I tried installing it in the recent past but when it tried to download some stuff it just failed. Did MS take down the servers that KernelEx relies on to import stuff?

there's a unicows.exe redistributable, just point that to C:\Windows\System and the kernelex installation will be happy. Windows 10 may have caused Microsoft to flush a lot of legacy downloads though

MattKC managed to install KernelEx on his Windows 98 PC project without needing to do a separate download and that was just in late 2020. That's why I thought I'd give it a go but then for me it just failed.
Having a 9x compatible gdiplus.dll in the Windows\System32 directory is also recommended, I vaguely remember.
Not sure if the recent KernelEx ships with it, though.

Pretty easy to install, you just have to use the included installer IIRC. Once it's installed, you need to right click on the executable and enable it with a specific profile.
By using this, I've had success installing GOG games that would normally refuse to install under Win98SE.
