Wondering about wizard...

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion (More info?)

You still have not provided the error message verbatim.

The wizard's file name is icwconn1.exe.

What has probably occurred is there is a file mismatch because you installed
W98 over itself (probably a mistake--I don't recommend this as a viable
fix). You can try replacing the files the article mentions; however, a
better solution might be to install a new version of IExplorer if you have
access to it.
