Joe.

There is no relationship.
But it is important to mention not to mix the different packages INCLUDING SYSTEM UPDATES with another as this may lead to system instability or BSOD.
I only install my pack the WUPG98 and afterwars the KernelEx update (which is btw integrated in the WUPG98 too because it is 100% compatible, but you can only install it manually) this works superb.

OK, thanks (and warning noted).

So, that means they are alternative upgrade paths for W98SE, right?

(In which case, it looks like this one may be more comprehensive and up-to-date, since it's larger and has been more recently updated.)

Yeah, I have to also say that it would be good to have a 'definitive' upgrade/autopatcher that has all updates and then in the topic thread say wich ones are being updated (like the obvious, kex and RP)

It would also be nice if the program worked in advanced mode and had a list like the updates thread that allowed 'selective' updates. IE I might not want "Command Prompt Here" in my context menu etc

after installing this pack, I could install dx10, unofficial Russian vertion, games are excellent, do not post the link so that you do not consider it spam, but it's surprising run in win9x with wupg98 dx10 really a masterpiece, sorry for my poor English y Gracias,

Thats because the pack is made "microsoft windows like".

You know that of course Windows from Microsoft offers a lot of stuff (where you maybe said "do I really need the Windows XP background, or was that really good to remove Real Dos from ME")and
I tried to add more stuff, without removing any.
Furthermore the packs setup ist more designed in a way of usability(ok I know the dos box is a bit scary) more than for an user professional.
Thats why nearly everything gets installed. So a normal user doesn't have to think too much about it.


But anyway, for some features there is also an folder where you can activate them optionally.
You must look up the folder for that.
Anyway it was much work when I started the pack 6 years ago, and I even was a teenager (17) that time.
I'm much more glad that I was so young when I built it , than the improvements of nowadays.
But the superbar alternative for W98 is also a cool feature I integrated in the pack =).

As there are no official update from Microsoft anymore. There was only the WMP9 security patch in 2010, and as you can install Kernel Ex(which brings support for FireFox ), its not necessary anymore to update the IE6 patches(as IE6 is sorry to say so a dying browser as for flash support and youtube).

There is one.
The WUPG98 is from me.
The Auto-Patcher is a "clone" from somebody else.

? "Clone" ?
AutoPatcher (I had thought) was an Original project, just like UBCD98SE (soporific for both).
I was a part of both projects. It took great effort to construct all of the BAT files to implement it/them.
?"Clone"?
Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
Not to denigrate WUPG98, but... "CLONE"??? (I beg your pardon... please correct me if I'm wrong.)

I checked "my" server right now.
It appears EVERY free homepage server using "host.sk" isn't working now.
Thats why wupg98.net.tf isn't working because its just a free-domain for the url http://bpa23.host.sk/wupg.html
So that the download isn't working currently is only logic, if the site doesn't open.
Its anyway not my fault if the web server is unavailable.
If you urgently need the pack then additionally look up mdgx.com.
The server will be available again right in time. So just wait if you have the time.
Don't worry be happy .
Thx.

[prowler]

It works good and stable! But have some questions... After install WUPG98 am I need these updates:
MDCU (Maximus Decim Cumulative Update) - think NOT.
MDDACU (Maximus Decim Data Access Component Update) - ?
MDIE6CU (Maximus Decim Internet Explorer 6 SP1 Component Update) - ?
NUSB [?] (Native USB) for Windows 98/98SE - optional?

*NUSB won't be needed, USB improvement is already integrated in WUPG98.
About MDIE6CU I have to say the last IE6 Update in the 98Pack is called

*KB953838 Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (October, 2008) .
So if MDIE6CU has updates newer than Oct. 2008 YOU SHOULD INSTALL THEM if using IE6(!).
Not if you use firefox already.

*About MDDACU and MDCU I know to less.

Thank you very much!
I hope everything is ok again.
Anyway if you use Firefox there should be nearly zero problems.

The actual file is fine. It is a WinRar SFX and is a perfectly safe archive. Here is the one from that link that I just tested ...

2013-04-28 00:55 29,746,887 wupg98en-AFL.EXE

The problem that the above commenter is describing originates from the piece of crap website called Uploading.com. When you first get to the intermediate page for downloading you have to quickly uncheck the box that says "use download accelerator". The page is on a timer, so you have to be fast ...



If you fail to do this, the default automatically sends you the "download accelerator", a euphemism for a spyware laden un-necessary software ...



Note the size of the file indicated by the arrow. Many sites send you a downloader and most times they are a few hundred KB in size like this one. You do not want or need the "downloaders" because at the very least they will have toolbars, if not actual spyware.

So uncheck that box quickly and you should never see the downloader. I suggest the OP edit the top post and warn folks ( you can use this image if you want - http://i.imgur.com/k3pd4aP.jpg - it is that first one shown ).

P.S. Another thing to note is that the default action for that file download dialog in my Opera window there is "Save" and NOT "Run". I can't remember if that is something that Opera has by default or if it is a preference I changed. But it is a very important distinction because if it were "Run" it would mean the only thing separating your computer from malware is a single click or "Enter".

EDIT: typos
