soporific Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 hi there,we have had reports that the following updates appear to not work perfectly in Windows 98se:kb921503 (MS07-043) OLEAUT32.DLL (2.40.4531.0) does not work. It causes HTML script errors with library not found messages...kb936021 (MS07-042 936227) MSXML3.DLL (8.90.1101.0) does not work. It causes application errors...kb936181 (MS07-042 936227) MSXML4.DLL (4.20.9848.0) does not work. XML 4 simply does not do anything... Broken...It was RetroOS who pointed this out, cheers.The new version of MSXML 4.0 SP2 is now version 4.20.9849.0 - and i'm wondering if things are now better ... please let me know!Sop.
MDGx Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 I was using successfully [before my computer crash, now I don't have 98 SE ] MSXML3.DLL 8.70.1113.0 and MSXML4.DLL 4.20.9849.0 with my 98 SE.OLEAUT32.DLL 2.40.4519 is the newest available that works properly with Win9x to my knowledge [please see related discussion by erpdude8].All these at my site:http://www.mdgx.com/ietoy.htm#XMLhttp://www.mdgx.com/add.htm#OLEHTH
RetroOS Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 (edited) Okay, here's the dig on kb941833 MSXML4.DLL 4.20.9849.0...Same problem as previous version 4.20.9848.0.I used AnVir Task Manager Free to show open DLLs for an application.Some that opened MSXML4.DLL failed.No errors, just an empty window with maybe a toolbar...Roll back MSXML4.DLL to good version and it works...It is important to determine that an application actually uses MSXML4.DLL since some will use MSXML.DLL, MSXML2.DLL, or MSXML3.DLL only or a combination.Not good... Last good version was kb927978 version 4.20.9841.0. Edited January 21, 2008 by RetroOS

MDGx Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 I'll let you know as soon as I have my Win98 SE up and running again...
