Hi MDGX, why not to use Q835732 files? They are used in SE SP at least from 1.6.2 version with no problem - AFAIK. Plus CRYPTUI.DLL. And the package has TargetWin9xVersion=4.0.0-4.10.9999, so it is not suitable for WinME, what would you suggest here? Petr

Hi Gape, I've found that your SCR56.INF is based on 5.6.0.8515 and not on current 5.6.0.8825 package. There are added lines: HKCR, "VBSFile\Shell\Open","",,"%MENU_OPEN%" HKCR, "VBSFile\Shell\Open\Command","",0x00020002,"%25%\WScript.exe ""%1"" %*" HKCR, "VBSFile\Shell\Open2","",,"%MENU_DOSOPEN%" HKCR, "VBSFile\Shell\Open2\Command","",0x00020002,"%13%\CScript.exe ""%1"" %*" HKCR, "VBEFile\Shell\Open","",,"%MENU_OPEN%" HKCR, "VBEFile\Shell\Open\Command","",0x00020002,"%25%\WScript.exe ""%1"" %*" HKCR, "VBEFile\Shell\Open2","",,"%MENU_DOSOPEN%" HKCR, "VBEFile\Shell\Open2\Command","",0x00020002,"%13%\CScript.exe ""%1"" %*" and line HKLM,%ActiveSetupRegKey%,"Version",0,"5,6,0,8515" was changed to HKLM,%ActiveSetupRegKey%,"Version",0,"5,6,0,8825" Petr

Hello WebMatze, I have checked French version and here are differences that I've found - maybe you know about all of them, but just in the case. HSFLOP.PDR 4.10.0.2223 instead of 4.10.0.2224 (Q262232) KERNEL32.DLL 4.10.0.2224 instead of 4.10.0.2225 (Q320798) NABTSFEC.SYS 5.3.0.900 instead of 4.10.0.2223 (not present on French W98 anyway) NDIS.VXD 4.10.0.2224 instead of 4.10.0.2225 (Q270063) Q891711.DLL 4.10.0.2222 instead of 4.10.0.2223 (U891711 project) TWEAKUI.HLP is not the corrected version These files are not needed at all because French W98SE does not contain WebTV ANNCLIST.EXE ENHTRIG.DLL NABTSFEC.SYS This file should be in SUPP and not SP2.CAB because it is not present on the original CD-ROM wshfr.dll Not localized files: oconvpck JPEGIM32.FLT Q239696 IOS.VXD Q242193 NWREDIR.VXD Q244540 INSENG.DLL http://download.microsoft.com/download/ie5...244540frx86.exe Q246094 SHDOCVW.DLL was http://download.microsoft.com/download/ie5...246094frx86.exe but is no longer available.

OK, then it will be just related to some languages only. What about to start new topic called something like "Changes in the future versions" and in the first post maintain complete list of updates: - that will be added in the next minor version - that will be added in the next major version - that will be never added ? I think it will be very helpful for all of us not to repeat the same suggestions - and also not to forget anything. What do you think? Petr

Hi MDGX, I found that for re-enabling of local troubleshooter just small registry change is necessary. And it should be noted that if local troubleshooter is enabled, Windows Update will show Internet Explorer Critical Update again. Two small INF files are attached. AFAIK it is not necessary to install Tshoot.ocx again. Or is it? I just noted that in your file is version 1.0.1.2123 while in Windows 98 SE is version 1.0.1.2115 and in Windows 98 Gold is version 1.0.0.2004 (and does not use chm file). Windows Me does not use ocx it at all. Petr Ts.zip

