Re: Is WU supposed to be working for Win98 now?

I've only been try WU, not expecting MU to really work.

However, note the screen shot in my previous message: Win98's WU is routing
me to *v6*, not v4. Why it's doing that I don't know. Is there a way to
force going to v4? Perhaps the reason the control I'm being offered with WU
v6 doesn't work is that it's not for W98. Has MS crossed something up with
their servers?

Oh, and is "Microsoft Update" supposed to be usable on Win98?

No, Microsoft Update only supports WinXP, Win2K SP4 and Win2K03, so that's
probably why you're not able to install the Active X Control: Win98
continues to use the V4 update engine, while WinXP, Win2K and Win2K03 use
the V6 engine to reach Windows Update /and/ Microsoft Update.

Once again: To keep track of things, it helps immensely if you quote all
of previous message(s) in your replies to the newsgroup. Thank you.

Pre-support cutoff date updates only, of course.

Or is WU just not accessible at all?

With the 0x8ddd0004 error I'm seeing in WU -- for which I've tried every
single thing ever published online to solve -- it's hard to tell, as
today
is the first time I've tried it in the last couple months.

Oh, and is "Microsoft Update" supposed to be usable on Win98? That I've
never tried before today, so again, it's hard to tell. The furthest I get
with it is the message about installing the ActiveX control -- by
clicking
on IE SP2's Information Bar, which, of course, doesn't exist in Win98's
IE
SP1.
