WIN98SE
Upon install I get the error:
FATAL ERROR
ERROR while Loading DLL
'unicows.dll'
The application will terminate now.

The setup does not complete.
Shortcut shows on desktop.
Files are in C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC
Application does not show up in ADD\REMOVE PROGRAMS
and there is no uninstaller?
How do I remove this and reinstall properly?
I have installed older versions and newer ones over the old but nothing works.
Please respond.
Also please list or point me to system requirements.
This software installed properly before in WIN98SE but not now after a reinstall of windows.
Thanks

Windows 95/98/Me users: Please note that these versions of Windows are not officially supported. No VideoLAN developer uses any of these systems, which makes them hard to support. VLC should mostly work with them, but some incompatibilities might appear. You might need to download The Microsoft Layer for Unicode on Windows 95/98/Me Systems. The two MSLU files need to be put in the C:\Windows\System\ folder.
