Rob,
This is directly from their web site for Crystal Reports 10:
Below are the minimum requirements your computer needs to install and
run Crystal Reports 10 and Crystal Enterprise 10. If your system does
not meet these requirements, the programs may not run correctly.
Crystal Reports
Operating system - Microsoft Windows XP, 2000 SP4, or above
Memory - 128 MB of RAM minimum, 256 MB of RAM recommended
Hard disk - 350 MB of available hard disk space recommended
Processor - Pentium II or higher
Crystal Enterprise
Operating system - Microsoft Windows XP, NT 4 SP6a, 2000 SP4, Windows
2003 Server
Web server - iPlanet Web Server Enterprise 6.0 and 7.0, Microsoft
Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0 and 6.0, Apache 1.3.20 and 2.0,
IBM HTTP 2.0, Lotus Domino 5.0.12 and 6.0.2
Memory - 512 MB or RAM
Hard disk - 2 GB of available hard disk space recommended
Processor - Pentium II or higher
Web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x and 6, Netscape Web Server
Enterprise 6.2 and 7.0, Safari 1.0 on OSx
They don't have it listed there. I don't have a 98 machine to test it on
either... But it would seem like it's not supported. Especially with the
error messages you are getting. I've seen that kind of behavior before
when trying to install software that doesn't support 98.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...
