Can Autopatcher be customized for Win98/ME patches


Recommended Posts

Proving the concept. No point messing about with configuration if something isn't going to work. It's running through a test run as we speak.

Saying that, this SHOULD be everything that is needed to bring Win98SE up to date after a clean install. For my purposes, I won't be needing any configuration so I probably wont be taking it much further than this.

Still haven't found a way to do a silent, no reboot install of DX9, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing for me. I have stuck it as the final update so it's taking care of the reboot that'll be needed at the end.

Well sounds good... even though we won't be making a version for 98, I'm glad your version works. Also, it's good for anyone else who would like to manually make one for 98. :)

Sorry if it is old question, but I'm newbie:)

I was wondering if there is some custom made patcher like AutoPatcher XP

that would update Windows 98SE with all patches that were available via WindowsUpdate site. I have many machines on my work that arent connected to internet so its very hard for me to update them.

Any suggestion or tip?Is there some big file with all offline update files for 98SE?

Thnx in advance

I've basically got it all working. Still no DX9 and I've just noticed I've not included the .NET Framework. It's rough, but it seems to work. Gonna do a clean '98 install now and try it from there.

If anyone has any idea how to make DX9b install silently with no reboot in Win98, let me know!! :D

Here's the .bat.

That shows his batch file and the names of all the patches, I think a Google search should find you all of them. :) And last he said, it was working... :) As seen here:

I assume since he never posted back, it worked. lol

FlishFun thanx for batch I think its possible to find all those files and download them for offline use, but what about this Internet Explorer 6 files? As I know it consists only from small Setup file that connects to Internet and download bunch of .cab's

Do you have a list of those files needed for installing default IE6?

How do I download and install a complete version of Internet Explorer with Service Pack 1?

Service Pack 1 for Internet Explorer 6 can be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downlo...sp1/default.asp.

You can view the fixes in Service Pack 1 for Internet Explorer 6 at Q326489.

If you wish to download the complete IE6 with integrated SP1, to apply to IE 4.0 - IE 6.0:

1. Create a Folder, C:\IE6SP1, on the download computer and possibly create a distribution share.

2. Download Service Pack 1 to C:\IE6SP1.

3. Run "C:\ie6SP1\ie6setup.exe" /c:"ie6wzd.exe /d /s:""#E"

4. Select all the appropriate operating systems that you require.

When you are finished, a client can install IE 6.0, integrated with SP1, by running IE6setup.exe from the c:\ie6SP1 folder.

Use that, then his batch says: IE6\ie6setup /q:a /r:n

    • Would be good to see Google also being forced to do the same. No promotion of Chrome on Google search. Stop installing into the app data of a locked down machine, etc

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough" by Usama Jawad We have seen Microsoft resort to questionable tactics in the past to get more customers to use Edge, such as "bribing" people to use Edge, testing new behavior so that Edge loads automatically on startup every time, and pressuring OEMs to exclusively bundle Edge in Windows PCs. However, the company often receives pushback not only from customers but also from the Browser Choice Alliance (BCA). Now, the collective has penned an open letter to the Redmond tech firm to highlight its dissatisfaction with its practices. For those unaware, BCA is a coalition that touts several browser vendors as its members, including Google Chrome, Midori, Opera, Vivaldi, BrowserWorks, and Wavebox. Its latest open letter to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella emphasizes that "enough is enough" and that user choice on Windows should be respected. It claimed that the company is abusing its dominant position in the PC space to push customers to its first-party browser, even if they don't want to use it. To do this, it resorts to shady tactics, some of which we highlighted at the start of this piece. It says that Microsoft is making it very difficult for users to set their preferred browser across all touchpoints. This is problematic as PCs are becoming even more prevalent in the AI era, so user choice is being restricted across even more devices, further frustrating users (and competing browser vendors). As such, BCA has urged Microsoft to take the following actions to level the playing field: Allow browser suppliers to compete for preinstallation and default deals with Windows PC manufacturers End dark patterns targeted at users seeking to download and effectively use other browsers (including as system-level default) Bring back the ability for users to make switching default browsers simple and transparent with a “single click” change for all relevant file types and apps (including PDFs) Open all web links in the users’ selected system-level browser of choice Eliminate manipulative Microsoft-exclusive banners pushing Edge in Windows, including when users are searching for other browsers Stop using operating system updates to push users back to Edge Remove the restrictive configurations of existing S mode devices that block the usage of third-party browsers. It believes that all browsers should compete on merit, as this will drive innovation and healthy competition. Despite its strong wording and publication of the letter openly, it's unclear if Microsoft will pay any heed to the BCA and if this will result in any tangible downstream benefits. We'll likely find out in due time.
