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

[MDGx]

@MDGx:

I'm still in the process of diagnosing the problem but it strongly appears that the latest version 5.7.6002.22145 of Jscript.dll from KB975542 causes an error in Windows Media Player 9 (after installing your revised SCR579X update). WMP 9 now gives the following error message: "An internal application error has occurred."

Interestingly, WMP 9 worked fine with version 5.7.0.16535 of Jscript.dll after installing your previous version of SCR579X. I finally had to install JScript 5.6 via SCR569X to get WMP 9 to work again but I'm now getting some strange rectangular gray blocks in the video display for some reason.

On a related note, could you please update MP9URP9X to incorporate the revised wmp.dll and MPEG Layer-3 codecs from the recent KB979402 and KB977816 updates, respectively? Thanks!

I guess I will have to revert back to older 5.7.0.16535 build : I'll post them here when done:

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=46581

erpdude8 sent me those updates, and I've also seen them posted here in these forums.

I'll tell erpdude8 to update MP9URP9X with latest updates.

Thanks a lot for your hard work.

Best,

MDGx

Thanks MDGx. Like I said, I have not completely verified that the latest version 5.7.6002.22145 of Jscript.dll causes the WMP 9 errors but I strongly suspect it. I'll report back as soon as I get some definitive results.

I believe I have successfully updated wmp.dll to version 9.0.0.4508 from KB979402 by manually extracting it from the WinXP SP3 update file, replacing the existing version 9.0.0.4507 (from MP9URP9X), then running the following command to fix the WMP 9 error message saying it expected to find version 9.0.0.4507 of wmp.dll:

C:\Windows\Inf\unregmp2.exe /UpdateWMP

Similarly, I have also manually updated the MPEG Layer-3 codecs l3codeca.acm and l3codecx.ax from KB977816 (reference this MSFN thread) but I'm not quite sure how to test them yet.

Thank you once again for all your hard work and support!

I have confirmed that the latest version 5.7.6002.22145 of Jscript.dll from KB975542 installed by the recently updated SCR579X Unofficial MSE 5.7 update causes the Windows Media Player 9 error "An internal application error has occurred." that I reported. Reverting back to the previous version of Jscript.dll (5.7.0.16535) or reinstalling JScript 5.6 (version 5.6.0.8837) via SCR569X fixes the error.

I also tried this command to reregister Jscript.dll (as suggested by several technical websites):

regsvr32 c:\windows\system\jscript.dll

but got the following error:

LoadLibrary("c:\windows\system\jscript.dll") failed.

GetLastError returns 0x0000001f

I was able to reregister the previous version 5.7.0.16535 of Jscript.dll by the way.

Since version 5.7.6002.22145 of Jscript.dll implements a critical security update, I will probably revert back to version 5.6.0.8837 which also implements the update.
