UNOFFICIAL Windows98 Second Edition Service Pack 1.6.2 (http://exuberant.ms11.net/98sesp.html)

Has anyone had experience using this?


Microsoft has never released a service pack for Windows98 SE. But I made a Service Pack for Windows98 SE users. It contains all Windows98 SE updates from Windows Update site and more.

It is a self-extracting and self-installing pack like Microsoft's update files. Thus, you cannot choice files individually. However, the pack installs only required fixes for your system. Uninstallation is possible from Add-Remove Programs. However, I don't recommend uninstallation of the pack, if you don't have any problem.

This is only for WINDOWS 98 SECOND EDITION ENGLISH. I highly recommend that you should backup your system before installing the pack. You must have at least 32 MB of RAM.

It contains only operating system updates. It does NOT contain Internet Explorer 6, DirectX 9, Media Player 9 and their updates.

Thanks for the update on this SoS. I have used this update on many machines at work, it adds support for common flash drives and sets the system to look like Windows 2000. Just take care not to restart before all the updates are installed, it will say when it's done but has many prompts before then to reboot, so beware.

I've pretty much given up on dealing with 98, I just install 2000 instead, its much more stable and works with new things like iTunes.

As much as M$FT sucks at getting updates out on time, or ever dare I say... early... I would never trust a software patch for closed-source software from a 3rd party. Don't get me wrong - it's cool that this person has put all the individual releases together into one package, I would just never use it. It's not too tough to go to windows update and D/L everything you need. You can also download the individual updates as stand-alone MSI's and deploy them over the network - or just burn them all to CD and install them from there. But that's just my opinion...

Weren't those things around in the late 70s and early 80s? :icon_mrgr

Close enough dude... The guy would be better off just giving handies on a street corner for a few nights to get the cash for a copy of WinXP...
