 6.00.8665.0 msjet35.dll ----- same msjint35.dll ---- same msjter35.dll ---- same msvcrt.dll ------- 6.10.8924.0 ole32.dll -------- 4.71.2900 oleaut32.dll ---- 2.40.4518 olepro32.dll ---- 5.0.4518 rpcrt4.dll -------- 4.71.2900 shdocvw.dll ---- 6.00.2800.1203 shell32.dll ------ 4.72.3612.1700 shlwapi.dll ----- 6.00.2800.1226 shw32.dll ------ 4.01 user32.dll ------ 4.10.2231 wininet.dll ------ 6.00.2800.1106 On my system, SHW32.DLL was installed by Age of Empires II, the only copy I have is in the game folder.

List has been Updated. I must admit I wasn't expecting such quick responses for a Windows 95 issue, but I'm pleasantly surprised. I am in the process of organizing the files that I have. I spent a couple of hours at MDGx's archiving all of the updates he has listed, I found a few dead links that I have informed him of. I believe bristols has the files in those links, if not I will list them here. I have yet to cover all of the pages you all provided, still working on it. I do know of one specific HotFix that I have been unable to locate, so I will go ahead and list it. I used MDGx's HotFix request form, and only the Japanese version seems to be available from Microsoft. I have been unable to locate the English version. Q282901 - Drive Letters Are Not Assigned for SCSI Devices This particular fix is important because it contains the last known versions of IOS.VXD (4.00.1115) and CONFIGMG.VXD (4.00.1114) for Windows 95. Thanks for the help guys

Thanks for the links, I'll be fighting with archive.org trying to see all of those sites and download anything useful. Many of the updates are no doubt included in the Unofficial Service Pack, and if all else fails I can extract some files that I cannot find elsewhere from it. I am not a fan of all-in-one service packs, they are appropriate in some cases but not in all. Especially if they contain "unofficial" updates, everyone has their own taste and may not want certain things. Meaning no disrespect whatsoever to erpdude8, I respect his knowledge and his work that he has contributed to the community, but I tried installing the Service Pack on one of my test machines during the development of FIX95CPU, and it rendered the system unbootable. I'm working on a list to be added to the first post, right now listing the updates that I have archived, and then I will list specific ones that I am lacking.

Hello everyone, as the title says I'm looking for old Windows 95 updates and tools. Anything and everything, as they are all but disappeared from the Internet. I know MDGx has several on his website, and I have archived most of these, but I know there are several others out there. In the second post of This Thread, Petr made a list of many updated 95 files, and said that he had collected the updates. I have attempted to contact him, but have not received a response. If anyone else has any of these files archived, I'd appreciate your help. Also, if anyone happens to have a copy of the early Cabinet Resource Kit that includes DIAMOND.EXE and the related documentation, that would be very helpful as well. (Windows 95 CAB's are compressed with QUANTUM compression, and Windows 95 Setup only understands QUANTUM or MSZIP, not the LZX format used by 98/ME) *DIAMOND.EXE FOUND! Thanks to submix8c. Thanks in advance! EDIT - Adding lists of updates. Will be updated/modified/rearranged as necessary. ***List Updated 1-20-2011 6:00PM EST*** Let's concentrate on updates for OSR 2.0 - OSR 2.5 for starters. Some updates include files for multiple Windows 95 versions however, so let's not lose any of those in the process. These updates I already have archived. If you have or are aware of multiple or different versions of any of these, or one of these updates with a different name, it may be worthy of further investigation.

Aha! Thanks dencorso

Sorry, I can't. While it's OK to distribute patched files, one still cannot distribute the whole OS. The modifications aren't difficult to do, don't be afraid to try for yourself. If you have any problems, post here for help.

Same here I have always used WMP 7 or 7.1, even on 98SE. I don't like the way WMP9 looks, to much XP-Lego-Look for my taste. I may install 6.4 in a VM and play with it if I get a chance. For the record - I seem to remember a while back seeing an unofficial method for installing WMP9 on 98FE and possibly 95, but I can no longer find the relevant pages. Anyone else remember this?
