At this point, if you wanted to install VMware Tools, you have to copy the files from the VMware Tools CD to the C drive (because any application at this point would refuse to run off a CD), then install normally.Įverything actually works now in the 98 SE VM, except sound and drag and drop files.
You'll then be greeted with the Welcome application and the desktop.It'll reboot again, and if you see any VXD or DLL errors, just press any key or click skip.This time, however, you have to uncheck the Disable all 32-bit protected mode disk drivers checkbox. Once the second stage setup finishes and reboots, boot back into Safe Mode again, then follow steps 3 and 4 again.You'll then just continue normally with the second stage of setup. Once the desktop loads, right click on the My Computer icon, go to Performance > File System > Troubleshooting, then check the Disable all 32-bit protected mode disk drivers box.Once the first stage of setup finishes and reboots however, you have to boot into Safe Mode.
So I got Windows 98 to run on a Tiger Lake CPU.
