98 Guy Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 The following was recently posted to microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion:"So, while I wasn't looking, they apparently deleted all 9x Updates from the Windows Update Catalog (now renamed "Microsoft Update Catalog".)"Can anyone confirm?Does this mean automated updating via windows update web site no longer works for win-98?

Mijzelf Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I've just feeded a clean W98SE image to a virtual machine, installed IE6, and clicked on Windows Update. It found 23 critical updates. So I suppose everything still works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_guy Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 You can only access the old Windows Update Catalog from Windows 98 or ME. 2000, XP, and 2003 use the new Microsoft Update Catalog.the_guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lecco Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I just tried launching Windows Update. Everything works perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galahs Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Great news.Surely with how cheap data storage is these days, and the small size of Windows 9x's updates.... Microsoft could make these patches available for a long time to come!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
