Batch 98 - Windows 98 Unattended

[fincher]

hi folks!

i have a little problem, maybe some of you could help me out there!

i need to make an unattended installation for my windows 98 se.

a long time ago i backuped the win98-folder from my 98-cd on my harddisk, so i never needed the cd till now. as i wanted to install BATCH 98 from the tools\reskit folder it couldn't be read due to scratches on the cd.

i tried to download the prog form the microsoft site, but all i found were references to the win98-cd.

so could any of you do me a favour and send me the BATCH 98, if you have your windows 98 se cd still lying around somwhere?

thanks in advance,

hey cyberthug - you are my hero!!!

thanks so much!

btw...is that an official server of ftp-microsoft? what else can be found on this? there's quite a lot on. and how did you find this at all?

[cyberthug]

actually.. i learnt win98 could unattendedly install quite recently!!!

AFTER completing my unattended winXP cd!!!!

And boy... was it tough to look for it! i searched msn forums and all, and couldn't find it. Alot of people were told they'd have to buy it with that big fat book!

I was about to buy it actually!!! lol

but i stumbled onto this finally with the help of a friend.

Isn't it inside the Windows 98 reskit?

A copy is on archive.org, cannot say if it contains what you are looking for:

EDIT: it should be also on the "normal" 98 install CD:

Microsoft Batch 98

Batch.exe is a tool that makes it easy to create Msbatch.inf files to automate the Windows 98 Setup process. To install Microsoft Batch 98, run Setup.exe from the Windows 98 CD \tools\reskit\batch directory.
