Windows 98 ISO was come with new features and enhancement after windows 95.this windows was integrated with web and IE 4 used in this windows.Window media player is also used in this windows.but Microsoft Give best change after windows 95. We can also see Windows 98 Product Key and we can used Windows 98 Wallpaper. But people still used Windows 98 Logo in system.i remember the windows 98.
I tried to do it by creating a setup project for Visual Studio 2008, but I didn't succeed.I installed IE6 SP1 manually, but Installer still crashed.Windows Installer 2.0 is installed. It's impossible to install Installer 3.0 there.I unchecked Installer at Setup Project prerequisites, but still it's not possible to install the application - the error message says that it requires a newer version of Windows.
How can this be resolved?

Do not use Visual Studio 2008 if you intend to deploy to Windows 9x or ME. VS2008 does not support these operating systems anymore, and if you're stuck with them you should use VS2005 or earlier. Also see this question: Does Visual Studio 2008 support windows 98?
According to this article Win98 is supported for 2.0
