How to determine if 98 is upgrade or not?
To add to that...Why would system information use the word "upgrade", my
assumtion that it was an upgrade was based on that? Relook at the system information I posted if your in doubt. It's exactly as stated, give or take a few x's. "needlove" wrote in message ... thanks...theorhetically one could buy a win98 upgrade cd and have all the files needed when win98 asks for the cd to add files/software like "accessibility"? Even if the licenses are different? "Alan Edwards" wrote in message ... I assume different. As you have an OEM install, I deem it unlikely that it could be an upgrade over Win95, but what does it matter? The same system files exist in an upgrade CD as in a full CD, though OEMs may vary that. ...Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP Windows - Internet Explorer http://dts-l.org/index.htm On Thu, 8 Nov 2007 12:38:39 -0700, in microsoft.public.win98.performance, "needlove" wrote: System information reports: MS Windows 4.10.1998; Upgrade using full OEM CD /T:C:\WININSTO.400 /SrcDir=D:\WIN98 /IZ /IS /IQ /IT /II /NR /II /C /U:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I assume this means windows 95 was upgraded using a full version of windows 98? |

How to determine if 98 is upgrade or not?
I have no idea; however, there is no such thing as an OEM upgrade CD. OEM
CDs are full installation CDs for computers that do not have a Windows operating system. There is a trick http://home.satx.rr.com/badour/html/upgrade.html that can be used where an OEM CD can be used for an upgrade installation; however, I don't believe that would account for the verbiage you provided. -- Regards Ron Badour MS MVP 1997 - 2008 "needlove" wrote in message . ..
