Links for Disk I:
Windows 95 OEM SR2 + Original Retail version

http://rapidgator.net/file/5c0f9c50b8c8eece23cdef340501a9c0/WINDOWS_95.part1.rar.html
http://rapidgator.net/file/5328edb687ab79983ebfea0583781f53/WINDOWS_95.part2.rar.html

These links will remain valid for 3 or 4 weeks after the date of the
last active download.

When downloading from Rapidgator, select "slow speed download", answer
the captcha,
wait 30 seconds, and you will be given a download link. You will only
be able to download 1
file at a time, and probably have to wait a few hours between downloads
unless you can change your IP address between downloads.

These files are 190 mb or less in size. You will need to download all
of them to have the complete archive file. You will need winrar (or
possibly winzip) to decompress this archive, which
will give you this file:

WINDOWS_95.ISO (308 mb)

You can burn that to a CD-R, or use a program like WinImage
(http://www.winimage.com/winimage.htm) to extract the files from the
ISO. Winrar can also extract the contents from the ISO image.

If this MSDN CD is no longer available at the above links or if you are
seeking the other MSDN CD's that were part of this series originally
posted at various times in 2014 that are no longer available, then post
a request to the usenet newsgroup microsoft.public.win-98.gen_discussion
to have the CD re-uploaded.

I've re-posted fresh upload links before, based on requests like yours,
but have never seen them used. So I'm not going to make the effort
unless you come back here and reply to this post telling me you really
want this.

Hello, 98 Guy. Could you please provide updated links to Platform SDK? I guess I need Disk B. By the way, do you have these SDK files extracted? I mean I'm looking for specific files - wincrypt.lib and its headers. Is it possible to check if this SDK has them? If not, please, update the link, I'll check it myself after downloading. Thanks is advance.

That CD does not have any wincrypt files.

I've dumped the directory listing of all files on that CD to a text file
that you can download from here:

http://www.filedropper.com/dir_1

If you think the wincrypt files are on one of the other Microsoft MSDN
CD's that I've listed here, let me know and I'll expand them and have a
look.

That CD does not have any wincrypt files.

I've dumped the directory listing of all files on that CD to a text file
that you can down load from here:

filedropper#com/dir_1

(replace # with . to get the correct URL)

Thanks for dumping the dir contents.

I'm not sure the files I'm looking for are from Platform SDK. I need the following files:
- wincrypt.lib
- WinHash.h
- WinKey.h
- WinSHA1.h
- WinDSA.h
- WinEncrypt.h
- winparsepkcs7.h
- winB64Decrypt.h

I just hope they might be the part of Platform SDK. Maybe some old version (dated 1997 or 1999)

I found wincrypt.h in Microsoft Platform SDK - July 2000 Edition. It's
563kb in size.

I don't see

wincrypt.lib
winhash.anything
winkey.anything
winsha
windsa
winparsepkcs
winB64Decrypt

Of the 8 MSDN CD's that I've expanded, there are:

1,829 .h files
30 .zip files
7 .msi files
380 .cab files
174 .lib files

I've dumped the directory contents of these MSDN CD's to a text file you
can grab from here:

www,filedropper,com/dir-all

I have binders of MSDN CD's that date from 1998 - 2003 (roughly) and
several years of TechNet CD's so if these files exist somewhere there's
a good chance I have them. I'll do more looking in the next few days.

If you think the files you are looking for are packed in a cab or msi
(etc) file, give me some idea where to look.

Hello, 98 guy. Thanks for your research. I'll try to contact a person who can probably let me know where I can find these files. If they are part of the staff you have, I'll let you know. Thanks again :)
