Last Versions of Software for Windows 98SE


Recommended Posts


Nitro Professional 6 version 2.1.1005.0 (and presumably the entire 6 line) doesn't work as it uses the Windows 3.1 installer ...

You shold better say "Windows installer 3.1". At first I didn't understand it and thought that it is something about Windows 3.1.

Seems that the last version of Avast Home Edition for 9x is 4.8.1356.

My mistake. I took too much notice of an announcement on Filehippo of a new version of Avast Home.

New version of Avast Home Edition:

ONGD - FREE - Avast! 4 Home (4.8.1367) --- http://www.avast.com

In fact, I just forced a Win98SE box to update its program, and it now tells me that the Avast! version is 4.8.1368. Good on Avast!

I just had a look at the avast! revision history. It appears that they broke 9x support in 4.8.1367 and then fixed it in 4.8.1368.

I was using 4.8.1356 and then today updated to 4.8.1368, so I never saw any problems.

Well, at least they are currently proactive with 9x compatibility. :thumbup

Unfortunately, utorrent just dropped support for all Win 9x. Up to now, this tiny, fast and useful torrent program supported even Windows 98. I wonder what led the developers to drop support.

Last version to work is 1.8.5 (build 17091).

Current version, which no longer works, is 1.8.5 (build 17414).

uTorrent 1.8.5 (build 17091) is available from FileHippo:

http://www.filehippo.com/download_utorrent/6484/

GnuPG 1.4.10 no longer installs on Win9x, so:

LAST - FREE - GnuPG (The GNU Privacy Guard) 1.4.9 --- ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32cli-1.4.9.exe

I had version 1.8.4 in stalled on this system.

I just downloaded 1.8.5 (build 17414) and installed it. I did not un-install my existing version. No complaints or warnings during the installation. It launched right after the installation and I confirmed that I'm now running 1.8.5 build 17414 on my win-98 system.

If I have kernelEx installed on this system (which I'm pretty sure I do) it would be version 3.6.
