problem installing Win98 SE
Hi,
I downloaded window98 SE from MSDN subscription and I'm trying to install it on my newly formated hard drive from DOS, but with no success; When I type "setup" or "win98\setup" or ..... I keep getting the error: "bad command" or "This command cannot run in DOS mode" I used the command "Dir" to make sure that I'm pointing to the right drive, and I can see all files that the CD contains including the setup file. if I try to use the window98 CD (the one that originally was installed before formatting) everything goes ok and the installation process start. is there anything specific about the version I downloaded from MSDN, that I cannot install it from DOS ??? thanks for help |

problem installing Win98 SE
I think Roberto is probably right and if so, you can go ahead and install
W98 and then update it to SE. Or, look for another version of SE on MSDN. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "zino" wrote in message ...

problem installing Win98 SE
you're right,
The version I downloaded from MSDN is an update version and it need win98 to be installed first in order to run. but the funny thing is that I contacted MSDN and they assured me that this is a full version and not an update ! ! ! ! ! . . . . thanks for your help |
