Windows 95 build 499

Windows 95 build 499 is one of the final June Test Release builds of Windows 95. Like the builds before it, it does not have any new features and focuses mainly on bug fixes. This build is only leaked as an English upgrade copy in a DMF floppy format and in German as an upgrade CD-ROM which also contains Office 95 and Plus Pack prerelease versions.

Installation notes

 * This is an upgrade build, you must upgrade from a previous Windows version or Windows 95 build.
 * It has a post-installation  file, and as such, the default owner name is pre-set. You cannot change it during setup, but it can be changed later by modifying the registry.

German version with Plus! 4.4.210 and Office 95 7.0.1911
The German release comes on a CD which also includes Plus! 4.4.210 and Office 95 7.0.1911 and therefore benefits from their enhancements.

The CD also contains a folder "Vortrag" (which translates to "Presentation") with a lot of demonstration materials in form of PowerPoint, Word and Excel documents and also several AVI video files showing how to do tasks such as sharing files over network.

Unlike the German build 347, the boot screen has not been translated to German and is identical to the English version.

Bugs
Plus! setup files must be copied to hard disk first and a dummy RELNOTES.TXT file created in its root directory, otherwise the installation will fail due to a missing file copy error.
