~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The 0x801901F4 error(s) means that the update(s) failed to download AND
install.

IIRC only older versions of Zone Alarm firewall will work properly in Win98,
Jim. If you're NOT running Zone Alarm v6.1.744.1, uninstall it now. [If
you're connecting to the DSL modem via a router, the router alone should
provide adequate protection for the Win98 box. Others here are sure to
disagree with me but so be it.]

Moving on...

[You will want to print or copy/paste the following instructions into
Notepad for offline reference.]

1. AFAIK, no currently supported version of SpySweeper's supported in Win98.
Assuming you've not purchased SpySweeper (or if you don't get if "free" from
your ISP or MSN), please (a) disable all SpySweeper Guards (protections)
then (b) uninstall it.

2. Very briefly & temporarily, disable ZA firewall (if still installed)
*and* all SpySweeper Guards (if still installed) *and* Avast *and*
physically disconnect the machine from the internet. Don't reconnect until
Step #4 below!

3a. Now overinstall IE6 SP1 per my previous reply to this thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.win98.internet.windows_update/msg/c2441e1a72a2d39b

3b. After rebooting, repeat Step #2 above!!

4. Now reconnect to the internet and go to Windows Update and try again.
Follow all prompts.

NB: Don't do ANYTHING else online until Avast has been re-enabled and (if
you don't connect via a router) until ZA (v6.1.744.1 or earlier) has been
re-enabled!!

Re: q823559

Re: q823559

OK, I tried this approach and on the ie6setup.exe the minimal and the prompt
at the end of the install secession states [radio button] all these
components are already installed do you want to exit and the other [radio]
asks if the you want to install all components. So I just chose next>next>on
out. Is that the correct way?
Then I went to win update and tried again and the log in %windir% looks ok.
Here is part of the logging and no apparent errors:

Re: q823559

Re: q823559

OK, next I tried the reinstall of ie6setup with [radio button] reinstall all
components (which is not a minimal) and went thru the whole approach again.
Here I had 3 critical updates to install with a reboot at the end. This is
the log of win update on this machine which appears to be successful.

I will check at Windows Update scan to see if this still triggers the
update.

[Well, I'm certainly glad I hadn't sent my reply to your last post yet! As
it looks like you intend to make another post to this thread soon, I think
I'll reserve my comments for now...other than to confirm that KB313829,
KB837009, and KB823559 appear to have installed successfully this time
around.]

Yep, looks like you got 3 of them that time. I hope that solves it & you
will not be offered any of them (especially 823559) again. But, if so,
here are a few things to check...

(1) Try to uninstall it FIRST, at "Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs,
Install/Uninstall tab". It looks like this: "Windows 98 Q823559 Update".
Now, go to Windows Update, and see whether it will come in well-- & just
once.

(2) What are your versions of these files...?...
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=kb;en-us;823559
....Quote.. Win98 files...
Date Time Version Size File name
------------------------------------------------------------------------
27-Jun-2003 02:19 2003.1100.5426 311,864 Html32.cnv
27-Jun-2003 02:19 2003.1100.5426 116,288 Msconv97.dll
....End quote.....

START button, Find, F/F, "Html32.cnv, Msconv97.dll".
(No quotes, yes comma). R-Clk, & select Properties.

I suppose you DID get the update, if your files look like that.

What about this Registry key...?...

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed
Components\{2806b4d1-cadf-4568-99df-1c8836a6b4bc}]
@="Windows 98 Q823559 Update"
"IsInstalled"=dword:00000001
"Locale"="EN"
"Version"="4.10.0.2222"

To see it...
(a) "START button, Run, Regedit"
(b) Click plus signs, beginning at "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE",
& ending with....................... "Installed Components".
(c) Click "{2806b4d1-cadf-4568-99df-1c8836a6b4bc}" in the left pane.
(d) Look in the right pane. What do you see?

And this one, which puts it into the left pane at...
"START button, Run, MSInfo32, Software Environment, Software Updates,
W98.SE"...?...

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\Upda
tes\W98.SE\UPDQ823559]
@="Windows 98 Q823559 Update"
"C:\\PROGRA~1\\COMMON~1\\Micros~1\\TextConv\\html32.cnv"="2003.1100.5426
..0"
"C:\\PROGRA~1\\COMMON~1\\Micros~1\\TextConv\\msconv97.dll"="2003.1100.54
26.0"

Finally, there is this Registry key, which puts it in Add/Remove...

