Unfortunately, Windows 98 is no longer supported. You may be able to get it working by installing Internet Explorer 7 and the latest DirectX and video card drivers, but I really doubt it. You need to update your operating system to something not made 17 years ago.

Runs on Win98/2000/XP/Vista/7/8 | |
It can run, doesn't mean it will run.

ok, i will test if maker and daemon works.
| |
Why.. Are you still using Windows 98? Great OS, but only 'slightly' outdated.
| |
just testing it on a virtual machine :)
(Really I have Win 7 Home Basic) | |
not working, i get the same error :(
| |
No point supporting this because pretty soon we'll be on our new VS2013 build and that only supports XP SP3 or greater.
| |
Yeah, VS2013 definitely only works on Windows XP or greater (using Windows XP toolset). Might be worth mentioning on the download page once the new version becomes stable.
I only have been using Windows 98 (through a Virtual Machine or even through certain builds of DOSBox) for older programs anyhow that did not function even on Windows XP. | |
I'd honestly suggest just drop anything below XP as officially not supported, and only support XP SP3+. There's a point when trying to support that far back is just unreasonable.
