Lancelot_Real Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 @jaclazOr you can experiment with these:http://www.frontiernet.net/~fys/mtools.htmthe newish thingies by Alex Frounze seem "like it", but haven't tested 'em yet.can you point me, where can I find this collection ?there is an alternative to EXTRACT.EXE with name IMGCPY which may help BeatZero not writing scripts again.@BeatZeroI agree with the approach not using vdk, imdisk etc. for your project. bfi is very nice and easy to use floppy image creator with files, and further things seem to be on the route to solution.I hardly find my olllllld win98se source cd (well, since I do not have any cd/dvd reader, it was a journey to a friend with an ufd and a dvd ). I get unsuccessfull (I get startup screen of win98 with vmware v7 ....), so far I read there will be a next release coming soon and I decide better to wait. And a tiny request, can we have none-mandatory scripts that need download default unselected. Thanks again, it is a very nice project, one of a kind.

PROBLEMCHYLD Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 yeah im already onto it, i just installed internet explorer 6 sp1 on windows 98 original, then i copied msoe50.inf and msoe.pnf from the windows\inf directory, then i uninstalled internet explorer 6.0 , rebooted, then i right clicked on msoe50.inf and clicked "install", the installer couldnt find 9xmig.dll so i went to the ie6 install directory but it still couldnt find 9xmig.dll so i used 7zip to extract ALL of the cab files into one directory, then i tried to find 9xmig.dll file , it found the file but it gave a error message " cannot copy 9xmig.dll" ??? thats as far as i got.I have got the same results you got. Hope this can be fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sfor Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 (edited) I have encountered a problem with building the image after changing the Basic - Windows 98 Live CD Base settings. When Set Default Language or Set Default resolution settings were changed the script ends with a message:ExtractFile - Failed to expand file: [shell95.bat] to: [%BaseDir%\Temp\Win98LiveCD\APP_TMP\Win95Shell\]It happens also, after returning the settings to the previous values. The only solution is download the script, again. (The problem happens on Windows 98 PL with KernelEX.)Also, I'm quite interested in adding a VNC server application to the build.-------------------------------Looks like the 01-WIN98_BASE.script file gets decreased to just 64Kb, after altering the script settings. Since it should be about 8MB in size, the difference is quite significant. Edited April 20, 2010 by Sfor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sfor Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I was able to compile a version with UltraVNC server. It looks like quite an useful tool for remote rapairs, but the english language version does not handle polish national characters in file names. So, for the moment, it's next to useless to me.Have anyone been able to compile a version with different than english language setting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kolkol Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 It’s a really cool project. Almost incredible!I was looking for it for a long time!!Now about my question.OS started without any problems.But can author or anybody tell me how can I make it to play audio and video?? And is it possible at all?During OS is running, sound driver setup is normal. A new device (AC97) is appeared. But when wav file, for example, opening – error: no audio devices / no MCI devices, no audio mixers, ets.So there is no “Multimedia”, “Sound” in Control Panel. Adding mmsys.cpl to Win\System don’t helpMy next “plan” is to add required system files: mmsystem.dll, sysaudio… (I’ll be happy to know whole list) and to add special keys to system reestr (the same)Video, I suppose, needs DirectX. So, serious problems expected too.I’m keeping silent about codecs.Despite, for me it seems really (but very hard).So I’m asking all members, especially BeatZero, for some useful information.What are you think about all this?Can you prompt me better / easily way to add audio/video to this project?Maybe non standard kernel makes it impossible at all?Can anybody explain?Thanks for answers.

betaluva2010 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 hi, i serously doubt that you would get sound video working correctly? can i suggest you try bartPE or a custom winPE instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest EstevanTH Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 (edited) Hello, I am the French creator of the French Live-CDs of Windows 95.<link removed>For BeatZero:When Windows ask me for restarting the system, it does not restart Windows, it reboots!If I have understood your RunOnce.exe patch for your Windows 98 Live-CD, you replaced the reboot command by the restart Windows command with an hexadecimal editor or a resource editor. Do not I make any mistake? Can I do the same with all versions of Windows 95?Thank you! Edited June 20, 2010 by dencorso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Hello, I am the French creator of the French Live-CDs of Windows 95.<link removed>Nice project but if I understand it correctly you are (through your Forum) re-distributing a pre-made .iso, which is a no-no .This "Windows 98 Live Cd Project", like a few others, which include the http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=12326and Winimize:http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showforum=53aim on the contrary to let people build their own Win9x starting from the files they already have.Why don't you make available INSTEAD of the prebuilt .iso the methods, manual or automated, that you used to build the .iso?jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
