Windows 98 build 1532

Windows 98 build 1532 is a post-Beta 1 build of Windows 98.
== New features and changes ==
* The Start menu banner reads "IE4 Preview Release", which was also used in build 1400.
* This is the first build to include the Windows Tune-Up Wizard.
== Bugs ==
=== Installation ===
Setup has a WINSETUP.BIN that is not recognized by setup at all times and causes setup to crash on most virtualizers except Microsoft Virtual PC, 86Box, VARCem, and some versions of VMware, due to incorrect emulation of the segment limits of the CPU core. To patch this build to run on any virtualizer, use a WINSETUP.BIN from an earlier build or the RTM.

Windows 98 build 1538

Windows 98 build 1538 is an interim build of Windows 98, which was originally scene leaked by warez group GLoW on 12 July 1997. It was later found on the first disc of the Crazybytes 17 warez CD compilation, where it was mislabeled as build 1443.
This is the last build to exclusively brand itself as Memphis, as build 1543 changes most of these references to 98.
==NFO file==
The following NFO files were included as part of the GLoW release.https://www.krnl386.com/leakdb/?query=4.10.1538
==Changes==
*Updated Internet Explorer 4 to version 4.71.1003. On higher color depths, icons now have a more three-dimensional appearance. The previous flat icons are still used on lower color depths.
*Outlook Express now stores messages locally by default.
*The "Users" Control Panel applet received a visual uplift, including a new side graphic.
*Texts of shut down options in the Shut Down Windows dialog box replaced with the ones used in the RTM.
*The Windows Help interface has been overhauled, now using Internet Explorer instead of WinHelp.
====Microsoft Family Logon====
Compared to earlier builds, the logon client received a graphic at the left side of it, which simply shows the Windows logo at the top of the graphic on a white background, while the rest is colored teal.

Windows 98 build 1564

Windows 98 build 1564 is an unconfirmed build of Windows 98. There is very little information known about this build, other than that it was apparently scene shared by the warez group Legendary on 1 August 1997, and was also mentioned in the Death Volume 25 warez CD and Fate 352 warez CD lists. 
Due to the date that it was leaked (build 1559, the latest preceding build confirmed to exist, was compiled on 4 August 1997), it is likely a mislabel of build 1546. It could also be the case, that the exact pre-day was unknown (Legendary pred the build sometime in August 1997), and a placeholder day was inserted (predbs tend to use a common RDBMS with datetime type, like MySQL, and it is assumed that the release date is known in full, leaving edge cases like this unhandled).
The list of a Traditional Chinese warez CD labeled "超級大補帖 １００" contains the zh-TW version of this build ("CWIN98 <DIR> Microsoft Windows 98 中文版 BUILD 1564").http://www.geocities.ws/SiliconValley/Sector/5878/CD100.txt

Windows 98 build 1569

Windows 98 build 1569 is a beta 2 build of Windows 98, which was originally leaked by GLoW on 23 August 1997 and later found on the Crazybytes 18 warez CD compilation.
==NFO file==
The following NFO file was included as part of the GLoW release.https://www.krnl386.com/leakdb/?query=1569
==New features and changes==
*The Windows Explorer style was reverted to a style that is similar to what is seen in older builds.
*Various new icons are used for certain items such as My Computer and the Recycle Bin, as opposed to the Plus! 95 icons seen in earlier builds.
*Changed the introductory video in the Welcome to Windows 98 applet. Said video focuses on a brief history of multimedia. It would later be reused in Release Candidate builds of Windows Me.
**Additionally, leftover references to Memphis were replaced with Windows 98.
*Microsoft Wallet is included in the list of optional components in setup, although it is unclear where or if it is attached to the user interface anywhere.
*There are some new options in the Add User wizard that would make their way into the final build of Windows 98.
*Microsoft NetMeeting is included, this time version 2.1.
*Microsoft Agent 1.5 is included.
*This is the first build to include MSConfig.
*The About box of Internet Explorer 4 received its final appearance, except that the OK button looks different compared to later builds.
*The Windows Help interface has been overhauled again, with the Internet Explorer-based HelpDesk being replaced by the Windows 98 Online Help, which is based on the HTML Help framework.
*An additional "Microsoft" string has been added to the Computer section of System Properties, causing the string which shows the installed RAM to disappear. It was later removed initially in build 1619, then re-added in build 1633 and finally removed permanently in build 1720.
===Setup===
*The billboards have been updated and the text has been enlarged as well.
*The "Setup steps" string located at the top of the sidebar has been removed.
*The turning page sound has been removed.
===Microsoft Family Logon===
A new banner (bizarrely using Windows 95 branding) has been introduced, which is now at the top rather than on the left side.
==Bugs==
===Installation===
Setup has a WINSETUP.BIN that is not recognized by setup at all times and causes setup to crash on most virtualizers except Microsoft Virtual PC, 86Box, VARCem, and some versions of VMware, due to incorrect emulation of the segment limits of the CPU core. To patch this build to run on any virtualizer, use a WINSETUP.BIN from an earlier build or the RTM.

