This program requires Microsoft Windows. [boot diskette] [cd rom drivers]
Q: WTF, its been a long time since I had to format the game. The boot disk included with win98 is damaged so I made a boot disk win98 another machine, did a format c: / s, rebooted, chose option 1 (install CD-ROM drivers), insert win98 cd, f: setup, “This program requires Microsoft Windows.” What is this?
Re:Never mind. I was using the Win98se cd instead of the Win98. Sorry about that.
Thanks for your help.
Re:I did copy it to the hard drive. Same results.
I have the full version. So, when I first installed my old Win95 and then tried to upgrade to Win98, it said that I must have the upgrade version.
Re:You may have an upgrade version. I am not sure but that would be a logical requirement for an upgrade version.
Re:I don't think it would make any difference, but copy the "Win98" folder
to your Hard drive first. I usually just run the setup.exe file in that folder.
Re:I already tried that. f:\cd win98 setup "This program requires Microsoft Windows."
Re:"This program requires Microsoft Windows." What's with this???
It means, you are trying to run a windows program in DOS. navigate to the "win98" folder ("CD win98" at the f:\ prompt) and run setup from there, that should be the DOS setup utility. I'd make sure you load smartdrv before the install or it'll take some time.