Hi Gape, I have not tested English version but I prepared beta of Czech version and the it seems it works. Please check Windows Update with fresh Windows 98 SE install (no IE update) - on my system WU wants to install one critical update - May 27 1999 Update, it is Q231452 + Q231450 combined into one file. It will never install because the sesp contains newer file and therefore the required registry entries are never created. The following registry change is necessary not to see this update in Windows Update: [AddReg.Hotfixes] ; 231452 HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{16E349E0-702C-11CF-A3A9-00A0C9034920}","Compatibility Flags",0x10001,00,04,00,00 [sP.AddReg] ; 231450 HKLM,"%InstalledComp%\{92D6DB54-739C-11D2-A0A2-00C04F8EF9B9}",,,"q231450" HKLM,"%InstalledComp%\{92D6DB54-739C-11D2-A0A2-00C04F8EF9B9}","IsInstalled",0x10001,01,00,00,00 HKLM,"%InstalledComp%\{92D6DB54-739C-11D2-A0A2-00C04F8EF9B9}","Locale",,"%LANG%" HKLM,"%InstalledComp%\{92D6DB54-739C-11D2-A0A2-00C04F8EF9B9}","Version",,"5,0,2717,2000" HKLM,"%InstalledComp%\{92D6DB54-739C-11D2-A0A2-00C04F8EF9B9}","ComponentID",,"q231450" ; 231452 HKLM,"%InstalledComp%\{d38b0b86-0d37-11d3-8fbd-00c04f8eca4f}",,,"q231452" HKLM,"%InstalledComp%\{d38b0b86-0d37-11d3-8fbd-00c04f8eca4f}","IsInstalled",0x10001,01,00,00,00 HKLM,"%InstalledComp%\{d38b0b86-0d37-11d3-8fbd-00c04f8eca4f}","Locale",,"%LANG%" HKLM,"%InstalledComp%\{d38b0b86-0d37-11d3-8fbd-00c04f8eca4f}","Version",,"5,0,2717,2000" HKLM,"%InstalledComp%\{d38b0b86-0d37-11d3-8fbd-00c04f8eca4f}","ComponentID",,"q231452" Maybe it is different for other languages, I've seen too many differences between languages on Windows Update. What is the reason for adding COMCAT.DLL from DCOM98? It seems that Windows 98 SE contains the same version? In Czech version I have made a few minor modifications * Added Windows Update engine * Added Compobj.dll from DCOM98 * Added Update.sys * Added some registrations from vcredist, I don't know if it is necessary but I also see no problem: [RegisterOCXs.Section] %11%\Atl.dll %11%\Mfc42.dll %11%\Msvbvm50.dll %11%\Olepro32.dll %11%\Iuctl.dll [AddReg.Hotfixes] ; vcredist HKLM,"%CurrentVersion%\RunOnce","Atl.dll...",,"%11%\regsvr32 /s %11%\atl.dll" HKLM,"%CurrentVersion%\RunOnce","Comcat.dll...",,"%11%\regsvr32 /s %11%\comcat.dll" HKLM,"%CurrentVersion%\RunOnce","Mfc42.dll...",,"%11%\regsvr32 /s %11%\mfc42.dll" HKLM,"%CurrentVersion%\RunOnce","Oleaut32.dll...",,"%11%\regsvr32 /s %11%\oleaut32.dll" HKLM,"%CurrentVersion%\RunOnce","Olepro32.dll...",,"%11%\regsvr32 /s %11%\olepro32.dll" I've also added this setting: [AddReg.Hotfixes] ; 897225 - Install QFE version of IE updates HKLM,"Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer","QFEInstalled",0x10001,01,00,00,00 I've also made building of the package a bit easier - maintaining of 21sp2.ddf and 21supp.ddf files is no longer needed, see the attached batch file.

I had similar problem when I was creating fesp201 - it was caused by too long CopyFiles line in [DefaultInstall] section. But SPUPDATE.INF should be handled by advpack.dll and not by setupx.dll, or not? Petr

This should be Q250876-v2. And one question to Hhctrlui.dll - in SPUPDATE.INF is written that it comes from Q811630, but Q811630 contains version 5.2.3635.0 and sesp202en contains version 5.2.3664.0. Petr

BTW, there is also Q897255 - How to install hotfixes that are included in cumulative security updates for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1.

This hotfix (vgx.dll 6.0.2800.1265) was replaced by Q833989 update (MS04-028) with vgx.dll version 6.0.2800.1411. Petr

Q240308 is not hotfix. This update is included with Internet Explorer 5.01 and later. Why "this fix must be avoided"? What do you mean by this? What's wrong? Petr

Hi Gape, maybe one small registry only update - Q305575: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...b;en-us;Q305575 And what about my UPDATEE.SYS? :-) Petr

Yes, this is 32-bit driver for IDE controllers. Without this file it will run in 16-bit compatibility mode. Removing ESDI_506.pdr is bad idea. Maybe disabling it for >128GiB disks only. Petr

gdiplus.dll is not part of Windows 98 SE so hard to say if it should be part of the Windows 98 SE Service Pack. These 3D control libraries are contained in the SE SP already.

