Hello! ... Friends of Vogons, I'm having a problem installing Windows 98SE. The first phase of the installation works correctly, but during the second phase (32-bit), when compiling the Plug & Play device database, an error screen appears and I can't continue with the installation.

I've had similar problems among others getting a Win98SE tower at my mother's house set up and found that disabling the line in config.sys that loads SETVER.EXE got me past that screen. Edit your CONFIG.SYS file, look for the mentioned line and, if found, disable it and restart your system and see if it works.
