You need Internet Explorer 6 while updating components. Tons of programs won't install without it.

Please add "SE" to the topic title. Without it, first edition is implied.

Try sticking to the English version of 98SE and setting the locale to Czech because a lot of (un)official patches are only available for the English version.

I no longer recommend big unofficial Service Packs for 98SE, install only whatever given program/game requires. (like IE6 SP1, DX9.0c, WMP9, VC++ 2005 redist, InstMsiA, etc...)

Make sure you are using the SHELL32.DLL fix after IE6 SP1 is installed:

You can also use Windows Update Restored v4 to have as close as the original experience back in the day of updating 98SE:
