I recently downloaded FFdshow 20060716 rev 2546, and when I went to install it it gave me a NT-only message.

Any idea what the latest version to run on Windows 98SE is?


Thanks in advance.

I have "ffdshow version Nov 11 2005 21:30:27 (icl 8, ansi)" - it works fine on 98SE.

Have you tried a manual install?

Edit: I've successfully run the installer for the version you mentioned (didn't finish it, as I obviously don't want to mess up an already working confiuration). Are you using a patched kernel or similar, which is giving the wrong versionnumber to the installer?

Not as far as I know. I've patched one PC with 98SE, but don't think its this one.

I downloaded my copy from free-codecs.com. Might be the problem.


Where did you get yours from?

http://cutka.szm.sk/files/ffdshow-20051111.exe This is the one.

There's a list of them here: http://ffdshow.sourceforge.net/tikiwiki/ti...Getting+ffdshow

OK, tried that one and it worked. Must have been my version.

When you look at http://www.free-codecs.com/download/FFDShow.htm, indeed the 2006-07-16 version does give the error message and does not want to install on Windows 98. (The SSE or SSE2 versions work. Also note that the non-SSE version is bigger in size, like 4 MB.)

You can also go to this site for a version that works on Windows 98, and then of course the site given by LLXX.

ffdshow-20060505-rev2546.exe is the one I currently use (non SSE). I can't find it anywhere for download ATM. Was on freecodecs.com before the current non SSE build which doesn't install. (A simple mistake with Inno Setup I think)

You can easily unpack it with Inno Unpacker though :
