The setup program searches for win.com (in the Windows dir if that was the default dir) and displays a message
"There is already a .... Use the update..."

To avoid this

Boot to Dos (F8)

You should start in the windows dir by default

Ren Win.com win.old

stick the win98 cd in

Boot from CD or win98 boot floppy

Install as normal



The problems with doing this are

All the debris from your previous install will still be in the windows and windows system dirs

You will still have to reinstall all your programs/drivers etc

Anyone else have a better idea ??
