There is no Win98 installer (yet) for WiRNS 3.x

Read Henry's explanation on the AVS forum:

http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=20727680#post20727680

"You could do two things, one, yourself, install WiRNS 3 on
something higher than Win '98 and copy the files over the Win '98
install (which is basically what I did). Or, I could send you a
WiRNSMon.exe for WiRNS 3 which would upgrade WiRNS 2 to WiRNS 3.
For now, we're planning on supporting WiRNS 3 on Win '98 via ZIP
file unless there's enough interest. That is, it's going to be on
a case by case basis. So, if there's any way that you can get
WiRNS 3 installed on something, then you can use that to upgrade
your Win '98 machine from WiRNS 2 to WiRNS 3. Otherwise, it's
going to be a manual thing that I or Glenn send you something..."

And later by another poster:

"I just d/l'ed 'WiRNS 3.zip' and 'WiRNSMon.exe' from the
wirns.com /Download directory. WiRNSMon is the same version,
3.0.4217.23741, fromGlenn1963's LINK on 07/19/11. Looks like I'm
all set."

WiRNS 3.0 runs just fine on 'just' an XP machine. ;)
