MtK Posted September 17, 2004 Author Share Posted September 17, 2004 For IE I've try downloading with a PC running XP, & I could run the installer (actually the downloader)For DX, It's 9.0b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 yes, the downloader offers to save all the CABs for the windows versions you choose. Then take the same to a win98se machine and installing will run fine.About dX, the link was wrong, thanks for pointing it out - fixed it to link to 9.0c properly now.

MtK Posted September 17, 2004 Author Share Posted September 17, 2004 When trying to download the IE (on the XP machine) it sais I already have a higher version of IE, & it won't start at all...10 about the DX9cAbout the Service Pack 1.61, I tried using "/Q:A /R:N" it shows some process in the middle, & asks for reboot... what sould I use instead?

prathapml Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 About the Service Pack 1.61So does it work then? I mean, does it do its planned tasks and then ask for re-boot at the right time (at the end, after completion)?If that is so, then maybe one of the re-boot stoppers will work, I have no idea of which one will work.The first one to try is the "/Z" switch. You can use it this way - "/Q:A /R:N /Z".If that doesn't work, put "/norestart" in the place of "/Z" and try again.If that doesn't work too, do it with "/noreboot" and try. Or, maybe "REBOOT=Suppress". Don't give up. Its all trial-and-error methods which tell us things. Do post back on the one you found to be correct.About the IE download, yes that is to be expected on IE6SP2. Well, no way around it, except to download it from a Win98 machine itself.

Donovan Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 I noticed that unless Netmeeting is installed, the installer will stop in the middle...Been following this thread, I'm working on this myself...Hope it helps B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtK Posted September 18, 2004 Author Share Posted September 18, 2004 @dennxyzI forgot to ask.You said:WU shows no critical updates neededWhen & How did you check the WU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtK Posted September 18, 2004 Author Share Posted September 18, 2004 @prathapmlI've tried all your switches and non of them even started the installation...I also got an error (look at this post): Win98SE Service Pack 1.61 Error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 LOL, that's why I said "there might be a remote possibility of using that switches" and that's why I was surprised that it worked (some posts ago).Well, I've not been around win9x much since YEARS! Maybe you could e-mail the author of that unofficial SP?I hope you find your solution (and then post it here! ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennxyz Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 Hi MTKUsed the Q:U /R:N on sesp161 update and got the "reboot" message. The update installs but after rebooting I can no longer access the internet. The error I get is a missing or corrupt wshext.dll file. I am going to stay with the ses1.5 unofficial update for now.I do not call the updates from the Windows 98 CD. I have made a separate CD that contains unattended updates for 98SE, W2k, and XP.The CD autoruns and checks the OS version and then calls the appropriatebatch file. The batch copies all required files and folders to the systemdrivefollowing the same layout as the unattended tutorials on this site. The first batch is called from CD and then at the reboot, I remove the CD and the remainder of the updates install from the hard drive. All updates go in unattended.I accesssed Windows Update tonight (I am in Canada)after doing a clean install of 98SE to checkfor required updates after installing Direct X9C and IE6 SP1. FYI they are:List of Critical UpdatesCumulative Security Update for Outlook Express 6 Service Pack 1 (KB837009)Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (KB867801)Security Update for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (KB833989)Critical Update for ADODB.stream (KB870669)Security Update for Windows 98 (KB840315)823559: Security Update for Microsoft Windows816093: Security Update Microsoft Virtual Machine (Microsoft VM)814078: Security Update (Microsoft Jscript version 5.6Q329414: Security Update (MDAC 2.1)Q329115: Security Update (Windows 98)Windows Share Level Password UpdateQ323172: Security Update (Windows 98)Q323255: Security Update (Windows 98)Security Update, May 19, 2000 "IP Fragment Reassembly"Security Update, November 12, 1999"File Access URL" vulnerability in Windows 98Security Update, March 7, 2002"Unchecked Buffer in Windows Shell Could Lead to Code Execution" Security Update, March 17, 2000"DOS Device in Path Name" security vulnerability Security Update 1, November 29, 1999 "Spoofed Route Pointer" and "Fragmented IGMP Packet" 811630: Critical Update (Windows 98)OTHER UpdatesWindows IDE Hard Drive Cache PackageRoot Certificates UpdateMapped Drives Shutdown UpdateThe required updates after installing Direct X9C, IE6SP1 and the sesp1.5 unofficial update are as I said in a previous post to this thread.

dennxyz Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Hi MTKThe first batch file is in the root of the CD, appropriately enough called "FindOS.bat"It's contents are:**************************************FindOS.batcls@echo offver |FIND "Windows 2000" > nulif not errorlevel=1 goto 2000ver |FIND "Windows 98" > nulif not errorlevel=1 goto 98ver |FIND "Windows XP" > nulif not errorlevel=1 goto XPecho Your operating system is not supported.goto eofECHO.ECHO.cls:98ECHO Install Updates for Windows 98 Second Edition ONLYECHO Press "Ctrl-C" to exit InstallationpauseECHO.CALL \98\98.batEXITCLScls:2000ECHO Install Updates for Windows 2000 Service Pack 4ECHO Press "Ctrl-C" to exit InstallationpauseECHO.Start \2k\2K.CMDEXITCLScls:XPECHO Install Updates for Windows XP Service Pack 2ECHO Press "Ctrl-C" to exit InstallationpauseECHO.Start \XP\XP.CMDEXITCLS:eofexitcls********************************************************Pressing any key calls the second batch "98.bat", which copies the Install folder andcontents to the root of the system drive.
