hi there,
we have had reports that the following updates appear to not work perfectly in Windows 98se:
kb921503 (MS07-043) OLEAUT32.DLL (2.40.4531.0) does not work. It causes HTML script errors with library not found messages...
kb936021 (MS07-042 936227) MSXML3.DLL (8.90.1101.0) does not work. It causes application errors...
kb936181 (MS07-042 936227) MSXML4.DLL (4.20.9848.0) does not work. XML 4 simply does not do anything... Broken...
It was RetroOS who pointed this out, cheers.
The new version of MSXML 4.0 SP2 is now version 4.20.9849.0 - and i'm wondering if things are now better ... please let me know!
Sop.

I was using successfully [before my computer crash, now I don't have 98 SE 
] MSXML3.DLL 8.70.1113.0 and MSXML4.DLL 4.20.9849.0 with my 98 SE.
OLEAUT32.DLL 2.40.4519 is the newest available that works properly with Win9x to my knowledge [please see related discussion by erpdude8].
All these at my site:

Okay, here's the dig on kb941833 MSXML4.DLL 4.20.9849.0...
Same problem as previous version 4.20.9848.0.
I used AnVir Task Manager Free to show open DLLs for an application.
Some that opened MSXML4.DLL failed.
No errors, just an empty window with maybe a toolbar...
Roll back MSXML4.DLL to good version and it works...
It is important to determine that an application actually uses MSXML4.DLL since some will use MSXML.DLL, MSXML2.DLL, or MSXML3.DLL only or a combination.
Not good...
Last good version was kb927978 version 4.20.9841.0.

cheers for this. I'm rolling back the update in Auto-Patcher based upon your report.
MDGx, what say you?
I'll let you know as soon as I have my Win98 SE up and running again...
