Default Unable to Install Driver

You say that when you point the Dev Man | Unknown Device at the folder
containing rt25u98.inf that the driver wizard doesn't recognise the file.
Are you saying that the driver install fails at this point or are you able
to move to the next step and the install fails there? Normally the "wizard"
allows one to continue once it is pointed at a folder containing an inf
file. If you haven't already done so, it might be a good idea to clear out
any remnants of your previous failed installations and then try again.

Which version of the driver are you using? v2.1.1.15 dated 12 Feb 2009?
FYI I have just downloaded the v2.1.1.15 driver package from the Ralink site
and installed it (using the downloaded exe file) without any problem on a
Win Me system here although it should be noted that I don't have a usb wi-fi
card with a Ralink 2500 chipset. Have you tried installing the driver
_without_ the usb device present and only plugging in the wi-fi device when
the installation is complete? Incidentally my installation (which was the
"full" installation using the exe rather than just the driver) installed
aegise2.dll to the Program Files\Ralink\RT7x Wireless LAN Card\Aegis folder
and gave no message about being unable to locate the file.

Any chance that after FIVE posts you might actually name the make and model
of the device? At least I now know that it apparently uses the Ralink 2500
chipset but knowing the manufacturer and model would be of considerable help
and might help establish why you are having problems.

Yes; the ONE 'inf' file is rt25u98.inf;

I presume 98 refers to Windows98 which in my case is WindowsME, the
file perhaps common to both '98 and'ME.Otherwise the WinME inf file
has not loaded!
