@ jaclaz
Oh, man, if you've got such mean jokes in English, I'd be terrified to learn your Italian ones.
P.S.:
English is my 2nd language too, but I g0t n0ne 0'them j0kes. {LoL}
P.S. #2:
I just noticed you're here for 6 (s-i-x) full years (well, 2 days ago), so please accept my happy MSFN B-day congratulations, + keep up the good work!

You've actually made my point...
A user-created shortcut in XP is practically identical to a shortcut created in win-98 (biggest difference is ANSI vs Unicode in specifying the target). Win-98 understands how to execute shortcut files created by XP (perhaps only shortcuts with simple paths, and perhaps only if unicode support has been installed). Perhaps there are enhanced or advanced features of "XP-style" lnk files that a win-98 system would fall-over if exposed to, but I wonder how common or useful those features really are.Windows 9x [95, 98 + ME] OSes cannot be vulnerable to this kind of code "injection":1. All newer lnk files [from WinXP on] have different code than all older Win9x OSes (...)
User created shortcuts are pretty much similar, *except* (and that's the keyword here) for the Unicode (mostly for special symbols, special chars for languages other than English and for registry complex strings/multi-strings values) and standard (backslash divider) UNC path part { http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_%28computing%29#Uniform_Naming_Convention } which are not understood by 9x OSes without additional 3rd party programs installed (and then, only partial support is provided, and only for specific apps).
And to my knowledge, 9x OSes do not have MUI (Multilingual User Interface) Unicode packs, like XP/2003/Vista/2008/7 do.
Example: open the "Run..." box in Win95/88/ME and type something using extended characters, you'll get an error message:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=192109
Same, the "Run..." box in 9x/ME does not understand %windir% or similar environment variables: you'll get an error message.
Also, share names longer than 12 chars are not understood by 9x OSes:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/160843
List of unicode specific REG values (NTx OSes only):
REG_EXPAND_SZ
REG_LINK
REG_MULTI_SZ
REG_RESOURCE_LIST
REG_FULL_RESOURCE_DESCRIPTOR
REG_RESOURCE_REQUIREMENTS_LIST
More details here:
http://www.mdgx.com/reg.htm#RTS
Another example: the rundll + rundll32 commands have different behaviour on 9x and NTx OSes:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/164787
Also, when creating (default in XP/2003) shortcuts to "registered" apps that reside in the %systemroot% / %windir% / %programfiles% / %userprofile% / etc paths, the environment strings (opposite to hard-linked actual drive letters + directories) are added, something that 9x OSes do not understand either.
And besides, 9x OSes do not understand %systemroot%, %programfiles% or %userprofile% environment variables, those have been introduced beginning with NT4/2000, but not in 98/ME, unless you install a 3rd party networking app to "translate" such variables for 9x OSes (and that with limited availability):
http://www.wilsonmar.com/1envvars.htm
Another "glitch": "set <variable>" commands can't be added in 95/98 OSes while running, one must add them to autoexec.bat or config.sys, and then reboot. WinME has a way of doing this (regenv32.exe + msconfig.exe) while the GUI is running [and writes them into the registry, similar to NTx Windows], but a reboot is still needed for such changes to take effect.
http://www.chem.gla.ac.uk/~louis/software/faq/q1.html
In comparison, WinNTx accepts SET <VARIABLE> commands "on-the-fly" (written into the registry), no reboot needed, in some cases a logoff and a log back in is required.
Without 3rd party software installed there is no way to add captured variables into the environment in Win9x, which run MS-DOS 7 [Win95/98] or 8 [WinME]:
http://www.pement.org/sed/bat_env.htm
My point exactly...
The fact that some implimentations of this exploit might try to plant a rootkit on a system doesn't mean that a rootkit is part of the exploit. Any system that already has a rootkit installed and functioning on it doesn't need to be exposed to this exploit in order to gain control of the system. I don't know why or how some people are linking vulnerability to this exploit with vulnerability to rootkits. The two are totally different things.2. In case the back-door "infection" mechanism is via rootkit delivery, that's a no-no, 9x OSes cannot be affected. ;_)Some rogue code is delivered + loaded via disguised rootkit TSRs, some is not.
That's why I started the phrase with "In case (...)".
Of course, the underlying code has nothing to do with the delivery system. ;_)
There are numerous methods one can use to write to the registry remotely. These come to mind on a short notice (most of these APIs/functions are already built into Windows):
And just how would someone implement those registry settings on a win-98 system in order to then exploit the system?Also, please notice that all MS Windows OSes [starting with Win95] have another vulnerability: the list of file extensions that can be added as executables is a plain REG_SZ value [registry ANSI string], and any1 can add more extensions to it at will.If I could remotely modify the registry on a win-98 system according to your example, then presumably I'd have enough control of the system to do other things (like install botnet software) and I wouldn't bother making those registry changes.
- REG: NTx OSes all come with the built-in external DOS console command called reg.exe, which can do practically anything to the registry, just create a few batch [bAT or CMD] files.
9x OSes do not have such handy tool; regedit.exe works, but it is more primitive and limited to merging REG files, which can only add, modify or delete values or subkeys, never hive keys, and Win9x does not understand or misinterprets complex/multi-strings/unicode values:
http://www.mdgx.com/reg.htm#ODD
And CMD does not work as executable in 9x OSes, unless one adds ".CMD;" to the "PATHEXT" environment (registry value), and even then, there are inherent limitations, because 9x OSes were never designed to run CMD batches. - HTA (HyperText Applications):
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms536496.aspx
which works only if Internet Explorer core is installed, and that applies to all WinOSes, except Win95 retail:
http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-5194791.html
Microsoft actually provides a free tool just for this purpose:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/scriptcenter/dd939960.aspx
Tweakomatic uses VBS scripting and WMI delivery in HTA format. - VBS (Visual Basic Scripting):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VBScript
How to read from + write to the registry remotely:

