Ah, good. I was worried about some of the bugs in the 2.1 release thread. Hope this is the end-all solution for 2.1. I'll be testing this as soon as I restore the rest of my programs (reinstalled OS, re-partitioned drives to allow for REAL DOS 7.1 and Win9x installation smile.gif ).

In fact, they were not any serious bug in the 2.1, but I want to quickly fix the reported problems.

It's great that SP provides two great PowerToys: CommandPromptHere and TweakUI.

There is one more great tool from the past that I would love to see in SP (optional).
It is WinTop (aka Windows Process Watcher, aka top for windows). It is a part of this package:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloa...Toy/Default.asp

I check that it works and it is a perfect tool to actually see what is actually running.

Hello,

with your version 2.1a i got a problem while installing, before the end of the SP install, Windows tells me that the compobj.dll file has been replaced by an older version, that the file is in use and that windows must restart to repair the problem.
Is it possible to avoid that message to be shown?

On the site you gave, it says specifically *not* to use that PowerToy with Win98. Have you had any problems using it with 98SE? Just wondering why they say not to....

Thanks WebMatze. It looks like a language problem. Does anyone have this problem in English Win 98 SE?

@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.

Yes, they say that *not* all W95 KernelToys work on W98.
WinTop *does*.

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.

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]. sad.gif

LDID directory handles for INF files:
CODE
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:\pathname
02 Temp Setup
03 Uninstall
04 Backup
10 Machine (Windows) directory
11 System directory
12 IOSubsys directory
13 Command directory
14 Control Panel
15 Printers
16 Workgroup
17 INF Directory
18 Help directory
19 Administration
20 Fonts
21 Viewers
22 VMM32
23 Color directory
24 Root of drive containing the Windows directory
25 Shared (Windows) directory
26 Guaranteed boot device for Windows (Winboot)
27 Machine
28 Host Winboot
30 Root directory of boot drive
31 Root directory of boot host drive


Hope this helps.


BTW:
I've tried SP 2.1a on 2 different 98SE installations, and worked like a charm.
Excellent job, Gape!
