@ LoneCrusader I have this, tested only win95 b (4.00.950) [setup] ProductID=XXXXX-OEM-XXXXXXX-XXXXX CCP=0 ProductType=1 I have not tried other features, you can copy the functions MSBATCH.INF win98?

Hi LoneCrusader, MDGx, Dencorso I built a Slipstreamer to implement this project automatically installing Windows 95. "Folders iosubsys and vmm32"; Moved to CPUFIX.CAB all new files (*. VXD, *. PDR) and extracted from this, not the original Win95 .CAB's "Ndis.vxd"; the script extracts the "net.inf" and changes, and "Ndis.vxd" is not copied during the installation, is also removed part of the REGISTRY, no more error: "Ndis.vxd missing...". PS: DUP14-95 correct these changes after ... "Client for NetWare Networks"; With a change in the "Netcli.inf", let the installation proceed without disabling this service... "DUP14-95.exe"; Added in the Session "RunOnce" from "SETUPC.INF" (HKLM,Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run,Dun14-95,"c:\win95\Dun14-95.exe /q") DUP14-95.exe is installed in unattended mode with Windows 95 Setup will install the Windows 95 now? prepare the hard disk copy the "WIN95" folder from Windows 95 cdrom to "C:\" copy CPUFIX.BAT, CPUFIX.CAB and DUP14-95.exe to the "C:\WIN95" From the "c:\WIN95" type "cpufix.bat" and wait for the complete installation Yes, restart Uhoo!! finished Download CPUFIX: http://www.sendspace.com/file/enw21a Download DUN14-95: http://download.microsoft.com/download/win...us/dun14-95.exe give me some feedback My System Windows 95 4.00.950 B (Portuguese Brazil) AMD Atlhon 64 Processor 4000+ 2.41GHZ Mobo Asus A8v Deluxe 512 MB Gforce 5200

Update 28/01/2010 Download: http://win98livecd.winbuilder.net/ -Added some files from Unofficial SP2 (USER, GDI and others..) -New script - Eset NOD32 2.7 trial -New script - Lavalys Everest Ultimate v 5.30 trial -Fixed VDK erros -Fixed a lot file depencies (ask for "Insert CD ROM Windows 98 Second Edition") NOD32 Running on Win98LiveCD Everest running on Win98LiveCD PS: The new scripts does not contain any files or parts attached to the package Win98LiveCdBuider, you need internet connection to download packages from the author site and Winbuilder add them to the project.

win95 working fine! AMD Atlhon 64 processor 4000+ 2.40 ghz mobo asus av8 512 ram thanks LoneCrusader BeatZero

@betaluva is indeed possible to create Windows 95 LiveCD, based on this project, but will not know if compatibility, stability ... hardware detection Currently I have tested the "KERNELEX" to the project, and had good results, only tested with Firefox 3.5.7, and work fine. But I found some disadvantages (for Win98LiveCD projet only) require a lot of dependencies, leaving the image with approximately 100MB Another plan I have, add support for multimedia, I made some of experiments, but with little success, there is often the unfortunate error "MMSYSTEM002" This is a classic error in win98 Finally, the ideas keep coming to mind , but I not have free time to develop @kamahl good tip, thank's BeatZero

@jaclaz look in WinBuilder Tab "Source" Tab "Work Directory" in "source directory (%sourcedir%)" text box: set to driverleter:\ NOT to driverleter:\Win98\ this is a bug that should fix soon, but I'm still confused between many commas and points in WinBuilder Scripts PS: Do not forget to choose the language for compilation, the scripts: basic programs A good week BeatZero

thanks guys all url's working now BeatZero

Update 15/01/2010 Download http://win98livecd.winbuilder.net/ -Added Italian lang -Added Czech lang -Added Quick Launch Tool Bar -Fixed Start Menu "Documents" item...

@MDGx, thanks for the reply, but I tried all these alternative you suggest, but have not had success Some links in "http://www.mdgx.com/dos.htm#ME" are not working http://www.geocities.com/mfd4life_2000/ http://www.windowsxlive.net/?page_id=18 http://www.overclockers.com.au/techstuff/a_dos_me/ I used the command line "rundll32.exe shell32.dll,SHExitWindowsEx #" (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 ) restart or shutdown computer only. WinME with Win95 Shell: "RUNDLL32.EXE USER.EXE,ExitWindowsExec" restart computer only. @Jaclaz and MDGx, Thanks for help I will continue my project, but only with support for Windows 98 SE. BeatZero