http://www.bigresource.com/VB-write-registry-key-to-remote-computer-wCJMvLOYru.html
VBasic, VC++, VSCript, VJscript are built into all Windows editions beginning with Win95 retail (more or less, very primitive in 95 + NT4).
Microsoft has extensive material on how to use VBS:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sx7b3k7y.aspx - Plain old Javascript combined with VBScript.
- Debuggers (usually part of free developer kits: SDKs, DDKs etc):
http://kipirvine.com/asm/4th/debug/windbg/index.htm - PERL scripting:
http://docs.activestate.com/activeperl/5.10/faq/Windows/ActivePerl-Winfaq4.html - Java programming language uses (for example) CLASSPATH as environment variable to find any program in any path registered by the OS:

Windows 9x [95, 98 + ME] OSes cannot be vulnerable to this kind of code "injection":
1. All newer lnk files [from WinXP on] have different code than all older Win9x OSes, because new features have been introduced back in 2001 [beginning with XP Gold RTM]: native Unicode support, complex/long text strings [i.e. long local or UNC paths / combined with long filenames] can be used as local/URL shortcuts.
2. SHELL32.DLL APIs code [specific only to NTx OSes] was "revamped" accordingly to accommodate new lnk features.
3. In case the back-door "infection" mechanism is via rootkit delivery, that's a no-no, 9x OSes cannot be affected.
... And actually the only way [i know of] to run something like this on 9x OSes is thru a modded PIF file [MS-DOS ANSI link = simple shortcut to an executable], with a properly attached BAT file [CMD files don't work on 9x OSes either].
Also, please notice that all MS Windows OSes [starting with Win95] have another vulnerability: the list of file extensions that can be added as executables is a plain REG_SZ value [registry ANSI string], and any1 can add more extensions to it at will.
Example:
- Win9x version:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment]
"PATHEXT"=".COM;.EXE;.BAT;.SCR;.PIF;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;"Theoretically [i have not tested this] this would allow CMD files [for example] to be run as executables on 9x OSes.
- WinNTx version [current user + global]:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Environment]
"PATHEXT"=".COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment]
"PATHEXT"=".COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH"Also [beginning with Win2000 SP2 I believe], there is another way to run "protected" files by extension, by modifying the GPO [Group Policy Editor] value in the registry from "medium-risk" [XP/2003 default] to "low-risk" [custom], thus disabling the security warning. This works only on NTx OSes.
Example:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Associations]
"LowRiskFileTypes"=".js;.zip;.rar;.nfo;.txt;.ini;.inf;.exe;.bat;.com;.cmd;.reg;.msi;.msu;.msc;.hta;.htc;.htm;.html;.gif;.bmp;.jpg;.jpeg;.avi;.mpg;.mpeg;.mov;.mp3;.m3u;.mkv;.wav;.7z;.cab;.php;.pif;.png;.hlp;.cnt;.chm;.vbs;.vb;.sc;.scr;.rtf;.wri;.doc;.cdf;.url;.lnk;.pif;"On a related note, there is a way to run remote executables, just add this to the environment in the registry:
SEE_MASK_NOZONECHECKS=1
either under HKLM or HKCU or HKU\.Default .
More info @ MSKB.
And how to disable the warning for running remote apps:
Open Control Panel.
Open Internet Options.
Click the Security Tab.
Click on Local Intranet.
Click on Sites.
Click Advanced.
Type respective drive letter of server address where your apps are located in the "Add this website to this zone" box.
Click Add.
Click Close.
Click OK/Apply.
Ok, I'm gonna stop this rambling now.