Internal build dates are as follows: - CTL3D32S.DLL - 2.31.000 - 07/14/1995 03:48:10 - CTL3D32.DLL - 2.31.000 - 06/09/2000 02:35:58 DLLs in Windows 98 Standard Edition - CTL3D.DLL - 2.31.000 - CTL3D32.DLL - 2.31.000 - 04/29/1998 18:04:01 - CTL3DV2.DLL - 2.31.000 DLLs in Windows 98 Second Edition - CTL3D.DLL - 2.31.000 - CTL3D32.DLL - 2.31.000 - 04/23/1999 18:37:46 - CTL3DV2.DLL - 2.31.000 DLLs in Windows 98 Second Edition - Personal Web Server - CTL3D32.DLL - 2.31.000 - 07/14/1995 03:48:10 DLLs in Windows 98 Second Edition - Resource Kit - CTL3D32.DLL - 2.31.000 - 07/14/1995 03:46:26 DLLs in Windows ME - CTL3D.DLL - 2.31.000 - CTL3D32.DLL - 2.31.000 - 06/09/2000 02:35:58 - CTL3DV2.DLL - 2.31.001 DLLs in Windows 2000 - CTL3D32.DLL - 2.31.000 - 03/08/2000 21:32:32 - CTL3DV2.DLL - 2.99.000 (03/28/1996) DLLs in Windows XP - CTL3D32.DLL - 2.31.000 - 24/10/2001 13:26:02 - CTL3DV2.DLL - 2.99.000 DLLs in Windows Server 2003 - CTL3D32.DLL - 2.31.000 - 05/15/2003 13:17:27 - CTL3DV2.DLL - 2.99.000 In summary, in the 3Dctrls.zip file are contained the following files: - CTL3D.DLL - This file is identical with file in W98/W98SE/WME. No need to install. - CTL3D32S.DLL - This file is very old, identical with CTL3D32.DLL in PWS and therefore I think it is not needed at all. - CTL3D32.DLL - This files has separate build for each Windows version, I don't know if there could be any advantage to install version taken rom other OS. - CTL3DV2.DLL - Both 2.31.000 and 2.32.001 versions are binary identical with excaept of the version number. Version 2.99 is for NT OSes only. No reason to install. Petr

Hi Gape, I have reviewed the list of available updates and it seems there are a few not implemented yet: Windows 98 Standard Edition and Windows 98 Second Edition Q258765 - Registry modification only Q269604 - Dsound.dll Windows 98 Standard Edition only Q189849 - Ipdetect.exe - This is hotfix for Windows 98 Standard Edition but it seems this file is not present in Windows 98 Standard Edition? Q214408 - Conagent.exe Q300234 - Sens.dll 5.0.3407.1600 (I'm not sure if it is OK to put 5.50.4807.2300 in Standard Edition too) I'll send them to you by e-mail. Petr

This is not correct, many files are marked as English version even in international versions of Windows 98 SE. The best way is to check your original Italian CD-ROM what is the right language version. My first check based on language information stored in the files and my experience with other languages shows that you are missing the following files. Files that are marked as "Italian" in sesp201it are not included. 237493 Timedate.cpl 239696 Ios.vxd 239887 Configmg.vxd 239887 Msconfig.exe 239887 Tshoot98.chm 241052 Mprserv.dll 242193 Nwredir.vxd 242975 Hardware.hlp 243638 Mshtml.dll 244357 Urlmon.dll 244540 Inseng.dll 246817 Vpowerd.vxd 250514 Spoolss.dll 250876 Nwpp32.dll 257360 Vpicd.vxd 257821 Msafd.dll 257821 Mswsosp.dll 258680 Deskw95.cpl 258680 Powercfg.cpl 259728 Vip.386 263044 Fdisk.exe 269601 Wdmaud.drv 270063 Ndis.vxd 272621 Sysdm.cpl 273017 Ifsmgr.vxd 273727 Nwlink.vxd 273727 Vserver.vxd 277628 Vfat.vxd 278033 Vfwwdm32.dll 285189 Pppmac.vxd 288430 Ntkern.vxd 288430 Vmm.vxd (Not translated in some international versions of the fix) 288550 Vcomm.vxd 289635 Gdi.exe 291362 User.exe 293197 Vdhcp.386 307004 Grouppol.dll 309081 Irenum.vxd 311561 Winboot.sys (Not translated in some international versions of the fix) 313829 Shell32.dll 317796 Msnet32.dll 319571 Keyb.com 320798 Kernel32.dll 323455 Msnp32.dll 323455 Vredir.vxd 832671 Html32.cnv (Office XP SP3) 835732 Crypt32.dll 835732 Cryptdlg.dll 835732 Cryptui.dll 835732 Mssip32.dll 835732 Softpub.dll 835732 Wintrust.dll 835935 Extrac32.exe (Windows XP SP2) 888113 Hlink.dll (sometimes is marked as English but the content is translated) ie401sp2 Explorer.exe I'd recommend these steps: 1. Check the above mentioned knowledgebase articles if the fix is available for download. If not, 2. Ask Microsoft for the Italian version of the hotfix. It should be no problem. 3. If there is no Italian version of the fix, you can translate the files by yourself: a) 32-bit PE files very easily by Restorator resource editor B) 16-bit NE files by Exescope resource editor for example, for sysdm.cpl special procedure has to be taken c) 16-bit LE files (.VXD, .386) by hex editor d) EXE (SYS) files by hex editor AFAIK English version always work, just some system messages will be in English. Hope this helps. Petr
