WebMatze Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 THe French version of the Service Pack 2.1a is available on Gravure-hebdoBye
fogWraith Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 And it just works Uploaded it to my host, if anyone wants a fast mirror =Phttp://www.emulation.dk/repository/exubera.../sesp21a-en.exe
appp Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 Yes, they say that *not* all W95 KernelToys work on W98.WinTop *does*.
jimmsta Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 (edited) I've got a strange problem. I've got a Win98SE installation with a previously-applied 98se2me, and the latest (2.1a) SP. For some really strange reason, my double-click function is now pre-set to default to Search, or Find... this is not useful. Here's a screenshot of the problem:Also, the My Documents link on the desktop is missing its icon, and WILL NOT launch the correct folder. In this screenshot, you can see that I had to make a shortcut directly to the folder, just to access it.I'll be trying this out on a vanilla 98SE install, in vmware, as well... This is mearly a heads up for all 98se2me users that haven't updated their copy of 98se2me in a while, and apply this new SP.EDIT: Oh yeah, and the start button/start menu DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. I click the start button, and it stays depressed, but nothing shows up... (as you can see in the above screenshots). Use of TaskManager is the only way to reboot from within the virtual machine.

MDGx Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 (edited) Gape:I have recently noticed [at least on 1 computer] that "UpdateInis" INF directive works properly only if adding the folder handle name in front of the file(s) to be modified.Example:[Version]Signature=$CHICAGO$[DefaultInstall]UpdateInis=UPDini[uPDini]%31%\MSDOS.SYS,Options,,"SystemReg=0"%31%\WINBOOT.INI,Options,,"SystemReg=0"as opposite to:[Version]Signature=$CHICAGO$[DefaultInstall]UpdateInis=UPDini[uPDini]MSDOS.SYS,Options,,"SystemReg=0"WINBOOT.INI,Options,,"SystemReg=0"Without "%31%\" setup thinks msdos.sys + winboot.ini are in %windir% [false], not in C:\ root [true]. LDID directory handles for INF files:LDID = Logical Disk IDentifier.Can be one of these values:00 Null [This LDID can be used to create a new LDID]01 Source driveletter:\pathname02 Temp Setup03 Uninstall04 Backup10 Machine (Windows) directory11 System directory12 IOSubsys directory13 Command directory14 Control Panel15 Printers16 Workgroup17 INF Directory18 Help directory19 Administration20 Fonts21 Viewers22 VMM3223 Color directory24 Root of drive containing the Windows directory25 Shared (Windows) directory26 Guaranteed boot device for Windows (Winboot)27 Machine28 Host Winboot30 Root directory of boot drive31 Root directory of boot host driveHope this helps.BTW:I've tried SP 2.1a on 2 different 98SE installations, and worked like a charm.Excellent job, Gape!

eidenk Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 I've just installed the service pack (all options but metapad checked) on a fresh Win98SE install under a virtual machine (in QEMU) and I suffer from none of the problems Jimmsta describes above. Everything works as normal.Very nice service pack by the way.I also think that Wintop from the win95 kernel toys should be included. Maybe also the Timezone Editor and the DOS Mode Configuration Wizard.

Use of TaskManager is the only way to reboot from within the virtual machine.I had experienced this a while back with 98SE2ME [this used to be a problem only with option 3 if I recall correctly], but it has been fixed.Please re-install 98SE2ME after you have installed SP 2.1a.98SE2ME:http://www.msfn.org/board/?showtopic=46349I don't know if SP 2.1a needs [or not] to be fixed/changed, that is a question for Gape.Hope this helps.
Petr Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 Just tip for cleaning up the code ()The following lines have exactly the same result in [AddReg.Something] sections of INF files:HKLM,TestKey,TestValue,0x00010001,0x00000400HKLM,TestKey,TestValue,0x00010001,0x400HKLM,TestKey,TestValue,0x00010001,00,04,00,00HKLM,TestKey,TestValue,0x00010001,1024HKLM,TestKey,TestValue,0x00010001,00001024HKLM,TestKey,TestValue,0x10001,0x00000400HKLM,TestKey,TestValue,0x10001,0x400HKLM,TestKey,TestValue,0x10001,00,04,00,00HKLM,TestKey,TestValue,0x10001,1024HKLM,TestKey,TestValue,0x10001,00001024HKLM,TestKey,TestValue,0x10001,"0x00000400"HKLM,TestKey,TestValue,0x10001,"0x400"HKLM,TestKey,TestValue,0x10001,"00,04,00,00"HKLM,TestKey,TestValue,0x10001,"1024"HKLM,TestKey,TestValue,0x10001,"00001024"HKLM,TestKey,TestValue,"0x10001","0x00000400"HKLM,TestKey,TestValue,"0x10001","0x400"HKLM,TestKey,TestValue,"0x10001","00,04,00,00"HKLM,TestKey,TestValue,"0x10001","1024"HKLM,TestKey,TestValue,"0x10001","00001024"HKLM,TestKey,TestValue,65537,0x00000400HKLM,TestKey,TestValue,65537,0x400HKLM,TestKey,TestValue,65537,00,04,00,00HKLM,TestKey,TestValue,65537,1024HKLM,TestKey,TestValue,65537,00001024I have read (not tested) that for Windows 95 is the correct syntax only:HKLM,TestKey,TestValue,65537,00,04,00,00In SPUPDATE.INF are combined various syntaxes.Petr
Petr Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 Just in case this forum is read by some people from Czech Republic - beta version is here: http://www.winpack.org/nsp_petr/sesp21cs-beta4.exe and Czech discussion forum is here http://www.macich.net/winarna/viewforum.php?f=27Petr
bristols Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 (edited) I know everyone concerned is busy and have lives to live, but I wish that the "detailed list" of the "120+ updates and hotfixes" would be prepared soon.This is partly because I am confused (still) about what the pack includes and what it doesn't include. For example, quoting from Gape's site, he says:It contains only operating system updates. It does NOT contain Internet Explorer 6, DirectX 9, Media Player 9 and their updates.But the pack does contain some IE updates, doesn't it? For instance, new in 2.1a is Q885836 (MSWRD632.WPC), which, as I understand it, is an IE6 SP1 update.Edit: oops - my mistake. It's not. For some reason, I mistook it for 885258. I'm not sure why, heh. But nevertheless: does the pack now contain some IE updates (e.g, 903235)?Clasys recently mentioned a list (that he either has, or is making) of all IE updates (IE6 SP1 specifically I think - correct me if I'm wrong). Sharing this, combined with a list of all the updates in 2.1a, would be extremely helpful to everyone concerned, I think.Although I am a relative newbie in all this, I have also just begun compiling my own lists. If I get the time and they turn out to be comprehensive enough (or at least a bit useful), I will post these online somewhere.P.S. - thanks Gape, Petr and everyone else concerned for your dedication, skill and generosity in preparing these packs.

creopard Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 @swgreed: It looks like DSOUND.DLL problem is similar. Please, add these two lines for DSOUND.DLL and COMPOBJ.DLL to solve "in use" problems.It actually was similar added additionally:[Copy.System]DSOUND.DLL,,DSOUND.TMP,4[Copy.Sysbckup]DSOUND.DLL,,,4and it installs perfectly.

k.eight.a Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 (edited) Hi! I new to this board and I have a few simple questions...1) What are the differences among those patches for W98 that can be found in the sticky threads...? 98 SE SP 2.1a98SE2ME: ME -> 98 SE Killer ReplacementsWindows 98 Revolutions Pack LiteInstallation Guide for Win98 SE SP 2.0Service pack for Windows 98 Standard (First, Gold)...and the alternative USB driver Maximus Decim Native USB ver.2.22) Is it possible to include all of those updates into an instalation CD of W98 se? If yes, how? 3) What do you recommend me to try out first? Unfortunately I don't enough time to inspect all of the possibilities right now but I'm in hurry, to instal a brand new instalation of W98 to my friends computer so I want to gain some of the advantages that are presented here!
