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

    • BATorrent 3.0.3 is out.
    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
