Auto-Patcher For Windows 98se (English)

[ZaPbUzZ]

this is the only patch system I trust and it would be good to see R. Loew's patches included in a new version.  i don't use the 2008 patch mentioned it causes issues.

Scroll a little bit. Lol

I must say FWIW that I never had any problems with the 2008 update to Auto-Patcher, but of course it's now 12 years old, and the Service Pack must be far more up to date now!

BTW, the Service Pack download link still seems to serve version 3.65, not version 3.66.

Is there any localized version of any kind of "service pack" for 98se? I have a pentium mmx laptop that I brought back to life (old capacitors are crap, they leak everywhere...)

The site says it's not going to be released to the public.

[Dave-H]

Ah yes, I've just seen that now!

Very strange. So what's the point in publishing it if you're not going to let anyone download and use it?

There is no full 2008 edition, the December 2008 patch was just an update for the December 2007 full edition.
You have to have the December 2007 full version installed before you can use the update.
The 2008 Update file I've got is 45.3MB (47,558,413 bytes to be precise).
If yours is different it may well not be OK.
I would personally now use the 3.65 version of the Service Pack if I was wanting to update a new Windows 98SE installation from scratch, as it must surely be more up to date than any of the existing Auto-Patcher versions.

It depends on means and purposes.

I use the windows millennium step up edition it malfunctions with patch 3.65. My reason for using step up is demonstrated on archive dot org

i can be found there anyhow.
