Thanks erpdude8, but why don't you want to talk about these fixes and the issues they address? This evasiveness makes your own service pack sound shady...

I believe he's using Infex [free tool created by Gape for 98SE SP2], which is just an installer menu with choices, the actual compiling is done by MS IExpress 6.0 SP1:
