Upgarding with OEM version
The menace
Can anyone tell me how to use the final OEM version of WinME to upgrade my
win98. It tells me that it is only for new computers.
I can remember that when win98 came out there was several fixes.

Your computer already has an operating system installed
which cannot be upgraded by this version of Setup. Please
obtain the Windows Millennium Edition Upgrade.
This error can occur when you are attempting to install an
OEM version of Windows Me over a previous version of Windows.
-or-
A program has installed an OEM version of SetupX.dll that
makes it appear that your current version of Windows is the
OEM version.
If you suspect this is the case, replace SetupX.dll with the
correct version from your current install media by carrying
out the following steps:
1. Place your Windows 95 or Windows 98 CD in your CD-ROM
drive.
2. From a command prompt, change to your CD-ROM drive letter.
3. Type "Extract /a base4.cab SetupX.dll /l c:\".
4. Copy the SetupX.dll from your C: to your Windows\System
directory.
5. Run Windows Millennium Edition Setup again.
