Well if you have some patience wait for AutoPatcher version 5.0 to be released. It will include ability to update Win98. This is not something to expect tomorrow or even this month as the program is being written from the ground up as an upgrade to version 4.0. However, when it is done it will be most excellent indeed for this purpose

The previous versions allready released do not include support for Win98 so there would be no sense in messing with them.

Having used AutoPatcher 4.0 for my XP box I noted that user interaction is required as this program comes with much much more than just Microbloat updates and patches but it is well worth the time spent interacting with it to install patches and the like. But once you get past user selectable options AutoPatcher will "silently" install as you desire. As with any "silent" install some third party EULA acceptance questions may crop up depending on your choices. With some command line switch tinkering it can be run completely silent. The user interaction may change with version 5.0 so don't download 5.0 with the expectation that my experience with 4.0 will be precisely reflected.

You can write a batch file and put the proper filename with the correct switch in it, i.e.

start /wait 238453US8.EXE /Q:A /R:N

The switches /Q:A /R:N works for most patches.
MDAC (german version in this case) needs a special switch:

MDAC 2.8
start /wait Mdac28de.exe /q /c:\"setup /qn1\

Security Patch for MDAC Components (for your language)
start /wait GER_Q832483_MDAC_x86.EXE /C:"dahotfix /q /n" /Q

Perhaps the Windows 9x Service Pack will be better suited for your needs?

[prathapml]

Yeah, check out the win98SE (unofficial) Service Pack, which has a forum right here.

[oftentired]

Has it changed? Can one now use the unofficial 98SE service pack to update 98? Last time I tried it wouldn't work on anything except 98SE. Looking through the forum I didn't see an answer to this question.

THANKS prathapml

REALY I KNOW THAT BUT IS THAT REALY UPDATED DAY TO DAY WHICH I USE TO DOWNLOAD FOR BETTER PERFORMANCE.

THANKS AGIAN FOR U'R KIND ATTENTION.

[prathapml]

Well, I can't really confirm it for you. You need to ask the author of the pack, or check it yourself. You'll get many suggestions here, and then following up on that is your part of the job!

Lastly, tone down the all-caps. Its equivalent to shouting, and none of us here are deaf (in fact, all-caps is irritating and will put off people).
