Thank you very much for helping me out, Shwarc One more thing: are Windows Millennium MSDN and Select editions the same thing? I mean, I have downloaded both version as ISO files from Archive.org, and they seem to have the same size...
No these are different versions. MSDN - TYPE 111. SELECT - TYPE 110. Serial numbers are also different. Check the "msbatch.inf" file
https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/repositories-for-legacy-windows-os.88990/ Here Sajjo gives a description of the type - version. Windows 98/ME ... 110 - Select CD FPP 111 - MSDN CD FPP ... There are also links and hash sums. These are my links. https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/repositories-for-legacy-windows-os.88990/#post-1870503
You will find less difference... Diffs: w9xsetup.bin, msbatch.inf and PRECOPY1.CAB (and with inside cab) -> setupx.dll, suwin.exe setupx.dll, suwin.exe, w9xsetup.bin - will only differ with "type", 110 vs 111 (compare with a hex editor) msbatch.inf only differ with serial (which you can create a new one on the whim - BINKs are 0x1C for msdn/select and 0x1D for oem for commercial, you might end up with BINK 0x00 for beta's) (oem would be an obvious choice based on that it's bootable and they put more crap inside (i mean cool games, drivers and other goodies )) Have not actually looked at ME how/where and if any channel/sequence really matters beyond BINK id.
