Hi erpdude8,
I can confirm that i have my 98SE partition on C:\, and XP Home is on the D:\ partition.
I will have to make a Norton Ghost backup of my C:\ again.
And i will try to install it again over the next few days, and let you know what happens with it.
Hi,
Please, don't forget to read Installation Guide before installing the SP 2.0.1.

- Do not allows to check >128GB disk if it is not filled by data more than 128GB.
Thanks!
But I don't understand that. Can you explain?0 -
Without a problem!.. Anything more?
Nope!

Tihiy,
Could you add an alert into this Scandisk utility for 137 GB problem ? If anyone tries to scan a 137+ GB disk, this tool should warn the user like that "the drive may be corrupt".
0 -
Tihiy has not said that this scandisk addresses any of the concerning issues and imo alot of people will not have problems with the 137 GB limit as their existing partitions will be smaller than this. i 've made my views on unnecessary hacked file inclusion in the SP pretty clear previously and for much the same reasons as Rhelic. it seems much better suited (what with the skinning and added icons) to Tihiy's own ongoing projects. It is not a hacked file... However, I will make optional these tools.
We wrote that on various topics: 137 GB limit is a serious problem, it could not be fixed by smaller partitions.
Please read Petr's 137 GB post for details.

I really hope you keep 3rd party applications as optional items that aren't installed by default, or provide a very easy to click checkbox to allow or disallow all 3rd party applications.
Some of us are purists that only want official MS bits installed on the PC. Some of us don't have a choice because we are in a work enviroment and installing 3rd party apps to replace 1st party apps is GREATLY frowned upon.
I've been trying to sell my coworkers on installing this across the company but it's been falling upon deaf ears for now. Obviously if 3rd party bits are installed by default it makes it 10x harder to convince an IT team to install this SP1.
I'm not asking you ot cater to me, I'm just asking for you to keep this SP as pure (1st party) as possible.
Rhelic,
Thank you for your comments. I'll try to make them optional.
Also I want to write again:
- SP will NOT be a collection of freeware programs.
- Only some replacements can be added to SP such as Scandisk, Format etc.
- Scandisk, Format and FDisk replacements are required for better HDD capacity support.

The old delete files > 50 MB with IE6 bug decribed here:
http://www.frankprovo.com/win98ie6filesproblem.htm
has been fixed by MS in newer versions of:
BROWSEUI.DLL = latest IE 6.0 SP1 security patch:
http://www.mdgx.com/ietoy.htm#IEC
BROWSELC.DLL = build 6.00.2900.2180 from XP SP2:
http://www.mdgx.com/xp.htm#SP2
I'm using this file for 6 months now, and had no errors.
Thanks!
Can anyone else confirm that?

You're right about EXTRACT.EXE. Probably every Windows 98 installation has it, SP will update it with the newer version.What updates were done to EXTRACT that would be needed. It's just an unpacking tool, correct? And what can you tell me about IPROP.IPROP.DLL is a part of DCOM (Distributed COM). Probably most Windows 98 installation has it, SP will update it with the newer version.
This bullet needs some clairification also:- Optional fix for IE 6.0 SP1 file deletion problem with IE 5.5 SP2 files.
Please look at this link: Win98 hangs or locks up when deleting files. I also added this link into the my new features list.
I think the main reason I ask this is based on the Order of Install:Did you look at the my Installation Guide?

Tihiy, thanks for this great work...
If you accept, I want to add it into the next version after some testing.
Original Win98 Scandisk wrapper is very small (4 KB). Why? Any idea? Also, what's the reason of Kernel32.dll-4.10.2225 dependecy? Just wonder...

Can some of these be explained? Just wondering what some of this stuff means?
I revised the list, again. Please look at it.
Can you be more specific?

Guide has improved by Petr and me.

Is there a place where I can find the "recipe" to create the SP 2.01 ?
Why don't the people read my post ?
I also wrote this link in my SP 2.0.1 post...
Guys, please read my announcement posts carefully.

BTW, I have also encountered black background of the taskbar panels (quick launch, desktop) after uninstalling SP 2.0.

I know that the uninstallation is not good.
I will completely change uninstallation process on the next version [2.1].

I needed to uninstall the Unofficial Win98SE Sp 2.0 and encountered the following problems : On one machine (desktop), the screen went completely black / garbled and I had to boot in safe mode and reinstall the service pack. On the other machine (my laptop), the uninstallation went smoothly but on bootup, the taskbar section where the Quck Launch buttons appear was blacked out.
My question is : have others noticed such graphics / display problems when uninstalling the service pack ? Any suggestions how to solve these problems ?
Why did you uninstall SP 2.0?

Thanks for the Italian version.
Note that, this is English forum. Please, try to write in English.

As I stated in the guide, it's optional. You don't require to install IE 6 or DirectX 9.ICK! Oh terrible Ick! Mozilla is a hundred times better!What about a PC without any 'net access? Is there anywhere that the contesnts of the "Security Updates" CD has been archived for download? Also, is there some place at which summaries of these next three items can be found? I've not run across mention of any of them.SP 2.0.1 contains all critical OS updates. However, it doesn't contain IE-related, Media Player-related, DirectX-related updates. (But it contains required updates for bundled IE 5.0 of 98 SE.)
So if you use IE 5.5+, you should install critical updates from WinUpdate.

Am I blind or you have not posted the zip file with ddf and sed file this time?
I have also edited the localization steps a bit.
Thanks, I added zip file.

Would like to make a version of this service pack for the Portuguese exists some tutorial one for translation?
Thank you.
Please read carefully my SE SP 2.0.1 post, it contains information about localization.

Does SP2 install MSVCP60.DLL (a Visual C++ 6 runtime library)?
If not, I suggest that SP2.1 install it. It is installing VB runtime libraries, I believe.
SP 2.0/2.0.1 installs it.

What about to add the last remaining file from vcredist, atl.dll?
Windows 98 SE: 3.00.8449
vcredist: 3.00.9782
Good idea! I'll add it.
is there any reason why not all updated files from dcom98 are in se sp? I mean:iprop.dll Win98SE: 4.0.1381.4 dcom98: 4.0.1381.6
compobj.dll Win98SE: 2.30.200.0 dcom98: 2.30.200.1
ole2.dll Win98SE: 2.30.200.0 dcom98: 2.30.200.1
storage.dll Win98SE: 2.30.200.0 dcom98: 2.30.200.1
OLE2.DLL and STORAGE.DLL are same with the 98 SE's. Only version number is changed.
But you're right about COMPOBJ.DLL. I'll add it.
I'm confused about IPROP.DLL. Its date is 1997. But the version number is newer.

let's see if Gape can respond to this thread about a Windows ME SP.
any chance of making an unofficial WinME SP in 2005 or 2006?
I want to make it, but I have not enough time...
Maybe I'll release it in 2006...

If you want, Petr and Gape, email me and I can send you the netsetup.exe file that contains the XP SP2 version of the xp-ics client for Win98/ME [YAY! WOO-HOO! WHOOPEEEE!]
Good idea!
Can you send it to me? You know my email adress.
