I DLed to the Desktop and the DL Basket placed these in a folder called
"Wu". How do I get these into the right place on win98se?

All you have done is downloaded them, and you could have downloaded them to any
folder you want. You have to run each one to install each. They can be stored
wherever you like after that.

Thanks Glen. I have 3 critical updates that do not trigger on the windows
update scan but are listed as either invalid or not found files in the qfe
check. Should I worry about this? Today I uninstalled 1 then reinstalled it
and the same response in those 2 types of check.

@glee: See Jim's earlier thread (where AFAIK we'd gotten him all sorted):

Here is the underlying problem of any DL; If the QFEcheck has critical
updates that are invalid then the version number does not match. Does this
mean that the update is not functioning. Some have file not found. This
could mean that the object that it relates to has been removed or is no
longer supported software; like webTV related updates. Also it could mean a
DL error. Lastly and most important, none currently show up as problem in
Windows Update Scan.

As I've said repeatedly in your original thread, if a CUSTOM scan Windows
Update doesn't offer the machine any updates, you're OK. And if such is the
case, you don't need to revisit Windows Update again unless you reinstall
Win98 since no other updates will ever be released for Win98.

I tend to agree with PA Bear, that if Windows Update auto-scan reports
"There are no critical updates available at this time", you are as good
as it can get you.

HOWEVER, name the 3 anomalies you see in QFECheck for inspection. Name
both the update number & the specific problem it reports including the
file name.

Is one of them "QFECheck, W98, UPD908519", & is it saying t2embed.dll is
missing? That's an error in KB908519.inf. The .inf PUTS the file into
C:\Windows\System (which is %11%), BUT it instructs QFECheck to look for
it in C:\Windows (%10%)...

.....Quote KB908519.inf.........
;qfecheck
...snip...
HKLM,%UpdateKey%\%SPKey%\%LocaleID%%UpdID%,%10%\t2embed.dll,,"5.0.2195.7
073"
.....EOQ KB908519.inf.........

SO, change it in the registry...

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\Upda
tes\W98\UPD908519]
@="Windows 98 KB908519 Update"
"C:\\WINDOWS\\t2embed.dll"="5.0.2195.7073"

THAT needs to be changed (renamed) to...

C:\Windows\System\t2embed.dll

Do you know how to do it? It works! QFECheck looks good now for that
one!

I have 3 critical updates that show either invalid or file not found.
KB908519 is one of them. The others are q329115 ( I had to reinstall that
one years ago over and over again) and kb916547. I sort of see what you did,
it looks like you are just telling QFE check to take any value there and
negating the check process by leaving it blank...causing the check to remove
the flagged error. Is that correct?

Ok, I got that corrected. Ignore the other post it is not correct.
The other 2 critical updates were q329115 and kb918547. All others were like
webTV removed software so file not found.

I got q329115 corrected. The only 1 left is kb918547 and is "file not
found". I reinstalled it from the DL basket but still reads file not found.
Again it is most likely Ok since Windows Update scan does not trigger on
that or any critical updates now. So unless you all see something in this
Kb918547 that I do not, I will assume it is fully patched now. Thank-you.

For KB918547, the files of interest to QFECheck are...
KB918547.exe & Q918547.dll

Both of them belong in the folder...
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\KB918547

Are they there? If not, where are they?
The registry key that deals with them for this is...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\Updat

es\W98\UPD918547
(Default) "Windows 98 KB918547 Update"
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\KB918547\KB918547.EXE "4.10.0.2224"
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\KB918547\Q918547.dll "4.10.0.2224"

Does yours look exactly like that? If not, what does it look like?

IIRC, you may need to add "SYSTEM" or "KB918547" to your names in the
Registry to make it look like that. The folder mentioned in the Registry
must match the actual folder that holds the files. It's another .inf
problem! They got a bit sloppy with these latter day updates!

bINGO!
The \system\ was not in the registry name there.
Thank-you.

As you correctly 2nd-guessed, it meant to rename the registry key to
include "System", & to keep everything else the same...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\Upda
tes\W98\UPD908519
