Thanks for the links for 280448, and the info about 318307 --- is there any information about 280448? I still don't know exactly what it is and the problem its supposed to fix ... anyone, anyone?


we try our best.

Good idea, i'll add them soon ...

Lots of people will still be making them available, and I can guarantee you that every single update can be found in the autopatcher package.

Just a heads up that 888113 is replaced by 920670.

Windows Script Control

see this Toshiba Europe support page, soporific. they have some info on what the Q280448 patch does for Win98se.

I would install Q276602 hotfix first before installing Q280448 since Q280448 has version 4.10.2228 of the pci.vxd file and 280448 contains only the newer pci.vxd file while 276602 has ios.vxd (4.10.2224), mshdc.inf and pci.vxd (4.10.2227) files.

Q276602 is in the list of hotfixes section and also in the obselete
section which is it?

thanks heaps man.
I have cleared up the confusion - q276602 is back in the main list (i've determined its a good idea to install it because of mshdc.inf which is not installed with any other hotfix. The inf file looks like it could be useful in certain circumstances.)

Hey Soporific, the link to your thread is saved as my Bookmark. So whenever i suspect that you might have updated some stuff i check it right from my bookmarks. May be everybody else would have done the same.

I am attempting to install the SecurityUpDates for IE v6 but when attempting to do the "Ie6upd.exe" it tells me I need to have the IE v6 first. I do have it installed on my system with SP1 and internet tools. SYSInfo shows "IE 5 6.0.2800.1106" where should I start?

Thank you for reading my message,

Quick reply: this happens quite a bit with other hotfixes ... it happens when MS has a dodgy method for checking if the update is needed or not. If it doesn't pass whatever test it has setup, it gives that message about needing IE6 installed.

I'll look into this a bit more and report back...

Soporific,

Thank you for this reply and for looking into some of these difficulties I am having. I have just about given-up on making these installs for IEv6.0 and the others for Win98SE so I can get the "98SE2XP" installed. Have considered just staying with the "98SE2ME" because of those problems. My system is so old and slow that these more modern, HA, HA, versions of these softwares and updates from Microsoft are such a HASSEL to complete, for one, and more of a hassel to download from Microsoft. When Mozilla FireFox is so much better, faster, more, secure, tabbing, etceteras.

I know you people are working with Microsoft software and are keeping it updated for us and I do appreciate this as I am one of those that is stuck in 'limbo' and cannot afford to acquire a faster, stronger, more efficient, better computer or the software.

When I finally win the Lotto, cannot afford that either, I will be out of your hair and into better everythingy.

Thank you for your efforts and reading my posts,

no worries ... am still looking into your original issue ...

NativeTexan:

I have just released the new unified 98MP10 [installs all files from 98SE2XP + 98SEMP10]:
http://www.mdgx.com/wmp.htm#98MP10
So no need to install 98SE2XP nor 98SEMP10 = they are both obsolete now.

HTH

Actually, thanks for the post --- i've had your latest updates page open all day but it was the earlier version - i wouldn't have seen the additions for days !! -- maybe you saw that I was looking at the page and thought that I hadn't refreshed.... well, you were right!! Good on you for posting ...

MDGx,

Thank you for this information, would I need to un-install the copy of "98SE2ME" that I presently have on my system? I do not have the "98SE2MP10" installed, have been using just the MP v9.0.

My main problem has been the IE v6.0 SP1/w Internet Tools will not download most of the updates needed for IE or Win98SE.

I too thank you for this post and "soporific" for his post as well, check my e-mail two or three times aday while attempting to do a little (cough, hack) reading?

Thank you for reading my post,

There is no such thing as 98SE2MP10.
If you are referring to 98SEMP10...
98SE2ME is completely different than 98SE2XP or 98SEMP10 or 98MP10.

