Might prove handy for anyone that is running 98SE

Microsoft has never released a service pack for Windows98 SE, but I made a Service Pack for Windows98 SE users.

It contains all Windows98 SE updates from Windows Update site and more.

It is a self-extracting and self-installing pack like Microsoft's update files. Thus, you cannot choice files individually. However, the pack installs only required fixes for your system.

Uninstallation is possible from Add-Remove Programs.

This is only for WINDOWS 98 SECOND EDITION ENGLISH. I highly recommend that you should backup your system before installing the pack.

It contains only operating system updates. It does NOT contain Internet Explorer 6, DirectX 9, Media Player 9 and their updates.

Looks good.
Might have to get this as Im planning a Win98 SE re-install.
Anyone tried it and can report back on its stability ?

I suspect it's the same as this one, direct from the author:

..which I've used many times - recommended!

If you want to cut down on the junk that Microsoft includes then try 98Lite from here:

I've just been playing with this again today.

Although it includes many updates it doesn't have the latest Microsoft security patches. You'll still have to go to:
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

Note that this now also supports Windows 98 (before SE) again. Microsoft had turned this off for quite some time.
