Once all remove, add this at the end of the vmx file Remove any line with pciBridgeN, where N is a number. With the vmx file closed, edit the vmx with the following. Create VM using 16.2 hardware compatibly, 64mb ram, remove USB controller, network card not connected at power on - all other settings standard.Įdit VMX, and remove pciBridgeN lines, where N is a number.Windows 98 SE vmWare Workstation 16.2 Quick Guide Download sound driver from here, switch drop down menu to required os.Use imgBurn to make a iso that is ISO 9660 compliant, with the files in the zip. (aka bhdd31.iso).I got it working finally.Ĭreopard, thanks for the fixed link, but unf the iso is corrupt, boo. Just need to find the ESDI_506.PDR file now, the link has the file, but wont download for some reason 🤷 Using hardware config 16.2x, 64mb Ram, usb removed, virtualise intel vt checked/ticked, disable memory page trimming checked/ticked. Test and working with the link mentioned by able to install Win98 and get passed the error, to complete the install.Īt the explorer.exe/shell error, shutdown > boot safe mode > disable 32 protected something. (It's also still entirely possible that we're simply hosed due to a CPU quirk. but with your help there is still a chance (OK, maybe a tiny chance.) that I might be able to guide you towards some sort of a solution to get you going with a more modern version of Workstation. I'm not going to push you to mess around with this any further. If you're simply OK with staying at an earlier version of Workstation (where I guess our Binary Translation engine – absent from newer releases – is saving you from a physical CPU quirk), that's fine.
as long as I get all the "Details" from one failure.)
If you are getting the same sort of "program has performed an illegal operation" error as ILikeOldWin showed in the first post of this thread, could you perhaps screenshot the error message and then scroll the Details> window and screenshot it again so that I can see all of the contents of that details pane? (I forget whether that window is resizeable, but if so, that might be another option. so my thoughts are now tending towards it being a different problem entirely. The other interesting thing is that the Wikipedia page section for Virtual 8086 mode enhancements (VME) mentions the VME erratum in the Ryzen CPUs and says it is fixed in the 2000 series, but yours is a 2000 series CPU (and ILikeOldWin's is a 3000 series CPU). either it is a different problem entirely from the WinXP issue mentioned in the other thread, or Win98 is not checking the VME bit. It shows that we are correctly masking the VME bit, but unfortunately that is not enough to get Win98 working.
