Windows 98 Service Pack 1

[Grb232]

I came across a friend that told me about a windows 98 service pack. i just blew him off when he mentioned it. I just didn't believe him. Has anyone come across this service pack. Does it actually do what it says it will do.

I just need a little reinsurance.

There was a Win98SP1. Its not available anymore, but that's okay, because it only included a few things (Y2K fixes, IE4, etc) that are either available seperately, or are outdated.

Official MS Windows 98 SP1 components are available from MS servers and can be downloaded + installed only on Windows 98 FE (First Edition):

To my knowlegde there is no unofficial SP for Windows 98 FE.

1. If u would have used/installed this patch [wucsp.exe = linked from the URL u posted], u would know that this is only 1 out of 3 components that make up 98FE SP1.

If u check the URL at my site I posted above:

http://www.mdgx.com/web.htm#SP1

u would notice that I provide links to all 3 SP1 components, and all 3 are available from MS servers, there is no need to go 3rd party [wucsp.exe u link to is located on PC World ftp server].

2. We, the "regulars" here at MSFN 95/98/ME forums, we all know [more or less] about Gape's SP 2.x.

Gape's SP 2.x home page is here:

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

He links to 3 different servers for d/l, and the 1 u mention happens to be MajorGeeks, who's webmasters happen to be buddies of mine.

I usually notify them when Gape posts a new SP release. B)

But the point was that at this time there is NO SP for Win98 FE (First Edition), at least not yet, until Gape, Petr and/or somebody else [myself included] decide to take up such time consuming project.

Hope this helps.

There is, there are two official and many unnofial realeses of service pack, I believe they integrate some on the second edition (SE). So they always talk about first edition updates (FE), you can find them here:
