That would be 120+ Updates and Hotfixes (which are unknown until the author

gets around to making a list.) Other items are marked Optional, and that is

good, but en masse installation of 120+ patches including whatever some

stranger decides are good for Win98, with no chance of uninstalling

successfully...

 

Nope, that doesn't even pass the smell test. FAILED!

Re: How do you update Windows 98?

 

In the same manner that nothing I penned was at the

time of composition intended to provide any manner

of "hint", a corpse discovered at the scene of a murder

isn't left there or meant as a clue. But it could hardly

be either missed by a competent investigator, or the

concept itself more demonstrably lost on someone

of your tragically inadequate talents (which you've

risibly donned as some misguided badge of honor).

Re: How do you update Windows 98?

 

Kindly point out where I've claimed that ALL patches and

ALL updates are seperately installable and uninstallable.

 

By your own admission, a user can choose to install (and

again, by your own earlier admission, components can be

selected for uninstallation) or not install a module. So just

which is it, as I've earlier addressed, given your many

thoroughly failed, unconvincing deceits, (or are they simply

errors) you're an obtuse incompetent or a pathological liar,

and which do you deem constitutes the better excuse?

Re: How do you update Windows 98?

 

Hey, I know you're a liar. That's an easy one. That being established, none

of that other crap matters.

 

I take "people" at "face value" in this NG. It's what you write, not who you

are. If you want to wear a mask, that's your that's YOUR game, not mine.

Frankly, it doesn't matter if you're Thanatoid, 98 Guy, or some other troll,

or ANYONE else, for that matter. Based upon your writings, you are a lying

weasel. 'Nuff said.

No, the user can choose "modules" to install, some (the most important) of

which contain hundreds of components that are installed on an all-or-nothing

basis. Only certain components can be unnistalled from Add/Remove Progrrams,

and I suppose I could go digging and figure out how to uninstall a few

others, but the major modules containing Updates, HotFixes, and Unofficial

stuff of all kinds are uninstallable for the most part.

 

I don't recall "admitting" that the app could uninstall anything, only that

I'd heard someone else claim it was so, and that I highly doubted it. Having

actually used the POS, and after further reading, I realize that it includes

no functions to uninstall anything. At least, its literature and menus make

no mention of the possibility.

 

So, having actually used the steaming heap, I can only reaffirm that it

truly is a dangerous abortion that only a fool would use and only an a**hole

would recommend. I can also affirm that you're a lying weasel.

 

Now, time to go flatten that machine and get it back to normal.
