Windows 98 build 1546

Windows 98 build 1546 is the official Beta 2 release of Windows 98, which is available in the English, Simplified Chinese, and German languages. A Spanish version was shown in a magazine scan, but as of 2023 it remains unleaked. A French version was also reportedly known to exist according to some BBS forum post, but it also remains unleaked.

Changes

 * Introduced a new boot screen which is branded Windows 98 Beta 2.
 * Renamed some of the remaining Memphis references to Windows 98, including the start menu banner. The start menu banner however will be later renamed to Memphis in the next build, and later reverted back in build 1593.
 * Welcome to Windows 98 now automatically opens on the first boot, unlike in build 1544, but it still contains Memphis references.

Installation
It is recommended to not use "Realtek RTL8029AS" as network adapter, as it may prevent Windows from booting.
