Re: Error message in Windows 98 Second Edition

UnRegMp2.exe is part of WMP9. And it sounds like it is the .inf that does the install of it & possibly the uninstall too...
UnRegMp2.exe

But I think it more likely is MSVCRT.DLL that is at fault. Here is what I usually post for it...
I find (in Win98SE) MSVCRT.DLL is in WIN98_63.CAB. It is also in
SETUPW95.CAB, which is an IE5.5 & IE6 SP1 .cab.
MSVCRT.DLL
Desc: Microsoft (R) C Runtime Library
Loc: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
Size: 278,581 bytes
Mod: Thursday, April 06, 2000 08:10:40 PM
Ver: 6.00.8797.0
That is what mine looks like in Win98SE; apparently, it has been updated
by something beyond the Win98 .cabs (v.6.00.8397.0) & beyond the IE6
SP1 .cabs (v.6.00.8397.0)-- by likely one of the IE cumulative updates.
I GUESS begin with an Extract from your more easily accessible Win98
..cabs. After that, look to update it by over-installing IE. OR, maybe begin with the over-install of IE-- I have instructions for that too, if you want.
Here is how to do it in DOS...
(a) DIR /s /a C:\MSVCRT.DLL
Will say whether you have it, & where it is. Should be in
"C:\Windows\System", thus...
C:\>DIR /s /a C:\MSVCRT.DLL
Directory of C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
MSVCRT DLL 278,581 04-06-00 8:10p MSVCRT.DLL
1 file(s) 278,581 bytes
(b)
"EXTRACT /a /L C:\Windows\System <LOC>\Base4.cab MSVCRT.dll"
That is all one line between the quotes with 5 spaces, but do not enter
the quotes. It will offer to overwite, if one is already there.
<LOC> is the location of "Base4.cab". This may be discovered as
follows...
C:\>DIR /s /a C:\base4.cab
Directory of C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS
BASE4 CAB 168,960 04-23-99 10:22p BASE4.CAB
1 file(s) 168,960 bytes
If you have the .cabs on a CD, you will use your CD-ROM drive letter,
instead of "C:\" in that DIR command. And probably it will find it to be
located in... "X:\Win98"... where "X:\" is the CD-ROM letter.
So, in my case, the command is...
"EXTRACT /a /L C:\Windows\System C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS\Base4.cab
MSVCRT.dll"
All one line: no quotes: there are 5 spaces in the line, including one
after "Base4.cab".
