Yes, I did not see the original post.

Look people - don't do stupid things like post win-98 questions to ONLY
a win-XP newsgroup.

Right Casey?

Unfortunately, as Paul points out, 98 - though no longer available,
to a first approximation - is still Microsoft's property, so _not_
abandonware; thus the site you found, as well as the tenth
anniversary edition and other similar, are _not_ legal.

Microsoft is a criminal organization. They have been found guilty of
violating various business laws and practices around the world over the
years. So I have no problems posting links to their software, telling
people how to get old copies of their software, etc.

In this case, what you are looking for is he

The file was once called AutoPatcher98.Dec07.Final.exe, but is now
called AP2007.EXE and can be downloaded from he

http://www.mdgx.com/spx/AP2007.EXE

There was an update to that file (Dec. 2008) which is he

There never was anything called the "Windows 98 10'th anniversary
edition". This AutoPatcher98 is what you're looking for - it was
originally started by an MSFN user named Soporific back in August 2006.

Autopatcher was superceeded by the "Unofficial Windows 98 Second Edition
Service Pack 3.33" created (or currently maintained and periodically
updated) by MSFN user "ProblemChild":

That is now the recommended way to take a new install of win-98se and
give it all the various enhancements, updates, patches and fixes ever
made from Micro$oft and then taken further with files made or modified
by others.

If you've ever wanted to get your hands on that software, now is your

Backoffice - dozens if not hundreds of CD's from at least 10 binders
full of MSDN material.