Please see the readme text files for details on what each one does:
98SE2ME:

HTH [Hope This Helps]

This is a result of NOT knowing what I am talking about nor knowing the names of these files. Yes, you are so very correct and I have done that, referenced those locations and now have thingys in control. I have figured out what I had done wrong and corrected that. After re-reading the install instructions several times it became clear and all is under control to charge forward.

I did an now have installed the "98MP10" that includes the MPlayer v10 and "98SE2XP".

I also wish to thank you for taking the time out of your day to respond to my DUMB question. If I had just read and re-read several times it would have been alright, I did not and posted that stupid question. Most of the time you probably can answer my questions by saying, "read the instructions, read the instructions, read the instructions, and when you are done read the instructions." Unfortunately I am one of those that needs the instructions on the bottom of the heal to be able to clear any liquid inside of my boot. If you know what I mean!

Thank you so very much for reading and taking the time to send me a message,

Q925051 Jet 4.0 fix. replaces Q918144 patch

4th Jan, 2007:
Added to main list: PNGFIX (by Tihiy)


A note: just because I don't post a new message, doesn't mean the list isn't being updated. Sometimes I am just too busy ...

NativeTexan,

Please DO NOT install the Microsoft Security Updates Cd. That thing installs some outdated stuff and changes the version of 98SE so some newer updates (and programs) won't recognize the proper version of Windows so will refuse to install.

That was one of the reasons it was discontinued a long time ago.

The auto-patcher gives you the working updates without the obsolete stuff. And all the latest available security fixes as well.

What I still haven't found out is ,how do I find out if a new Rootsupdate is released?

"ECK,"

Thank you for this advice, I do NOT have the MSSecUpdt CD so that is not a problem for me. I may not be on here very often as I am working on another "PutToGetherFromManyOtherPutToGegthers" and 'SomeCanibalizedSystems', they are in the range of approximately 6 -7 years old. PLUS, attempting to do some other work on this one without crashing it so I can still get on the web.

I am NOT sophisticated enough to have any updated software on a CD, all of mine are OEMs at about 7 - 8 years old. The only thingys I have are downloaded from the web. At this time NOT really sure what I have to install, that will be worked out later.

Thank you for everythingy and will be back very seldom for maybe the next 3-4 weeks or maybe even a month or two,

Soporific, you may wanna replace NUSB23e with NUSB24, unless there's a strong reason to keep the older version on the list (can't see any reason though).
Keep it up! ;-)

"soporific,"

You are doing the right thingy, by me anyways, as this list is what I needed to make a stab at moving ahead. You do not know how much you have HELPed me. Now to see if Microsoft will allow me to download these files, updates, hotfixes, whatever.

Thank you for reading my posty-toastie,

BTW, some of the links in the list are broken. For example, here are two:

http://www.mdgx.com/files/IE918899.EXE
http://www.mdgx.com/files/OE911567.EXE

There may be others, as I only checked a few of them.

Phil

Since these are both cumulative security updates for Internet Explorer 6 SP1, does that mean that the release of KB925454 has made the KB918899 update obsolete?

Phil

Yes, those updates are obsolete.
That's why the links are broken = it's on purpose.

Yes, KB918899 is obsolete, was replaced with IE925454.EXE .

Current cumulative fixes always here:

"Soporific,"

If you ever get your 'plate' emptied send me a PM and I will assist you in finding some more thingys. Otherwise, forget my problem for now and do your work. I am still attempting to do all of the updates and only have about 20 done, you are updating this list faster than I can download and install. NOT a problem though, with my housekeeping duties along with running erends and the "HoneyDo's" this has taken a back seat for a short or maybe a long, not sure yet.

When I get caught up maybe thingys will work better.

Thank you to one and all that have sent posties on my problems, there are many and have no list at this time, besides this is getting too long.

