Re: [LegacyUG] Win 98 SE install problem
Thanks for the suggestion Adrian. From what I can see, everything is there. Version is 4.10.B But I seem to have found an install process. I did get it installed, but I don't know what was missed in the process. This is what I have done: On each installation attempt, I saw some unknown programs in Task Manager. They all had the format gl???nnn and nothing else. So, now Iam thhinking, maybe they are part of the install process? So, while the configuration was hung, I closed these four programs, one at a time to see the result, starting with the highest number to the lowest. So I killed gl???131, waited, closed gl???130, and then gl???02, and finally gl???01. When the last one closed, I was surprised to see the Legacy Installion Complete window come up! Great! Legacy 8.501 is installed. I then imported a FTM GED file and everything seems to be working corectly. I don't know what those four programs were supposed to do, but for now I will just have to watch and see what happens. From a tech perspective, I would really like to understand what was going on (or not going on). Thanks for listening. = On Jul 29, 2015, at 20:50, Adrian Purkiss wrote: > Do you have all service packs for Windows 98 installed. I believe there were > 3.

Re: [LegacyUG] Win 98 SE install problem
Do you have all service packs for Windows 98 installed. I believe there were 3. This is stated as a requirement for Legacy 8. It might well be the SP's have an upgrade to installation procedures.

[LegacyUG] Win 98 SE install problem
Yes, it MUST hbe on this Win 98 SE system. So changing pc or os is not an option. Tried to install Legacy 8 and cannot complete the installl. System hangs at the end while "updating system configuration". Tried the latest version (501), and three earlier versions. Don't have the first version of 8, but suspect it would also hang. I have done removals each time, needed to do manually, including registry, because Uninstall could not access the uninstall files. Have run Scandisk,no problems. Have run SFC, Had to replace one file. Ran SFC again, no problems. No Av, no firewall to cause problem. No version of Access/Office installed. Any idea what might be causing this to hang? Version 7.5 installs withno trouble. I did notice that I was not prompted for a password when installing 8, but did need it with 7. Is there an install log somewhere that I can look at? (Googling win 98 SE and legacy brings up everything about old legacy programs, cannot filter to just see Millenia Legacy). I am sure someone has the answer, so, thanks in advance.