Try the 3 versions of USBSTOR.SYS attached here [they're all from XP]:Usbstor.sys 5.00.2195.6773 does not work correctly with my USB flash drive. I have to re-install NUSB just to get it working.
NUSB overrides this with an older version of 4.90.3000.1.
Can you fix this issue. Thank you very much.
P.S
It also crazy how I replace older files with the newer XP files and get no BSOD etc...
Usbehci.sys 5.1.2600.1106 (xpsp1.020828-1920)
Usbport.sys 5.1.2600.1106 (xpsp1.020828-1920)
USBSTOR.SY2 5.1.2600.2180 [XP SP2 final]
USBSTOR.SY3 5.1.2600.3205 [XP SP3 beta build 3205]
USBSTOR.SYS 5.1.2600.5512 [XP SP3 final]
Just rename the one you wish to USBSTOR.SYS (from *.SY2 or *.SY3) and copy it to %windir%\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS [you should backup the one you're using now and which works properly].
Hopefully one will work for you.
If one does, pls e-mail me, so I know which one, to update USB20DRV.EXE accordingly.
Thanks.

This may have to do with their server-side scripts.No it's only this aspx page. Here is the link: https://deklaravimas.vmi.lt/InternetAuth.aspx.If I click this link like that it opens in a matter of milliseconds just like any other aspx page.
But of course it won't show me anything of value, just an message from the website itself that it hasn't enough informations to proceed (of course).
But when the browser tries to sent form datas to this aspx page via "submit" button (see code sample below), IE fails to do anything at all and nothing appears.
<form action="https://deklaravimas.vmi.lt/InternetAuth.aspx" method="post" name="packetForm">
<input name="TYPE" type="hidden" value="BANK">
<input name="PERSON_FNAME" type="hidden" value="FREDERIC">
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>I don't think it has anything to do with the aspx file extension, like Tripredacus said.
They may have blocked IE 6.xx/older from accessing their secure [https protocol] server as a security measure. [?]
Have you tried to access those web pages using Firefox or Opera?
It may work, if their server-side scripts allow those browsers.
HTH
BTW...
aspx is used on servers running usually MS Windows 200x Server + IIS 5/6 + Active Directory.
asp = http [default (insecure) hypertext protocol]
aspx = https [secure hypertext protocol]

