The Complete List of Hotfixes, Updates, and Addons for Windows 98 Second Edition

Index:

1) latest additions and changes

2) the big monster list of hotfixes, both unofficial and official mixed in together, exactly the way to show respect for Bill Gates' proprietory software ideology.

3) the list of incompatible updates

4) the "not really sure" section - if anyone can provide more info on these hotfixes that would be tops.

5) the list of obsolete hotfixes and updates. this is the reason i started this woolly mammoth task. Now you know which hotfixes to just ignore and/or delete and never have to worry about ever again for your "have I got all the updates?" peace of mind.

1. latest additions and changes

Dec 10, 2008:

- Added: BHDD31, IE956390, X360C, USBASP, Q925051

- Updated: MSXML4, RootsUpd, NV8269, DXM9x, KernelEx, RootsUpd, VBVM60, Q272991, Crypt9x, Q951072

As always, thanks to MDGx for these updates.

2. the monster list of current hotfixes for Windows 98 second edition

Color scheme - updates are organised into 2 colors:

- blue: these updates are OFFICIAL unmodified hotfixes released by Microsoft

- updates with a * at the end are NOT available from Windows Update

- most (if not all) updates hosted at www.mdgx.com are also not available from Windows Update

- red: these updates are UNOFFICIAL hotfixes released (in the main) by people who frequent MSFN

- updates with # at the end require other updates to be installed first, so read the info!

- the list was originally ordered by kb number, but recently I have just been adding the latest to the top, so the numbers might not be in order.

**Petr** · October 22, 2006

Is it possible to specify in the first post what updates are localized in various languages / multilanguage?

For hotfixes it seems to be not possible becasue only Microsoft has this information.

One year ago I have prepared a list of files in sesp2.? including the information what fixes are available in what languages, and what files are even in localized Windows English, i.e. need not to be localized:

List of files

List of fixes

I'm trying to collect all localized files for Windows 95/98/98SE/Me and to localize semi-manually 19 languages that are based on US English version. But I don't know if I'll be able to finish this project, it is very time consuming.
