I have installed vlc.0.8.4a and vlc.0.8.5 on my old Win98 system but both refuse to start due to a missing unicows.dll. Up to version 0.8.1 I did not have this problem.
After I had downloaded unicows.exe for Win98 from the official Microsoft website and installed it, both vlc-versions crash on start.
Does anyone have the same problem and is there a fix? Otherwise I suggest that the requirement for unicows.dll is dropped from vlc at least for Win9x.