Must be KernelEx that adds necessary NTx API functions for the newer DX installers to work properly.
But even if those installers work ok [with help from KernelEx], that doesn't mean that DX libraries [DLLs] actually install, because 9x [98/98SE/ME] DLLs have been removed by M$.
"Virgin" [without any "tweaks" installed] 98/98SE/ME OSes stop with an error [OS not supported] message and do not proceed with installation. This is the default behaviour built into the installer by M$ to detect 9x OSes and abort.
FYI, all DX installers newer than Dec 2006 do not add anything to 9x [98/98SE/ME] OSes.
All DX installers past Dec 2006 removed support for all 9x [98/98SE/ME] OSes.
More info here:
http://www.mdgx.com/dx.htm#DX9
And even if one gets some newer DLLs [the MDX ones newer than D3DX9_32.DLL] extracted and copied manually into %windir%\SYSTEM , those will not work with 9x OSes, because they are designed specifically for NTx OSes [2000/XP/2003/Vista/newer], and I don't believe KernelEx has those functions implemented [pls correct me if I'm wrong] to make them work.
But there's hope, maybe there are ways KernelEx can implement those APIs in the future.

Unofficial updates are still being updated with up-to-date files. [used "update" toooo many timesI would like to know if the Win98 (se for me) unofficial updates, is an
ongoing project or is it falling by the wayside? If the updates will continue,
where is the download site now?
I would also like to see some explanation of what the files are for. Last:
I'm still on a very slow rural dial up, but will probably be able to afford
wireless broadband this summer. Will there (or are there) be any connectivity
files available for that ? It appears that wireless broadband requires Win 2000
or better. Must be a way to squeek around that one ..... whoever you are, I know

SCR579X: Reverted back to older (better) Jscript.dll.I have confirmed that the latest version 5.7.6002.22145 of Jscript.dll from KB975542 installed by the recently updated SCR579X Unofficial MSE 5.7 update causes the Windows Media Player 9 error "An internal application error has occurred." that I reported. Reverting back to the previous version of Jscript.dll (5.7.0.16535) or reinstalling JScript 5.6 (version 5.6.0.8837) via SCR569X fixes the error.
I also tried this command to reregister Jscript.dll (as suggested by several technical websites):
regsvr32 c:\windows\system\jscript.dll
but got the following error:
LoadLibrary("c:\windows\system\jscript.dll") failed.
GetLastError returns 0x0000001f
I was able to reregister the previous version 5.7.0.16535 of Jscript.dll by the way.
Since version 5.7.6002.22145 of Jscript.dll implements a critical security update, I will probably revert back to version 5.6.0.8837 which also implements the update.

I guess I will have to revert back to older 5.7.0.16535 build@MDGx:

WMP 9 now gives the following error message: "An internal application error has occurred."
Interestingly, WMP 9 worked fine with version 5.7.0.16535 of Jscript.dll after installing your previous version of SCR579X. I finally had to install JScript 5.6 via SCR569X to get WMP 9 to work again but I'm now getting some strange rectangular gray blocks in the video display for some reason.
On a related note, could you please update MP9URP9X to incorporate the revised wmp.dll and MPEG Layer-3 codecs from the recent KB979402 and KB977816 updates, respectively? Thanks!

erpdude8 sent me those updates, and I've also seen them posted here in these forums.
I'll tell erpdude8 to update MP9URP9X with latest updates.
Thanks a lot for your hard work.
Best,

I have some stuff on IExpress at my site, if any1 wants to try:

INF tools + guides:

CAB SDK:

IEAK main components:
iexpress.exe is the main executable (compiler), and needs also [not necessarily the same versions/builds of] makecab.exe, wextract.exe and also W95INF16.DLL + W95INF32.DLL [especially if using advpack.dll wrapper/installer database DLL, usually present in all Win32 OSes in %windir%\system(32)]. Advpack.dll is also included with IEAK developer kit.
IEAK is a developer kit designed by Microsoft and freely distributed on their website [from way back, I believe MS IE 3.0 had the 1st edition they ever made] to create self-installing setup executables based on the INF(ormation) file model, and using Diamond SED source files.
FYI:
All my Microsoft-based + unofficial updates/installers are created using Iexpress.
All these updates/packs/enhancements are also compiled using iexpress: ME SP1+SP2, WMP9 updates, 98MP10, MDIE6CU, MDDACU, NUSB, and many others found at MSFN forums.
98SE SP2 2.x + 3.x (all editions) use a custom installer (infex) created by Gape:

To compile the installer for 98SE2ME I use Inno Setup (freeware installer tool):
