Ok, now I'm going offline for some time... I rewroted REGENV32.EXE and now it never modifies config.sys NOR deletes useful stuff in autoexec.bat, only SET= ones. Note: requires VB6 runtime. Also i modified msconfig.exe to delete bugged national page and instead System Restore it launches System File Checker. But, because 98 doesn't launch REGENV32.EXE on shutdown, you have to do it yourself (i'm exploring which file in ME doing this). Run "REGENV32 -c2" (updates c:\autoexec.bat) if you changed something on enviroment page&want it to work. updated: bugs fixed. Msconfig_updated.zip

Ah... No good news, people. I changed setup files & made 2k3 install on 98. But... it can't run. I checked file dependencies & saw some critical NT dependencies. Sorry. It's impossible.

What does that mean?!

Ok, i'll try to rewrite REGENV32.EXE.

I'll try to fix it, but i don't have english version. Could somebody provide a link to this file or hotfix? Edit: thx.

Hm. I don't know. Works for me. Watch spelling&be sure to extract layout.inf,layout1.inf&layout2.inf from cab.

thx for the link, i'll try it.

2All!!! I recommed using 2nd method because it also changes: Web View Document Promerties My Documents Thumbnail View and etc., it's official and 100% no risky. You should delete shdoc401.dll&shd401lc.dll *ONLY* if you have installed Me shell. 98 shell depends on it!!! Edit:also, to supress errors during 2nd method - extract ATL.DLL from Me to \system directory first.

2MDGx, stop! I recollected! To upgrade 98 shell to Me easier way, do the following: extract layout*.inf & ieshell.inf from precopy1.cab to Me folder. open ieshell.inf, change [Millshell_Inst] to [DefaultInstall]. Right-click it & select "Install". Select Me original files. Reboot. Enjoy! [hm: you can forget previous post except number 4) - you can delete shdoc401.dll & shd401lc.dll for sure]

2MDGx Hm, don't have 98 system now, so try this in virtual system or make backups of everything! 1) Please make sure you have at least IE 5.5 installed. 2) Now, get these files from ME: EXPLORER.EXE COMDLG32.DLL SHELL32.DLL 3) Run regsvr32 /u shdoc401.dll 3.5) Run regsvr32 /u shell32.dll 4) Exit to MS-DOS, delete shdoc401.dll & shd401lc.dll (from \system) 5) Replace explorer.exe in \windows, shell&comdlg32 in \system 6) Run windows there are 3 ways: (1): show taskbar&hangs - make "shell=command.com" in system.ini; proceed (3) (2): show nothing&crash - oops! roll back everything! my fault! (3): works great or almost no errors: run regsvr32 /i shell32.dll; reboot&let shell=explorer.exe if you've changed it. if there are errors, try to run regsvr32 /i shdocvw.dll, regsvr32 /i browseui.dll ... hope this helps to great pack.

Edit \windows\system32\config.NT and add everything you need!!!!

There are many official methods to check Windows platform id (9x or NT) and undocumented too. Office 2003 & other apps can check some undocumented functions. This tool hacks only official checking method, so... But, if "Viewer" versions of Office 2k3 programs can run on Windows 98, i think whole Office can. I'll explore this problem.

You are too naive. I hope about 5% of unsupported on 9x programs will run with this tool, and it is more than 0%. WMP10,Office2k3,Acrobat7 and other programs can't run on 98/Me not because they aren't supposed to, but because thay CAN'T.

lol!

I understand. But it's very advanced and nobody currently researching it in Win9x/Me, because win9x/me are old. You can try 98Lite to add more removable components to Windows and you can try to add post-installation commands to msbatch.inf, but if you want to create removable component you must learn hard how to edit .inf files.

Something wrong again?.. You can do unattended 9x CD: google "MSBATCH.inf" You can edit billboards: extract win95.ini from precopy2.cab and edit it, but it will be shown during install, *not* in WPI, there is no WPI in w9x.

Yes, but ResPatchers are free for non-commercial use.

Why not to make a ResPatcher in Restorator?

make link to "::clsid". For example "::{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}" - open recycle bin

1) Create(or edit) logo.sys in the root directory which exactly is BMP file 320x400x256 colors. 2) Edit .infs (advanced) + you can add 1stboot.bmp to setup directory as setup background.

2VDDZ Wasn't able to reproduce your bug. Works well on IE6/6SP1/6SP1+allupdates. May be you can post somewhere your version of BROWSEUI.DLL or link to hotfix where i am able to get it? Also: did you get screwed up standard gray buttons, or new XP-styled?

http://simplestas.nm.ru/w98hack This tool hacks win98se registry/system files to make any app checking windows version install & run. Must work on any language. To check if tool worked propertly, run dxdiag.exe (DirectX7 and above) and check "Operating system:" line. Updated: works with Unofficial SP2.

2VDDZ What Windows/IE version are used? (+hotfixes applied)

Why Read only?

There are some more advantages besides color scheme.
