(moderation:
i've just tried to install BOINC version 4.24 on Windows 98 SE.
when i ran installer without uninstalling 4.19 i got a message that i need to uninstall first. I did so
then i ran the 4.24 installer once again and got the following error:
"Error 1720. There is a problem with this Windows
Installer package. A script required for this install to
complete could not be run. Contact your suppoprt
personnel or package vendor"
And it does not help when i restart my PC and try again :(
Please hand this message over to some boinc staff...

Some time ago Rom fixed something in the installer which might be bound to NT/2k/XP and thus not run on 98SE. Try an older one. The 4.2x clients are still experimental, so don't expect them to work flawlessly on all systems.
