Have you tried a dependency walker to see what DLL is missing ?

It sounds like the version of windows installer that your msi requires isn't
there. It looks like Installer 3.1 is not supported on win 98. I remember
some setting on the prerequisites page for the installer properties that
asked which installer to use. I don't have full VS at home now so I cannot
confirm the page.

Yes, the .NET 2 framework is already installed. When I try to run the MSI
file it tells me a DLL is missing. If I try to run the setup.exe file that
the install project also creates I get an error telling me that I need a
newer version of Windows.

If I copy the files directly onto the Win98 box and run it I get a vague
error message telling me that the application has generated an exception
that could not be handled. As the SDK wont install I can't see how I can
discover what the exception is.

.NET 2.0 is supported on Windows 98. You can also download it (and see
the system requirements) here:

Did you install the .NET 2.0 framework?

Install that then try to install it again. Though I'm not sure if you can
run .NET apps on 98, (though i never tried it)
