- ProductType = "101"

Note the spaces around " A " rather than the "A" you mention.

Eureka!

Changing the SubVersionNumber to " A " instead of "B" or "A" did the trick!

Of course, I now find the security application is incompatible with my
USB 2.0 CardBus adapter, but it works fine when I instead use the
built-in USB 1.1 port. But that is a known issue with the application,
so I can't complain (although I will, of course :-).

Thanks for your information, Alan. I knew that it would turn out to be
as simple as that.

For completeness and in case it ever becomes relevant, could someone who
has Win98SE with the Security Updates CD installed let me know whether
the updated SubVersionNumber is "B" or " B "? Thanks.
