This is the last known build of VLC that works on Windows 98, and it is no longer available on the VLC servers. 0.8.6i is the latest stable that works on it, but I think it would be nice to get the slightly newer build, at least for archiving purposes. Can someone link me to it or give me a copy of it?

Thanks.

Through the wonderful effort of Xeno and Tihiy (KernelEx 4.0 Final 2) I can run stable latest version of VLC (1.0.2).

If you haven't tried KernelEx yet, I recommend you give it a try.

Ofc I have, but in my experience KernelEx tends to be a bit less stable than native apps, and since VLC hasn't really gained many features/differences from .9 to 1.0 series I think I'll stick with .9 (at least for now).

The one linked to by -X- is the final release, not the nightly before 98 support was removed. It will not work, even with KernelEx.

(It gives me this error with KernelEx and Win2k or XP compatibility mode:

VLC caused an invalid page fault in

But it's kinda irrelevant, as it's an old version, and I don't want to use KernelEx to run VLC anyway)

So it's not this that you're looking for?:

Edit: this from the above forum page:

I don`t think these are Nightlys, but you should find your needed version:

Edit:
I´m sorry - just seen that the directory is empty: http://downloads.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/0.9.0/win32/
Too bad - I`ll check my computer when I get back home.

It literally has to be a nightly, because somewhere between the last version of 0.8.x and 0.9.0, 9x support was dropped (at least according to our 9x last versions thread).

Hi,
The first release of VLC 0.9.x for Windows was 0.9.2 Grishenko
http://www.videolan.org/news.html
and this version never work on W98 even with KernelEX

The first version that work on W98 was 1.0.0 with KernelEX 4.0 final 2 (and work not with the previous versions of KernelEX)

I'm pretty sure there was a .9.0 and .9.1 binary release for Windows, but either way there have been multiple developer releases of every build number, including .9.0, for Windows.
