Unofficial Windows 98 SE Service Pack 2.0 beta 3

Software and Dev Software & Tools
1

Microsoft has never released a service pack for Windows98 SE. But here is 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.

This is only for WINDOWS 98 SECOND EDITION ENGLISH. We highly recommend that you should backup your system before installing the pack.

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

  • If you want to use only Tihiy’s unofficial Q891711 fix, you should
    uninstall official Q891711 fix from Add/Remove Programs.

  • Unattended installation support is added, but it only installs
    “Main Updates/Hotfixes” part. For unattended installation, use this command:
    CODE
