My quote from page 31 of "98 FE + 98 SE + ME updates + patches + (hot)fixes" topic:

Quote

About the HLINK.DLL files from 920670: The hlink.dll files from the Win2000, XP & 2003 KB920670 patches have same byte sizes and same version numbers but they are NOT binarily identical. Compare the Win2000 version of KB920670 hlink.dll file with the WinXP version of KB920670 hlink.dll file using the WinDiff file comparison tool. Both are different in actual code.

I used the Win2000 version of HLINK.DLL from KB920670 under my WinME computer and so far, no problems.

I'll include these in beta 5 (not beta 4) in the 98fe SP. Beta 4 will be up early next week. No probs so far with hhctrl.ocx from KB922616. Be sure to install KB896358 HTML Help update first, then use the updated hhctrl.ocx file.

changes to beta 4:

-made some changes/corrections to the license.txt file that should mention "Windows 98 Standard Edition"

-updated esdi_506.pdr to the 48bit LBA edition made by LLXX
-updated msvcrt.dll to version 6.1.9846
-removed kb918547.exe & q918547.dll files; the gdi.exe & gdi32.dll files from U912919 also fix the MS06-026 security problems
-added windows media player 6.4 build 1129
-updated usp10.dll file to version 1.422.3790.2706

I'm now getting to a point where future beta releases will be less frequent and will be attending to stuff outside the computer world.

note to MDGx: you may want to get the 98fe SP from RapidUpload instead of Mytempdir since RapidUpload is faster.

the hticons.dll file (if it exists) will be overwritten by the one included in the 98fe SP regardless if a newer or older version was installed.

If "Hticons.dll,,,4" was specified, the SP will install the hticons.dll file whether the hticons.dll file was previously installed or not and regardless of the version of the hticons.dll file.


Link to 98fe SP 2.05 preview release 1 <link deleted>

includes shell32.dll "delete large files" + copy 2gb+4gb files fix, newer unofficial u891711 fix, newer Root Certificates update and newer Fdisk.exe + Format.com display error fixes

MDGx & erpdude,

I downloaded and used erp's OSR2 Unofficial Rollup Pack 1 (URP1) Alpha 4 from your site the other day. MDGx, you linked to the earlier Alpha 3, but I haven't seen mention of this version 4 in the forums. Also erpdude, I couldn't see a link to the pack on your site. Any reason for that?

I'm new to Windows 95 (having been a user of 98 SE for years, I guess I'm not that "new"), but decided to try it out on an old box after someone gave me their OSR2 disc. The truth is that it's actually quite cool for me to have access to IE5.5, so that I can test how it displays web stuff that I develop. Anyone who develops websites according to web standards will know how bad Internet Explorer's implementation of CSS 2.1 is (for example), so I need (want) to know how my stuff looks in that old browser. erpdude, your pack is extremely handy. While I'm not too qualified to say how successful it was, it does seem so far to have done just the job I was hoping it would. Thanks man!

Perhaps if/when the 98 Gold and OSR2 URP1 packs reach maturity (have they not already? Why is URP1 still alpha? Surely the Alpha 4 is Beta-ready...?), they could each get a sticky like Gape's USP2? In a way, they are more deserving of sticky status now than USP2, since the latter is... well... frozen and (seemingly) practically dead in terms of future development, if not actually *dead*. I'm not suggesting that USP2 be unstickied - not at all! Just that these two projects are equally (if not more) deserving of stickification, since they are far more active and up-to-date (same goes for Auto-patcher... can't wait until it's on a dialup-friendly server).

@ Erpdude:

I've translated SP for win98FE in italian, in particular USER.EXE.
How can I to edit LCID ? I must use hex-edit? If yes, where?
