MD5 for v4.1 Full: 3F9C877C92B0A59385C3666B6244C436

What is this?
This is a compilation of most major patches found here, in this subforum. I've also included IE6.0SP1, and DirectX 9.0c (June 2006 w/Managed DX).

What's included?
All Unofficial Service Packs for 98 Gold, SE, And Windows Me.
MDGx's 98SE2Me
Tihiy's (re-release) RPLite v5, and instructions/zip for lameskin v6 preview.
7-Zip
Windows Media Player 9.0 + Codecs
MDGx's Windows Media Player 10.0 for Win98SE
Xeno86's Kernel Update Project v0.2.7
Maximus Decim's NUSB, NUSB Decorator patches
Maximus Decim's MDAC update package
Maximus Decim's IE6.0 components update for Win98SE
Microsoft XML Update

There's probably more that I'm forgetting, but I think this sums it up.

Why?

I find it easier to have a cd full of the stuff that makes this forum so great.... and it's easier to work on older systems that have no NIC, or fast connection to the internet.

This project has taken 2 weeks of work to get together, including finding the best way to package it.

What format is this file?

It is a 7zip archive wrapped within a 7zip installer. It can be successfully decompressed with WinRAR or 7zip, or any other 7-zip compatible archivers (p7zip for linux users).

If you run the file, it will decompress into your Windows Temp folder (in a folder called "7zxxxxx", where x is a random string...), or your local user profile temp folder (Win2k/XP/NT).

Comments/Questions are appreciated.

I'll be requesting Majorgeeks.com's mirroring help for this release, if all goes well.

Above all, please enjoy this release!

Credit has been given to all those involved by using their names for the folder names within the compilation. This way, everything is organized, and people get name recognition!

edit2: Seems MajorGeeks.com has caught on today, and has posted the download as well. Added Link.
EDIT3: Added links for v4.1 full and v4.1 Patch, as well as mirrors.

Perfect thanks!

[MagicAndre1981]

cool

Is it english? If yes, could you make a german one, please???

[winxpi]

Translating such a pack by one self is very hard work! =(
And as it includes other ones updates that may not be in German it's not
sure if this can be done.

[jimmsta]

I've got to remember to add this- This pack is ENGLISH only. I have not been able to get it translated. If anyone wants to translate it, I'd be grateful.

[MagicAndre1981]

Really ?

Oh *crying* So I have to search for a german-pack for my Dads PC.

[prx984]

If I can get a team of people together, I will be willing to get a multi-language (non-english) release going.
I've already created a simple "Multi-Language" logo for it (included in the current release download, with PSD files). I was planning on a multilingual edition sometime in the future.

[MagicAndre1981]

this would be great

[jimmsta]

Looks like I'll either be pulling this release, and updating it, or releasing a patch, since Tihiy has fixed some relativley major bugs in Revolutions v5, as well as Maxiums-Decim's new NUSB v2.3 release.

I'd love to be able to simply patch it, which I'll attempt, but it's really just going to be W9xPP v4.1.

Tatata! 2 updates released for RPLite V are NOT CRITICAL, NOT MAJOR and HIGHLY OPTIONAL.
NUSB 2.3 mostly = NUSB 2.2 + NUSB Decorator. Relax.

Alrighty. I'll keep it up, not change a thing. I'll offer a small update patch if there's demand for it. Otherwise, the readme will point people to here, anyway.

[the_guy]

@jimmsta: I plan on updating my SP in a few days to make it as bug-free as possible.

Why you don't have an automated instalation of all these updates?
Your power pack is like an autostart menu of any CD jimmsta!!!

I can't wait to install the Power Pack it with my Dial Up ...anyway does it pose a problem if I already intalled some of these softwares...such as Revolutions Lite the kernel Update and such?

It's not intended as an automated installer. There's no way to test for all bugs, and I don't want to be held responsible for people losing their data due to an automated installer. All this is, is a PACK of installers, and tools, nothing more. It's a single package of most patches for win98 FE/SE/Me. I've toyed with the automated installer idea, and had created an early version of it, but never finished it. (Using INFex). I really don't like the idea of an automated installer, since most of the time, you have to reboot in between patches (all of the time, actually). It would not make sense to do so.

[Kelsenellenelvian]

Thank you again, is there any way you can release a small update for it with the usb and revolutions updates?

[jimmsta]

I'd probably have to do that anyway... Yes, I'll release an update, with a replacement autorun with new links.

[Kelsenellenelvian]

Thank you!

jimmsta:

You may wish to upload the PowerPack somewhere else, like Major Geeks and/or Softpedia, because your download link doesn't work:
http://repository.jimmsta.com/w9xpp/index....nloads&id=2

Nor does your main page:
http://www.jimmsta.com/

Probably too high traffic?

FYI:
I've added a link to this forum here:
http://www.mdgx.com/web.htm#98SE
and at my front page [under "Windows 98/98 SE/ME Updates + Patches"]:
http://www.mdgx.com/
I would like to change the MSFN link to your home page for the PowerPack [I presume you have 1], because MSFN now requires subscription even to read posts.
But because your site is down, I'll have to wait till it'll be back up again, hopefully soon.
