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.

@echo off
echo Installing Internet Explorer 6...

echo.
start /wait .\updates\273017.EXE /Q:A /R:N
echo Installing Root Certificate Update...
echo.
start /wait .\updates\rootsupd.exe /Q:A /R:N
echo Complete.

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?

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

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.

      In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.

      Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.

      The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