Nice compilation...thanks alot

i HAVE A PRESSING NEED (sorry caps lock) to sort out most of the hotfixes for Windows 98se according to localization. i want to release a new version of the unattended boot CD for Win98se and it's going to do more than just install the OS. You can optionally choose to install some hotfixes (i haven't worked out which ones yet) as part of the OS installation - saves you doing it after setup finishes. I only want to do the absolute essentials so the package isn't a 200 MB whopper like Auto-Patcher (AP) is. So the candidate list so far is:

* Dialup Networking 1.4
* all the hotfixes from the Stability module in AP
* some of the critical hotfixes from both the Critical Security and Critical & Recommended modules in AP.
* WMP9
* DX9c (not sure about this)

hopefully the total package size won't be much over 30 MB

What do people think?

So, in preparation for adding localization support, i need to first work out which hotfixes are language dependent and which ones aren't. I suppose my first question has to be: what's the deal with hotfixes and localizations? Are they all language dependent? Can amyone give me the lowdown on what i need to know ... URLs would be nice as well.

Is there a list like this thats avaliable for windows ME?

Anyone, anyone? I want to start including some hotfixes into my unattended boot cd project



Probably not because you'd have to be a bit zealous to create a list like this one, and, let's face it, who's going to get passionately zealous about Windows Me? (enough to go to the trouble that is)

The job is there for the taking ... me, i'd prefer to jostle with many others for the Win98se one ...

Hmmm well i can fully understand that as if im honest i have now realised what a worthless piece of crap ME is.

Yes there is a list of hotfixes for ME that I compiled some time ago. It is a bit old so it may not be complete. It's from a little bit before the_guy started the ME service pack. Search the forum to find it. You'll find the rest under the WinME service pack thread.

I saw youtube vid of win98se dressed up like xp, so i was going to post them files here long time ago, but couldnt find the old old old CDs ;-)
fortunately i got the files from buddy, so here it is: some cool xp-alike startup and shutdown screens for windows 98se (logo.sys, logow.sys, logos.sys) and if anyone is interested to make it same as seen on youtube vid i can post other files too (wallpap, sounds, theme with icons and colour scheme)

thats the vid:
Win98SE like XP on youtube

imho it'll be nice if someone adds those cute startups/shutdowns to some new 98SE Service Pack...

soporific - you are terrific

list is great, but how about marking somehow (diff. color, bold font, whatever) the updates that are NOT available from Windows Update from those that are available?

Actually Q925672 [the EXE] can be installed only on...

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1/6.0 SP2 for Windows 2000 SP4/XP SP1/2003 [and newer] MSXML Control 4.0 SP2 MSXML4.DLL Security Vulnerability Fix:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=925672
Direct download [4.8 MB]:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/0...b925672-enu.exe

Yes, it can be installed on 9x OSes [98 and newer], but only if one extracts the MSI file from inside the EXE first, and then runs the MSI file on Win98/98 SP1/98 SE/ME [MSI files require MSI Installer APIs to be installed].
If you run msxml.msi , the MSXML*.DLL files [MSXML4.DLL + MSXML4R.DLL] are installed following the NTx model, into %windir%\WINSXS subdirectories, not in %windir%\system [9x model], which is useless for 9x OSes, they do not use those directories nor the registry entries associated with them, as far as I'm aware.
... Besides, Q925672 installs an obsolete version:
MSXML4.DLL 4.20.9839.0
Newest version [for 98/ME + 2000/XP/2003 OSes] is:
MSXML4.DLL 4.20.9841.0
from Q927978, found here:
http://www.mdgx.com/ietoy.htm#XML

HTH

Dunno about the above mentioned files (MSXML*.DLL), but Visual C 2005 runtime redistributable also uses the SxS system, and the libraries are correctly loaded when called by some application (tested it with some Miranda IM plug-ins). On this basis, I assume the SxS should work on a 9x system as long as the registry information is correct.

1st May, 2007:
Updated in main list: kb891711 (original kb number, the title is actually Q891711)

I was curious about updates that have the same files such as
253711/4756US8 Configmg.vxd
273727/273991 vserver.98g/vserver.98s
314757/314941 upnp.dll/4.90.3003.0
etc...
is it really necessary to install updates that have the same files/versions?
