I can only speak for 98SE2ME [as detailed in READ1ST.TXT under the "EXTREMELY IMPORTANT" chapter]:

http://ftp.mdgx.com/9s2m/READ1ST.TXT

98SE2ME does NOT interfere with Gape's Win98 SE Service Pack (SP) 2.0:

http://exuberant.ms11.net/98sesp.html

Gape's SP 2.0 does NOT install ANY WinME system files.

All these Win98 SE system files installed by Gape's SP 2.0 are REPLACED by

98SE2ME.BAT with IDENTICAL FILE, SAME BUILD, NEWER (if NOT specified below)

and/or PATCHED versions [this may change in future releases]:

VIP.386 [Win98 SE Q??????? 4.10.2227 hotfix] = NOT replaced IF this build

already installed

VTCP.386 [identical file = Win98 SE Q236926 hotfix] = NOT replaced IF this

build already installed

POWERCFG.CPL [WinME Setup CAB]

SYSDM.CPL [WinME Setup CAB]

TIMEDATE.CPL [WinME Setup CAB]

COMDLG32.DLL [98SE2ME.BAT option 3 ONLY = WinME Setup CAB]

GDI32.DLL [WinME Setup CAB]

MPRSERV.DLL [WinME Setup CAB]

MSAFD.DLL [WinME Setup CAB]

MSJET35.DLL [same build = WinME Setup CAB]

MSNP32.DLL [WinME Setup CAB]

MSREPL35.DLL [same build = WinME Setup CAB]

MSVCIRT.DLL [identical file = WinME Setup CAB]

MSWSOSP.DLL [WinME Setup CAB]

OLE32.DLL [same build = WinME Setup CAB]

OLECNV32.DLL [WinME Setup CAB]

OLETHK32.DLL [WinME Setup CAB]

RPCRT4.DLL [identical file = Win98 SE Q269874 hotfix] = NOT replaced IF this

build already installed

SHELL32.DLL [98SE2ME.BAT option 3 ONLY = WinME Setup CAB]

SPOOLSS.DLL [WinME Setup CAB]

USER32.DLL [WinME Q280800 hotfix] = NOT replaced IF this build already

installed

WINMM.DLL [WinME Setup CAB]

WLDAP32.DLL [identical file = WinME Setup CAB]

DLLHOST.EXE [same build = WinME Setup CAB]

EXPLORER.EXE [identical file = Win98 SE Dr. Hoiby 256 colors fix]

EXPLORER.EXE [98SE2ME.BAT option 3 ONLY = WinME Setup CAB]

EXTRAC32.EXE [WinXP SP2] = NOT replaced IF newest build already installed

GDI.EXE [WinME Setup CAB]

GRPCONV.EXE [same build = WinME Setup CAB] = NOT replaced IF this build

already installed

MSCONFIG.EXE [Tihiy fix = WinME Setup CAB]

NOTEPAD.EXE [PFE = better Notepad replacement]

REGSVR32.EXE [identical file = Win2000]

TELNET.EXE [WinME Setup CAB]

USER.EXE [WinME Q280800 hotfix] = NOT replaced IF this build already installed

NTMAPHLP.PDR [WinME Setup CAB]

1394BUS.SYS [WinME Setup CAB]

HIDCLASS.SYS [WinME Setup CAB]

LOGO.SYS [animated Blue Windows boot Logo]

KMIXER.SYS [WinME Q280127 hotfix] = NOT replaced IF this build already

installed

NTMAP.SYS [WinME Setup CAB]

OHCI1394.SYS [WinME Q252185 hotfix] = NOT replaced IF this build already

installed

OPENHCI.SYS [WinME Setup CAB]

PORTCLS.SYS [WinME Setup CAB]

SBEMUL.SYS [WinME Setup CAB]

SBP2PORT.SYS [WinME Setup CAB]

UHCD.SYS [WinME Setup CAB]

USBD.SYS [WinME Setup CAB]

USBHUB.SYS [WinME Setup CAB]

PPPMAC.VXD [WinME Setup CAB]

Therefore I STRONGLY RECOMMEND to:

1. Install Gape's SP 2.0 BEFORE running 98SE2ME.BAT.

2. Allow 98SE2ME.BAT to BACKUP your ENTIRE ORIGINAL Win98 SE OS (if you

haven't already) RIGHT AFTER selecting option 1 or option 2 to be able to

RESTORE your original OS by running C:\9!M\98RESTOR.BAT in case you

experience errors/lockups AFTER installing the WinME system files.

To learn more about SP 2.0 RC2, please ask Gape.

Hope this helps.
