Cannot install Win98
I tried to install Win 98 SE ver2 over my original Win98.
In Windows and install, it says error SU0168, another operating system installed, I renamed Setupx.dll and .w95 to old, but cannot recuperate setupx from my Win 98 CD, the file is not there.
I tried to re-install from DOS, it says that the memory is at 442368, on chkdsk it reports 397216, How do I recuperate 50000 ?? in my autoexec.bat and Config.sys I only have MSCDEX.
How can I recuperate setupx.dll ??
I urgently need an answer

talks about your error message as well as many references within the MS KNowledge Base,but will forego sending more, unless more is needed.

Do you have a win98 boot disk that came with your cd-rom. If so I'd back up everything that you want to keep on C:, then do a format and fresh install. I have the OEM version of SE and it won't upgrade either.

chewymon : sorry this did'nt work out, same answer as above.
How about feeinf memory to install from DOS ?? it seem to be the easyest way but how ?? Jacques
Have you tried System File Checker?

astaec :Tried your suggestion, still don't work, I still lack memory in DOS mode, I now read 411,760 and need 442,368. In Window mode I still get the same error.I found out that my new version of windows is an OEM version.
I am getting ready to throw it to the garbage...any other idea ? Jacques

Do you have a DOS subdirectory. I had to delete DOS and rename win.com last week on a win95 upgrade.
jacrous, you can use an OEM versiont to do an upgrade, but it is a pain in the butt. The safest way would be to do a fresh install.

Yep. deltree windows and reinstall gets rid of a lot of junk.

mzehner:Your answer is the one that worked for me, was trying to do an impossible task. Thanks a lot to you all that responded and keep the good work. Jacques
BTW, you can do it by just renaming win.com, but you will likely get version conflict error messages on boot after you install. It will work, but may have problems down the road. Of course you could use the Version Conflict Manager afterwards. Your choice.