I agree, I think I'm forgetting some details ... I used the patch to IO.SYS, COMMAND.COM & REGENV32.EXE, edited CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT and worked msdos using the F8 key (here's OK) But when you start WinME, I can not restart in MS-DOS, the item "Restart to msdos" not exist in shutdown dialogue (bahh), then created the "EXIT TO DOS.PIF" and asks me a stupid error message: "This program can only be run in REAL MODE, and this version of Windows without the support, bla bla bla" 5 = Exit To DOS: the "Exit To DOS.PIF" MS-DOS shortcut (Program Information File) is created ONLY IF using Windows 98 (Microsoft REMOVED completely native/real/true/pure MS-DOS mode from Windows ME!), then close all running processes/threads/executables/TSRs and close all open programs, and then shut down the Windows GUI to the native/real/true/pure MS-DOS mode prompt, which can be "unhidden" by running the MODE CO80 command. Read "2 DOS OR NOT 2 DOS", also in MYTIPS95.TXT [part of W95-11D.EXE], to learn how to do this properly. FYI: You CAN regain access to MS-DOS mode if using Windows ME by applying the Unofficial DOS Patch, which modifies COMMAND.COM + IO.SYS (from C:\Windows\Command\EBD) + REGENV32.EXE (from C:\Windows\System) to allow Windows ME to boot to native MS-DOS and use DOS mode startup files (AUTOEXEC.BAT + CONFIG.SYS), Windows 95/98 style. Conclusion: The patch actually works and adds the msdos native to WinME Only in selected boot in F8 But if you load Windows, and try to restart in msdos, the REAL MODE, there is more For now I'll abandon the idea of creating a LiveCD with windows ME

Not work I have tested all options 0 to 9 in command line "rundll32.exe shell32.dll,SHExitWindowsEx *" only restart or shutdown computer, BSoD's some times...

@ betaluva, this patch had already been tested without success. It only enables the MS-DOS clicking F8 during boot. What I really seek is a function "exit to ms-dos" (like Win95/98) This feature is important because the first stage of the boot, windows detect and install the drivers ... with runonce.exe patched, after this step, the computer does not restart, goes out to ms-dos and load the windows again, with the drivers installed and enabled.

betaluva, you cannot create a project with Windows ME, based on this, because the winme does not support the mode "restart in MS-DOS mode" is there a patch that adds this feature to Windows ME?

@Betaluva Take a look in the cab files of IE 6 setup files, the file "Mailnews.cab" there is "msoe50.inf" should be the basis of studies, just to get OE 6

Mozilla Firefox works fine (ver. 2.0) Thunderbird never tested (I believe it works) Outlook never tested (require a lot IE DLL's, increase image size) The main use a live CD. is a tool for maintenance, repairs, backups, etc ... disk tools. disk images, partition manager. removal of viruses and spyware ... BeatZero

You need to choose the language the scripts: BASIC \ Windows 98 Live CD Base Programs \ Grafics Programs \ Internet Programs \ Shell Programs \ Tolls you compiled it in Portuguese-Brazil

With qemu I had some problems too, try VMWare or Virtual PC I have not found a stable version and 100% compatible qemu for this project VMWare and Virtual PC work fine

I'm Happy! Experiment and post your experiences any suggestions are welcome BeatZero

look in WinBuilder Tab "Source" Tab "Work Directory" in "source directory (%sourcedir%)" text box: set to c:\ NOT to c:\Win98\

What is your version of win98? first edition or second edition? What is the language of this version? (this project only works with WIN98 SE) Take a look in the archives: LAYOUT.INF, Layout1.inf & Layout2.inf, with NOTEPAD, search for "Kommctrl.dll", the result should look like this: Issetup.dll = 1,, 13,111 kommctrl.dll = 1,, 155,363 LZEXPAND.DLL = 1,, 23,696 = 1 represents. Where is the CAB file (precopy1.cab) go above and see: [sourceDisksNames] ; Cabinet file names and associated disks ; <cab#> = <disk#>, <cabinet Filename>, ID (Unused, must be 0) 1 = "CD-ROM Windows 98 Second Edition," "precopy1.cab", 0 2 = "CD-ROM Windows 98 Second Edition," "precopy2.cab", 0

Update 06/01/2010 http://www.sendspace.com/file/jtjcrq -Added USB drivers *USB Keyboard and mouse (HID) *USB MassStorage (Native USB drivers Ver-3.3 by Maximus Decim) -Added Portuguese-Portugal lang -Fixed some bugs ...

Update 29/12/2009 http://www.sendspace.com/file/z88clf -Added script Windows 98 Shell -Added script to memory above 1GB -Fixed some bugs ...

New release = http://www.sendspace.com/file/51fd58 The project has been updated, all scripts were modified and integrated with WinBuilder. The use of IMDISK is no longer necessary. Fixed some bugs... "A happy Christmas to all!" BeatZero

luluthefirst.. try run "MAKEISO.CMD"

Jaclaz, thanks for the tips, I will deploy in the next build .. actually I'm thinking of converting the scripts, and use them with WINBUILDER, what you tell me that idea?
