Is it possible to install Windows 98 on 98 megabytes of hard drive space? It is, thanks to 98lite! Originally released in the late '90s, it allows you to minimize your Windows installation by getting rid of components that Microsoft doesn't let you remove.

If I recall correctly, an early version of 98lite was used as evidence during the Microsoft antitrust case to prove that Windows 98 could indeed run without Internet Explorer, despite Microsoft claiming that it was impossible.

@That guy with the brain. I remember working on controller PCs for older 6 axis machines that are still in use that I determined was running some flavor or 9x instead of NT. Heavily cut back not sure if it was this guys stuff or not. Had to just image the drive as backup and pray as nothing really worked except for the included application to control the machine.

Conceptually 98lite (and especially 98micro) was wonderful at least in theory. In practice, I found it to be a bit glitchy, so I stayed on Windows 95 and NT4 longer than most people at the time. This way, I could be truly free of any of IE's modifications to the shell.

Times like now I wish I still had my DX4 486 100MHz I had as a teenager in 2000 as my fastest computer running 98. Handled the 'net relatively well. Met my first girlfriend using mIRC (a seemingly impossible feat in hindsight). I remember using the Opera browser on it because it had tabbed browsing. I don't miss trying to get USB cards to work on it, or getting the Sound Blaster card to play nice at times, but it was just right given the circumstances.

This video is interesting to watch, it’s nice to see the $5 Windows 98 PC back! Also, on the subject of 98lite, I’ve also heard that this tool is also really useful for older Pentium PCs without MMX and prior, according to a video that The Nostalgia Mall posted in relation to this piece of utility (I even watched that video as well, really great video). The replacement of the Windows Desktop Update explorer with 95’s one can speed up the operating system on pre-MMX systems to an extent. Aside from that, this tool also helps those that have less disk space available or had a low-capacity hard drive for use with Windows 98. Pretty interesting stuff!

I can imagine that he probably still sells that program for all the YT retro channels. There's got to be at least 50 dozen of them now and they're multiplying. I love that the final size was 98.1mb, that's awesome. Could possibly fit Win98 on a 100mb zip disk if you could trim a bit more, or did they tell the truth about the size of zip disks back then unlike with hard drive sizes? For that matter, could you boot from a zip disk? That would be extra awesome. A real recovery boot disk for older Windows computers.

I remember using this for my first 486 DX4 100MHz machine and the CeleronA 333MHz machine I got afterwards: It made a *huge* difference on hardware that slow, particularly for games and emulators. I still do similar things to my Windows installs (Using utilities like nLite and NTLite), and they all gave me a very deep understanding of how Windows works at a fundamental level, which has served my IT career immeasurably.

Hi Michael. I actually installed the famous Win98 lite on Wii rebranded as Windows 98 and actually seeing that, the system seemed just like a broken Windows98 with access only to Safe mode. I say that because I actually also managed to install Windows 95 on Wii and everything worked just fine. You can use mouse pointer fine lowering pointer sensitivity, I could play Solitaire better than expected. You actually can use improve graphics performance and quality by choosing the proper graphics on Windows video properties in control panel, just choose Trio video driver you're able to set color quality to 256 colors on 640x480. Any greater color and resolution will work also but you ca't play on Wii, only on PC. You can actually see any screensavers on 256 colors but Pipes and Labirinth3D won't show on Wii, only on 16 colors. I could make an entire drawing on Paint on Wii, it's just good, as any Windows application. To make MS DOS not to crash 16 color set is necessary, it works fine in window or full screen mode. DOS text capture is pretty much delayed and you have to type letters individually and press enter on Wii virtual keyboard. DOS Box can handle Windows 95 using between 32 and 34Mb.

Funny this comment is only 10 days old. Ive been currently messing around with the same set up. I also had trouble booting up 98lite regularly and only in safe mode. Idk exactly what i did to eventually getting it to boot normally. Seems hit or miss. But i started messing around with boot settings When booting up and if it gives you boot options. (Option 4.) Step by step confirmation. Its trial and error. But as long as you boot with all drivers. It won't be safe mode. Something with low memory or the graphics driver that makes it blue screen normally. " Stated in one of his Michaels videos the dos box ctrl f12 key bind accelerates the emulation." Though i can't tell if it works for me or its disabled. I do try this when booting up and it seems to help boot normally. It seems like win98 lite for the wii is just a novelty without the ability to do anything. Usb drivers are loading but i am unable to mount and storage media device. And the cd rom drive is unable to load any CDs. No matter what i have done.

I remember trying to get my Wii to use Windows 3.1 when I was using Tantric's port of DosBox, to see if I could have a shot of running Space Cadet on it long before the reverse engineered version got a port to the Wii. I had no success with Win 3, but the console is surprisingly competent with playing DOS games. A USB keyboard is a must, plus I recommend changing the core in the dosbox.conf to simple. I liked playing Wasteland on my Wii, plus Epic Pinball.

I never knew for sure if they really meant Internet Explorer, or just its rendering engine, MSHTML. The HTML runtime _was_ embedded deeply into Windows. The shell used it for the folder view windows, Outlook Express needed it for displaying emails, Active Desktop, and so on. They used it as a dynamic content viewer anywhere they could, and having that functionality as part of the base OS made it possible for other applications to safely assume it was available as well. The "browser" was really just a front-end to that doc viewer, with some navigation controls and the like, so it didn't make any sense at all to uninstall Internet Explorer, when you were pretty much just deleting an icon at that point. (OK, a little more than that, but not much.)

It's kind of funny watching this video. Back when I was running a Win98 P1 233MMX system, I bought a copy of 98Lite Professional version 4.5, solely to tame IE4 as Windows shell in Win98. A month or so ago, wanting to play some Windows games that do not play nice with Win10, I had to use DOSBox X to create an emulated Win98 environment. I still have all my Windows 95, 98, and 98Lite files, extracted from their CDs, used to create my original 98Lite install of Windows, and I remembered how to install Windows DOS and then Windows itself, for a clean Win98 with 98Lite system. Wanting to update to the most recent version of 98Lite, my old license key wasn't valid on the site to obtain a copy of version 4.7. Emailing the company got my license updated, and enabled me to obtain the current version. On my old P1 233MMX, and in the emulated install, I'd do a clean install using the SLEEK option, rather than 98MICRO. Like a Windows install CD itself, 98Lite isn't something you'd use all the time. On a stable system you'd use it once, and that's all. For making a light weight, speedy, useable Win98 environment, though, it was a must have. And it still is.

There is similar software for Windows XP that is called nLite. I used this tool to build a custom XP install CD that had all updates injected as well as a bunch of stuff removed that was served from a Linux based PXE server.

It still exists today under the name NTLite (and it's Windows 10 compatible, but it's paid tho)

The problem with changing explorer to 95 one is that some programs refuse to work after this. For example Skype 3.8

I don't understand. What is the difference between 95s shell and 98s shell? Why is that worth replacing?

I wonder if there is any good windows 10 / windows 11 lite programs out there. Especially considering windows 11 is making me consider getting Linux instead.

I completely forgot 98lite existed. Meanwhile, in my corner of things, I find myself gravitating toward the unofficial service pack for Windows 98se and XP.

Can we see a Win98 game, Win95, and Dos games be played? I wonder if DX or openGL would crash? How do Dos games run?
