AOL download

On a clients desktop Compaq 5070 I noticed that her Windows Version was the very first(and ultra bug-prone) original Win98 from 1998. She is using AOL as her ISP.
Fine, so I went to Windows Update, and scrolling down I found a file to dowload which apparently is specific to Compaq for Win98 Upgrades.
Functioned the download.
Now I can't find it to activate. I looked under AOL/Downloads, not there to my knowledge. Any clues?
Note: I will not have access to her system again until late Sunday, so I cannot provide more detailed info if requested until then.

Thanks.

Some of my AOL customers used to download to the Desktop. It would help if you knew the name of the file, so you could do a Windows search for it.  It's been a long time since I used AOL, but as I recall, there was a menu option somewhere for Download Manager, which keeps track of the file names and locations for all downloads the customer does.  Try that.
Don't Microsoft Windows Updates usually automatically install themselves, rather than just download for your later install?  Are you sure that wasn't what happened?
