Windows 98 to 98SE

[fangs2000]

I accidentaly ran windows 98 setup on my windows 98SE using and old windows 98 CD.

I need to be able to reinstall windows 98 SE over the older version, but I am being told I need an upgrade version. I have tried installing it in both windows and MS-Dos.

Yea, you would need the SE upgrade disk. It's been a while since I have seen one of these. But I am almost 100% certain that this is what you need.

I'm surprised it Installed 98, It should have given you the error that it was an Older version of what you already have installed

What are you trying to accomplish in Win 98SE that you can't do in the older version?
Are you installing something and getting errors?