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\
Q823559]
@=""
"DisplayName"="Windows 98 Q823559 Update"

PCR, please let's get Jim settled before asking him to do anything else.
Once I'm convinced that everything's OK, feel free to jump in. Thanks,

Re: q823559

Re: q823559

I'll assume that's it for now, Jim.

Everything looks just fine now but I have a few question & comments.

============================

PLEASE CONFIRM that you completed Step #1, #2, #3a and #3b in my previous
reply (02 October) before you did Step #4.

> OK, I turn on the FW-ZA and for the moment a v.9 active shield for McAfee.

What version of ZoneAlarm is installed? Does the Win98 machine connect via
a router or directly to the DSL modem?

Yesterday you'd told us that you were running Avast Anti-Virus, now you cite
McAfee VirusScan. What's up with that? Do you have both Avast and
VirusScan installed?

VirusScan 9 is a few years old (e.g., 3 or 4, I believe): Are you sure it's
VirusScan 9? If so, is your subscription current?

Yes, I did that exact sequence 1,2,3a,3b,4

I just have McAfee shield on because it will come up quickly, whereas Avast

Re: q823559

Re: q823559

Your replies are worthless to most of us if you don't quote the entire post
to which you're replying, Jim.

You cannot and should not have two (2) anti-virus installed and loading at
boot.

=> If your VirusScan subscription is not current:

1. Uninstall McAfee VirusScan (or whatever the McAfee application is) via
Add/Remove Programs;

2. Download & run this removal tool:
http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=107083&lc=1033; and...

3. Reboot.

=> If your VirusScan subscription is current:

1. Uninstall Avast; and...

2. Reboot.

With only one (1) anti-virus application installed now, if you encounter ANY
further Windows Update problems whatsoever, disable ZoneAlarm.

However, since (1) your Win98 machine is now fully patched and since (2) no
updates have been released for Win98 since June 2006 and since (3) no more
Win98 updates will ever be released as support for Win98 ended on 10 July
2006, you really don't have to worry about it anymore.

I now consider this case closed. If PCR or anyone else wants to "play" now,
be my guest...

=> But please do NOT crosspost any further replies to Windows Update
newsgroup. Thanks.

Re: q823559

Re: q823559

That program, critical update, is still stating that the update is not
installed. I think you [PCR] may have exposed why this is happening. The
regedit key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\Updates\W
98.SE\UPDQ823559

This should be in Win98 updates not Win98 SE updates. The Citical Update
program most likely reads the msinfo32 log first. It does not see this in
Win98 updates and ignores it in Win98 SE updates. Understand?

I see elsewhere you said you have all the registry keys I posted, which

file versions as they appear in the files themselves in Explorer
properties...?...

27-Jun-2003 02:19 2003.1100.5426 116,288 Msconv97.dll

all we really want is for Windows Update to stop offering it. And are
the files both located in...?...

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\TEXTCONV

You may also have a copy of each in C:\Windows\Options\Cabs (or
equivalent) as I do. But they should be nowhere else-- are they? If so,
what versions?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\Updat
es\W
| 98.SE\UPDQ823559

That can't be the problem because Q823559 isn't constantly offered to
me. They've never been offered more than once to me. What do you see for
those files in...?...

"START button, Run, QFECheck, W98.SE, UPDQ823559"

Is it showing the correct versions? Too bad the fact you have that
"IsInstalled" key set right isn't the end of this! But Terhune once said
there's no telling what Windows Update is looking for in these matters!

Yes, I think I see the problem there. The QFEcheck states Invalid. It is
seeing version difference. Should be,

Interesting. How could everything look so good in your Windows Update
log & in your registry-- & YET you have older files!?! But that sounds
like it could be the problem all right. I'm still trying to think,
but...

(1) What folder are Html32.cnv & Msconv97.dll in?
Normally, they'd be in...
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\TEXTCONV

(2) Are they located anywhere else too;
if so, what versions are they?

(3) Do you have 823559UN.INF, & where is it?
Should be in C:\WINDOWS\INF\QFE\W98.SE.
Here is mine, just for comparitive purposes...