== NFO file ==
== Changes ==

Windows 98 build 1581.1

Windows 98 build 1581.1 is an interim build of Windows 98, which was originally shared on 11 September 1997 by the warez group SWAT.https://archive.org/download/voodoo-34/VOODOO34.iso/VOODOO%2FSWTM8101.ZIP
==NFO file==
The following NFO file was included as part of the SWAT release.https://www.krnl386.com/leakdb/?query=1581
== Changes ==
* Microsoft Chat is now installed by default.
* During the final part of setup, the window that shows Windows Help to prepare for the first use no longer pops up.
*The "Internet" and "Users" Control Panel applets received new icons. The latter one is now identical to the RTM build.
*Internet Explorer now uses it's icon, instead of the default web icon.
==Bugs ==
===Installation===
Setup has a WINSETUP.BIN that is not recognized by setup at all times and causes setup to crash on most virtualizers except Microsoft Virtual PC, 86Box, VARCem, and some versions of VMware, due to incorrect emulation of the segment limits of the CPU core. To patch this build to run on any virtualizer, use a WINSETUP.BIN from an earlier build or the RTM.
===System configuration ===
It is recommended to run this build in an emulator such as PCem or 86Box, otherwise errors relating to Internet Explorer can occur during the System Configuration portion of the setup. If encountered, it is required to close them to continue, but note that many system applications will not work.
A Java package will not install properly regardless, although it can be safely ignored.

Windows 98 build 1588

Windows 98 build 1588 is a late beta 2 build of Windows 98. The English version of this build was later shared on 23 June 2024, while the Traditional Chinese version was shared two months later on 26 August 2024.https://blog.betaworld.cn/archives/240/
It reportedly also exists in Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, and German.https://groups.google.com/g/tw.bbs.comp.mswindows.win95/c/2NvdYRSaw5k?pli=1
== New features and changes ==
* This build features a major overhaul of the Windows 98 branding. Most "Beta 2" references are now replaced with "Beta 3", and it features an early version of the Beta 3 bootscreen with thinner lines, a different background and a "With Microsoft Internet Explorer" tag. This was replaced by the more common version of the Beta 3 boot screen in build 1629 when Windows 98 switched back to the "Beta 3" branding.
*The code for displaying a third row below the version number in System Properties has been removed. The Plus! VersionNumber registry string is still present in HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion and filled with the version number of Internet Explorer, but the text no longer appears in the applet.

Windows 98 build 1593

Windows 98 build 1593 is a Beta 2/2.1/3 build of Windows 98. This is the last build to have Windows 95 startup, shutdown, and error sounds before being replaced in build 1602 with the RTM sounds from Windows 98 except for the Tada and shutdown sounds. This build was scene leaked by a warez group in late September 1997.
== NFO file ==
== New features and changes ==
* The "Welcome To Windows 98" application is completely different from the versions found in 1588 and earlier. It features the Windows 98 logo sliding in with the left pane before the links in it are displayed. After that, the text on the right is displayed, and the application becomes interactive. When closing it, you will get an option to automatically start it on the next startup.
* Internet Explorer and Outlook Express have been updated from versions 4.72.0103 to 4.72.0118. There are no major changes to either of them here.
* This build introduces the setup parameters /ie for skipping the Emergency Boot Disk and /ih for skipping the registry consistence check. It also removes the note about the deprecated /n and /a parameters when starting setup with the /? argument.
* This build introduces the final design of the IE 4.0 easter egg. It is stored in res://shdocvw.dll/wcee.htm.
== Bugs and quirks ==
* There have been differing opinions on whether this build is a Beta 2, Beta 2.1 or Beta 3 build, due to its unique branding, and the fact builds 1602 through 1624 use Beta 2.1 branding.
* The Setup program throws up a lot of errors during system configuration, most of them being related to Internet Explorer's components. They have to be ignored to continue. Emulators like 86Box will run through the system configuration without any errors.
* Setup has a WINSETUP.BIN that is not recognized by setup at all times and causes setup to crash on most virtualizers except Microsoft Virtual PC, 86Box, VARCem, and some versions of VMware, due to incorrect emulation of the segment limits of the CPU core. To patch this build to run on any virtualizer, use a WINSETUP.BIN from an earlier build or the RTM. This is the last build to contain this bug.
* Several items use wrong icons.
* The default Active Desktop wallpaper remains broken if errors are encountered during system configuration.
* If a new user is created in this build, the default login client will automatically switch to the "Microsoft Family Logon" client, even if the new user is the only one in the system. This was changed in later builds, where it needed to be installed manually and have two or more users in the system for it to work properly.
* The volume control flyout is called "Master Out".

Windows 98 build 1602

Windows 98 build 1602 is the official Beta 2.1 (or "Beta 2 Refresh") release of Windows 98, even though build 1593 was labeled as Beta 3 on the boot screen.
A Traditional Chinese warez CD list contains the (assumed) Traditional Chinese version of this build,http://web.archive.org/web/20200304174744/http://jackie119.tripod.com/txt/cd85a.txt and a German version also exists as well.Windows 98 Beta 2.1 Build 1602, Winhistory.de.
==NFO files==
The following NFO files were included as part of the Glow and IRN releases.https://www.krnl386.com/leakdb/?query=1602
==New features, changes and fixes==
*There are some changes to the Active Desktop and Windows Help.
*The WINSETUP.BIN bug present since build 1500 has been fixed.
*This build is the first to introduce the final sounds. Only the shutdown, tada, and notify sounds are still different, since the shutdown sound is longer and lower pitched than the final one, with only the startup sound being finalized. The startup sound has been changed in build 1629, tada and notify sounds have been changed in build 1633, and the shutdown sound has been changed in build 1687, but the old shutdown sound made it instead into the Windows 98 theme of Microsoft Plus! 98.
*The loading animation in the boot screen has been slightly changed.
==Bugs and quirks==
*In the German language version, FrontPage Express is in English.
*On some installations of this build, after the first stage of GUI setup from MS-DOS, the setup will oddly use Tahoma in bold fonts instead of Arial, and MS Sans Serif in regular fonts instead of Arial.
