The inno setup guys nicely described this in their changelog AS I
MENTIONED IN MY POST. What else can they do when they want to support
new OS features that aren't supported in this obsolete OS?

Solution: use an earlier (than 5.5.0) Inno setup. Hint: one could do the
same with Lazarus: just use 1.0 forever to support your applications.

I'm sorry but starting a rant on an installer not supporting Win98 in a
thread stating that installer's newest version does not support Win98
is... just weird.
