98 FE + 98 SE + ME updates + patches + (hot)fixes

[erpdude8]

BTW - note to jimmsta (who just PMed me about why I responded to several old topics), I like to bring up those several older topics because I have some unfinished business with them. I may even have some new info to bring to those old topics.

It looks like you have hijacked not a thread but the entire the forum. I have never seen a thing such as this before.

I'd vote for the Windows 2000 version, does anybody know how to test the functionality?

Hlink.dll 5.2.3790.2748 22-Jul-2006 03:38 72,704 Windows2000 SP4

Will this work in Windows 9x environment?

Is anything from new Internet Explorer and Outlook Express updates usable in Windows 9x?

Ah, ok- I thought so. It's just not every day that you see that many topics replied to, from a while back, all at around the same time, thus making the 'Last post' column a blur with a single user name.

Whoooa! Youre right about 30 topics had new replies.

Please try GRPHFLTS.EXE again on Win95, see if it works now.

It works correctly on my 98SE + 98 FE.

Thanks.

I'll look into the August MS security bulletins, maybe I can make a 98/ME patch [or two].

Thanks everybody.

@MDGx: If you do make an update for 98/ME/NT4 for 922616, there are some required registry ventries to include as well. If you want me to, I can make the updates for you, provided they do work without problem. Also, I have no idea what's wrong with the 910906 update.

@all: Has anyone seen an issue with either file (hlink.dll or hhctrl.ocx?). Also, I have made an unofficial 918899 update for 98/ME. All I did was copy the files over and copy the registry entries from 1 INF to the other (2000 to 98/me). It looks like it should work. Bonus: It will also work on NT4!

be sure to include NIRCMD.EXE in the unofficial 918899 IE patch for IE6 SP1 because when installing this under WinME, the SFP feature needs to be shut down by NIRCMD or the updated files will be rejected by SFP.

Better to included updated hhctrl.ocx file (from 922616) in unofficial HHUPD.EXE pack for Win98/ME/NT4 instead of creating separate patches.

@all: Has anyone seen an issue with either file (hlink.dll or hhctrl.ocx?).

none so far. though I would not use updated hlink.dll file from either 888113 or 920670 under win95 and will cause IE not to work properly under Win95. Use KB888113's or KB920670's Hlink.dll file only under Win98, ME, NT4 or greater.

* Microsoft Windows 98 Winsock 2.0 Error RNR20.DLL 4.10.2002 Fix:

Remove Win98 Winsock 2.0 Error RNR20.DLL v4.10.2002 hotfix OFF your site. Q192425 RNR20.DLL patch for Win98 has version 4.10.2003 of RNR20.DLL file.

and where's version 4.10.2004 of GDI.EXE & GDI32.DLL files for Win98? Has the author of unofficial 918547 patched those GDI files for Win98 FE yet?

corrections to some Win95 updates: Q259110 has mprserv.dll v4.00.964 instead of 4.00.962. Q237493 has timedate.cpl 4.00.955 instead of 4.00.952. Q245213 for Win95 does NOT resolve 64Gb HD Fdisk problem; only resolves "Non-MS-DOS Partition 8 GB+" problem. When partitioning 64+ HDs with FDisk, use Win98 Q263044 FDisk or WinME FDisk to do that.

About the HLINK.DLL files from 920670: The hlink.dll files from the Win2000, XP & 2003 KB920670 patches have same byte sizes and same version numbers but they are NOT binarily identical. Compare the Win2000 version of KB920670 hlink.dll file with the WinXP version of KB920670 hlink.dll file using the WinDiff file comparison tool. Both are different in actual code.

I used the Win2000 version of HLINK.DLL from KB920670 under my WinME computer and so far, no problems.

I also did it like that.

Copy files from:

C:\TEMP\IXP000.TMP\RTMQFE

@MDGx

Don't know why this error comes upd,didn't happen on mine.

Maybe it happens because you use an other directory then standard C:\Windows\Temp

anyway you can simply extract the contents with e.g. winrar and then install using Q918899_d_RTMQFE.inf

@all If someone want's to make an unofficial ms06-041 update it would be good to use the ms06-040 netapi32.dll file

since it has an higher file version than the ms06-041 netapi32.dll.

Yeah, I did that.

Thanks for the tip.

I just copied the files from C:\TEMP [while the installer was paused] somewhere else, and then ran the INF.

But if other people also have %TEMP% variable set somewhere else than %windir%\TEMP , the installer won't work.

You need to account for all situations, no matter where the %TEMP% location is set.

Are you adding the temp directory to the SED config file?

If you are, you need to remove it.

If not specified inside the SED, the temp dir is found automatically by the iexpress installer, it just searches the memory to find the SET variable location.

In my case [example]:

SET TEMP=C:\TEMP

SET TMP=C:\TEMP

SET PKTMP=C:\TEMP [this sets the TEMP variable for PKZIP/PKUNZIP]

These lines are in my autoexec.bat.

I found some newer ODBC drivers insite KB911562. (MDAC 2.5 SP3 update for Windows 2000). Is it okay to use these newer ODBC drivers on Windows 98?

Version 4.0.6306.0 against 4.0.6205.0. Note the MDAC 2.5 SP3 ODBC drivers where removed from MDAC since MDAC 2.6. Now they are included in JET 4.0 SP8.

lucky me I did not obtain the unofficial Q918899 patch for IE6 SP1. It needs to have ieuninst.exe, ieupdate.exe, mspatcha.dll files and that "SFX Manifest" file inside. And it also needs to have two INF files on there just like with KB916281 for IE6 SP1 under Win98/ME. Look at the KB916281 patch for Win98/ME and see how it works.

I'll send another WEBVW.DLL file to MDGx for ME900725 which now has the missing WinME GIF and WinME HTML wallpaper "resources". I added the resources from original ME webvw.dll file using Resource Hacker.
