Are you using the update disc, which updates the first edition to SE, or an upgrade, which can upgrade from 3.1 or 95?

Well, it seems to me that the answer lies in the error message. It's telling you to first do the upgrade to 98 before you can do the upgrade to 98 SE. Which suggests to me that you don't have a full version of 98 SE but rather just an update disc that only supported updating an existing 98 install.

So the solution would be to either do as the error message says and upgrade to 98, then upgrade that to 98 SE, or download a full version of 98 SE and upgrade directly.

aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yes I agree sounds as if the disc being used isn't the correct one.

Have you downloaded this version from the server.

That should be the correct upgrade edition, which will do Win95 (any version) or 98 FE to 98SE.
