98SE Unofficial service pack

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:

Windows 98 booting from 16MB Compact Flash on a Jumptec single board PC with 3MB FREE space - NO compression, NO ramdrive!!

It's the same one as if you look towards the bottom the sofpedia link is there

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.
